concrete evidences of reality

I agree that *trovamenti* and *repertazioni* is a hendyadis, so it may be a good idea to join the two

finds/findings and evidences of the Real

this seems to be the best I can come up with

trovamenti = ritrovamenti = archaeological finds/findings
repertazioni = the act of collecting reperti
reperti = results in medicine, evidences/exhibits in legalese, and finds/findings in arch. contexts (synonym of the above)

in the end, the author is 'poetically' and 'elliptically' repeating the same concept twice...

hth, and good luck with such a work!

it seems to me that the whole text, and the wrinting style of the author himself, are \'poetically\' based on hendyadis and other rethoric tricks, so I don\'t think it shuold be \'flattened\' down, if you get what I mean
