Stability and disassembly properties of human naïve Hsp60 and bacterial GroEL chaperonins.
2015
Human Hsp60 chaperonin and its bacterial homolog GroEL, in association with the corresponding co-chaperonins Hsp10 and GroES, constitute important chaperone systems promoting the proper folding of several mitochondrial proteins. Hsp60 is also currently described as a ubiquitous molecule with multiple roles both in health conditions and in several diseases. Naïve Hsp60 bearing the mitochondrial import signal has been recently demonstrated to present different oligomeric organizations with respect to GroEL, suggesting new possible physiological functions. Here we present a combined investigation with circular dichroism and small-angle X-ray scattering of structure, self-organization, and sta…
The Countryside in Sicily under the Roman Empire: Archaeological Survey and Methodological Approach, Settlements and Resources
2019
Si illustra lo stato delle attuali conoscenze archeologiche relative al paesaggio rurale di età romana della Sicilia, attraverso i risultati delle prospezioni archeologiche e di analoghe ricerche effettuate a partire dagli anni '80 del secolo scorso. In alcuni territori (come Himera, Gela, Agrigento, Alesa, e in altre aree interne) queste ricerche hanno prodotto informazioni nuove che aiutano a comprendere le differenti dinamiche storiche che caratterizzano varie aree dell'isola. The object of this report is to describe the current knowledge about the Roman landscape of Sicily, and the results connected to the archaeological surveys and other similar researches carried out from the eighties…
LA VIABILITÀ MINORE NELLA SICILIA CENTRO-MERIDIONALE: IL COMPRENSORIO DI CIGNANA TRA LA VIA SELINUNTINA E LA CATINA-AGRIGENTUM
2021
Obiettivo del contributo è esaminare il sistema stradale di età antica, con un’attenzione particolare rivolta alle vie secondarie, in un ben definito comprensorio della Sicilia meridionale, l’area del Progetto Cignana, pochi km ad est di Agrigento. Si tratta di cogliere non tanto i caratteri della viabilità di lunga percorrenza (la via Selinuntina e la via Catina-Agrigentum) quanto piuttosto le interconnessioni tra i principali assi viari, la rete secondaria (spesso attestata lungo i principali corsi d’acqua), gli insediamenti rurali e gli approdi sulla costa. This paper is aimed to analyze the ancient road system in a selected area of the Southern Sicily, between Agrigento and Licata (Cign…
Osservazioni sulla viabilità antica nel comprensorio di Trapani
2020
This paper is aimed to analyze, in a preliminar way, the ancient road system in a selected area of the Northern Sicily, between Segesta and Trapani. The focus are the connections between main roads (the so-called via Valeria and the hypothetical pathways) and settlements, the morphological context and the most significant toponyms from the archaeological point of view. The research is carried out by the archaeological data, contemporary and historical cartography, and it is also focused on the secondary roads.
Paesaggio e memorie dell'antico: dall'archeologia all'arte contemporanea
2021
The aim of this paper is to compare different perceptions of cultural landscapes: the landscape of a Hellenistic-Roman city, Halaesa, reconstructed through archaeological surveys, and the contemporary landscape – natural and cultural – that characterizes the Tusa river, so-called “Fiumara d’arte”, where some installations of modern art have been made. Here the modern art is integrated with the landscape, in which it seems to emphasize some peculiar aspects, result of complex interactions. This analysis allow us to use the archaeological data to understand the relationship between human activities the symbolic aspects which connect ancient and modern communities to their territories.
Tra Palermo e Solunto: insediamenti, ambiente, paesaggio, viabilità e risorse in età antica
2020
This paper describes the hinterland between Palermo and Solunto (north-western Sicily). The focus is the distribution of settlements, linked to the geomorphological context, the potential resources and the ancient route system. The analysis ranges from the Archaic to the Middle Ages, when some relevant sites – both from an economic and strategic point of view – are part of the properties of the Teutonic Order. Some important routes cross the area, both in the SW direction, towards Monte Iato, and in the SE direction, towards the area of influence of the Greek colony of Himera. The analysis is carried out using toponymy and historical cartography, associated with the few archaeological data …
