La materia in AristoteleRivista di Storia Della Filosofia 28 (3): 243. 1973.The paper offers a critical discussion of H. Happ's wide-ranging book entitled "Hyle. Studien zum aristotelischen Materiebegriff", Berlin 1971.

La scienza greca di Von FritzRivista di Storia Della Filosofia 44 (1): 69-86. 1989.The paper was originally intended to serve as an introduction to the Italian translation of Kurt von Fritz's "Grundprobleme der antiken Wissenschaft, Berlin, 1971, pointing out the merits but also certain limitations of the book.
