The following solution, provided here: Yet another bibliography style question does not work anymore. Only the DI part of the author name appears in smallcaps (while it needs to be all in smallcaps).
\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{ebgaramond}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{biblio.bib}
@Book{Aristosseno,
Title = {Armonikon Stoikeion},
Author = {Aristosseno di Taranto},
Keywords = {antico}
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{italian}
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=authortitle, sorting=nyt]{biblatex}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\let\mkbibnamelast\textsc%
\let\mkbibnamefirst\textsc%
\let\mkbibnameprefix\textsc%
\let\mkbibnameaffix\textsc
\renewcommand*{\newunitpunct}{\addcomma\space}
\xpatchbibmacro{publisher+location+date}{\setunit*{\addcolon\space}}%
{\setunit*{\addcomma\space}}{}{}
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{first-last}
\addbibresource{biblio.bib}
\begin{document}
\section{Sezione}
This is a test.\nocite{Aristosseno}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
It happened after updating to Ubuntu 16: a bug uninstalled biber, which had to be reinstalled from source.
Any help or any workaround suggestion? Thank you,
