Combination of indomethacin and statin compared with indomethacin and placebo in patients with a first episode of acute pericarditis: preliminary fin…
2007
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of indomethacin and statin compared with indomethacin plus placebo in patients with a first episode of pericarditis. A total of 55 consecutive patients with acute pericarditis were randomized in a double-blind manner into two groups: group I (statin group) was treated with 150 mg of indomethacin plus 10 mg of rosuvastatin, and group 2 (placebo group) was treated with 150 mg of indomethacin plus placebo. Both groups received treatment up to the normalization of inflammation markers and for the following week. Clinical and laboratory assessments [white cell count, ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and C…
I CASTELLI DELLE RIVOLTE. DALLA PIANA DI PARTINICO ALLA VALLE DELLO JATO (PALERMO) SULLE TRACCE DEGLI ULTIMI MUSULMANI IN SICILIA OCCIDENTALE
2017
Following the excavations of the "Castellazzo" fortress of Jato, it became necessary to revise the archaeological materials coming from excavation and reconnaissance in all those fortified sites that welcomed the Muslim population during the revolts between the last Norman and Swabian ages. Attention was thus focused on at least two phases in the construction of such fortresses, often simple towers rather than real castles, corresponding to the beginning of the Norman domination and the Federician period.
Halaesa Arconidea (Tusa, Messina). Primi risultati dagli scavi delle fortificazioni, settore nord-est.
2023
This report describes the activities and results of two years of archaeological excavations carried out by the University of Palermo at the site of Halaesa, in northern Sicily. The excavations revealed the structure of the ancient city walls (maybe built in two different phases, during the Late Hellenistic/Early Roman peri-od) and the presence of a tank close to the wall, connected to the defense sistem.
Gestione e uso dell’acqua a Solunto: le cisterne
2019
The paper presents the first issues of a new study about cisterns of Solunto, carthaginese city situated in Sicily, and water management of the town during the graeco-roman period. It shows the ways of collecting and managing water, particularly in what concerns raining water. XIXth et XXth century excavations have discovered many hydraulic structures, generally cisterns (70 for the moment with a capacity between 10 and 30 m3) and channels or architectonic elements which have never been studied. We begin with a general presentation and continue with some peculiar structures of the Solunto environment.
12 dicembre 1942. Bombe su Solunto. Storia di un fatto dimenticato
2022
This contribution presents the traces on the ground and the archive documentation of a bombardment that took place in Solunto the night of 12 December 1942. The starting point of this research was a photograph preserved in the archives of the Regional Archaeological Museum Antonio Salinas which documents the restoration of a Solunto cistern following the bombing of the Allies. The site, in fact, was hit by a bomb which caused damage to the large masonry cistern placed near the Casa delle Maschere, at the highest point of the site. Archive research has allowed us to reconstruct the dynamics of the facts and revealed the commitment of the Superintendents to the Antiquities of Western Sicily, …
Nuove testimonianze di età romana in territorio di Carini
2017
This paper describes the historical evidence (middle-imperial age and late antiquity) of rural communities in the Amone site, territory of Carini (Palermo). To study this site, identified by the archaeological survey, it was used a special methodological choice based on the division of the area (10 hectares) in smaller peripheral units, defined by the property lines of each field, which allows a more accurate positioning of ancient remains. A further level of detail is derived from a controlled collection of 5x5 m squares in one of the peripheral units. The identification of the external evidence, such as the discovery of ancient thermal facilities and fragments of polychrome mosaic, allows…
Il balaneion dell'agorà di Solunto
2019
Ettore Gabrici, who first excavated the structure located in the northwest corner of Solunto’s agora in 1920-21, identified the remains as part of a thermal bath, despite missing some of the key elements which usually characterize this type of buildings (hypocaust, praefurnium, heating pipes). After the re-examination of the architectural elements, this paper suggests a different interpretation which takes into account archaeological evidences from the broader Mediterranean context (especially from Sicily and the Punic world). The results here presented could actively contribute to a better understanding of the hydraulic engineering in Sicily during the Hellenistic Period. As a matter of fa…
Entre destructions et reconstructions, le patrimoine sicilien pendant et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale
2020
Dans cette contribution, nous présentons les traces sur le terrain et dans les archives d’un bombardement survenu à Solonte dans la nuit du 12 décembre 1942. Le point de départ de cette recherche est une photographie conservée dans les archives du Musée archéologique régional Antonio Salinas, documentant la restauration d’une citerne de Solonte suite aux bombardements alliés. Nos recherches dans les archives ont permis de reconstituer la chronologie des faits et de mettre en lumière le rôle des Surintendants des Antiquités de la Sicile occidentale, Jole Bovio Marconi puis Vincenzo Tusa, pendant et après la guerre pour protéger le patrimoine culturel. Solonte, comme d’autres sites siciliens,…
