A naive approach to compose aerial images in a mosaic fashion
2002
There is growing interest in multiple sequence image analysis to represent those data in a new landscape, for instance reconstruction of old films, mosaicing of images. This paper focuses attention on the mosaic problem; it introduces a naive method to link together images where a common part of the scene is present among two images. An application has been developed to test the method on aerial sequences of images. Given the long distance of aircraft from the scene, the method assumes images without distortions and without problems of prospective. Moreover, the application does not need any additional parameters coming from human experience and for this reason it can be thought of as a ful…
Mediterranean Great Conversation
2015
The exit from the Mediterranean emergency requires rethinking its identity in a new perspective. This means recognizing its legitimate role as a “Great Sea in Between”, as a cultural interface able to connect all the citizens that address to it, in everyday life and as individuals, involving them in a real “great conversation” based on the design disciplines. Design, Brand, Visual Identity, Packaging, Social Media, Fashion, Food, Architecture, Music may be powerful antidotes to the immobility of those who mourn a lost Mediterranean harmony and also a viable alternative to the ethnic closure led by the proponents of the Clash of Civilizations.

Moda e potere. Gli abiti della nobiltà palermitana come forma di rappresentazione del potere (XVII secolo)
2019
La ricerca si propone di analizzare il cerimoniale attraverso il caso studio della moda in quanto strumento di rappresentazione dello status sociale dei membri della nobiltà palermitana del XVII secolo. La moda è utilizzata nel corso dei secoli per rappresentare il potere in quanto espressione della nobiltà e della sua allocazione in società. Gli abiti rivelano tanto di una società quanto della struttura delle diverse identità e comunità che essa racchiude (Gaulme e Gaulme, 2016). L’abbigliamento, che in talune circostanze risulta strettamente legato alle regole imposte dal cerimoniale, è un mezzo indispensabile per seguire la vita di un complesso quadro sociale che ha coinvolto personaggi …
Reconciling conflicting predictions about transience and persistence of management concepts in management fashion theory and new institutionalism
2021
PurposeAlthough drawing from neoinstitutional theoretical apparatus and ontology, management fashion theory is understood as a theory that explains the transitory nature of popular ideas and practices while institutional theory explains their stabilization, persistence and further institutionalization. In a nutshell, it seems that being opposed to each other, these two theories describe and predict different, incommensurable diffusion trajectories and organizational behaviour patterns. The purpose of this paper is to unify these two competing perspectives.Design/methodology/approachThis paper makes an attempt toward further unification of management fashion theory with new institutionalism …
Protesi | Materiali di Design
2015
Le Tesi di Laura, si potrebbe dire, non sono più come una volta. E già, oggi c’è il cosiddetto “elaborato breve”, una cosetta agile per acchiappare al volo l’altrettanto agile “pezzo di carta”: la sempre meno aurea e sempre più aerea Laurea. Eppure, mi chiedo: che se ne fa un (neo)designer della Laurea? Non può iscriversi a un albo, come un architetto o un ingegnere. E poi in Italia quanto vale la Laurea, specialmente quando il 110 e lode è diventato dozzinale? In effetti, non soltanto il massimo dei voti è ormai più che diffuso, ma siamo sicuri che tutti questi designer titolati, e in generale laureati da 110 e lode, abbiano poi idea di come si fa ciò per cui hanno studiato? E ancora: a ch…
