In another bowl, mix the chopped herbs with the breadcrumbs, the grated pecorino cheese, salt, pepper and oil just enough to bind the mixture, mixing thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
Grease the bottom of a pan with oil large enough to hold the artichokes distributed on the bottom and resting on the back.
Spread the prepared breadcrumbs mixture over the artichokes, then add the wine and the juice of half a lemon, finally put on the fire and cook for about 20 minutes on medium heat, with a container covered by a lid.
When there are 5 minutes to the end of cooking, transfer to an oven dish and put under the oven grill to make au gratin.
