Seminario dottorale di Storia medievale

Marco Papasidero (University of Palermo) took part in the Doctoral Seminar in Medieval History at the University of Messina, where he presented his talk “Demoni, santi e tempeste sovrannaturali. Appunti per una storia culturale.”

His presentation focused on how believers sought saintly intercession to ensure favorable weather or ward off storms, while Vincenzo Tedesco examined the demonological perspective, interpreting the same events as manifestations of the devil’s influence. This dual approach sheds light on the evolving relationship between humans and nature over the centuries.
