Il nobile casato dei Ventimiglia e Donna Felice Ventimiglia Barberini
2017
Nella prima parte del saggio (R.F. Margiotta, Il nobile casato dei Ventimiglia dalla Liguria alla Sicilia) si delinea la storia dei Ventimiglia, provenienti dalla Liguria, insediatisi in Sicilia sin dal Duecento, da Francesco I a Francesco IV Rodrigo, padre di Felice Ventimiglia, e ci si sofferma sulle opere più rappresentative da loro commissionate. Nella seconda parte (M.C. Di Natale, Felice Ventimiglia Barberini dal principato di Castelbuono a Roma) si prende in esame la figura di donna Felice Ventimiglia e se ne ripercorrono le vicende della vita attraverso due significativi documenti: l'inventario dotale della nobildonna, stilato nel 1693, in occasione delle nozze con il principe di pa…
Arte Textil y tradición en la Provincia de Catamarca, Noroeste Argentino
2019
espanolLas tradiciones textiles en la Provincia de Catamarca, constituyen parte de una identidad cultural conformada a partir de elementos muy pujantes provenientes de distinto origen. Estos se traslucen tanto en estilos y tecnicas de piezas de exquisita estetica y calidad. Evidencian ademas, la historia de las industrias y manufacturas textiles que aportaron al desarrollo de esta actividad, considerada por sus habitantes como parte de su idiosincracia que -lamentablemente- con los anos tiende a desaparecer. EnglishThe textile traditions in the province of Catamarca, are part of a cultural identity formed from very vigorous elements from different origins. These are permeated both styles an…
The benedictine church and monastery of Santa Maria Maddalena of Corleone. Works of art and documents
2019
Il lavoro esamina le diverse fasi di costruzione della chiesa e del complesso monastico di santa Maria Maddalena di Corleone, importante centro dell’entroterra siciliano, soffermandosi in particolare all’età moderna. Le inedite fonti archivistiche indagate oltre ad individuare le maestranze impegnate nei lavori fanno emergere importanti artisti. Successivamente si passa all’individuazione delle opere d’arte sacra ancora esistenti mai indagate scientificamente e raccolte insieme per la prima volta. This work examines the different phases of construction of the church and the monastic complex of Santa Maria Maddalena of Corleone, an important centre in the Sicilian hinterland, focusing in par…
Fashion-driven Textiles as A Crystal of A New Stream for Stakeholder Capitalism – Amazon's Endeavor
2020
Fashion reflects changes in socio-economic and cultural life which, in turn, changes fashion, and apparel boosts such change. Thus, in response to a shift in people’s preferences from economic functionality to supra-functionality beyond an economic value, the fashion industry has been gaining momentum worldwide. In the digital economy, the fashion industry is in the midst of global dynamic change stimulating volatility, velocity, variety and dynamism, which necessitate a digital solution. Digital business leader Amazon has succeeded in constructing an R&D-driven disruptive businesss model. This can be attributed to a virtuous cycle among user-driven innovation, advancement of the …
A new multi analytical approach for the identification of synthetic and natural dyes mixtures. The case of orcein-mauveine mixture in a historical dr…
2017
In this paper, the application of a multi-analytical approach for the characterisation of synthetic and natural dyes in a historical textile is presented. The work is focused on a historical dress of a Sicilian noblewoman, dating from about 1865–1870. Firstly, SERS on fibre was performed, in order to individuate the classes of dyes employed. The SERS spectra suggested the presence of two main dyes: mauveine and orcein. In order to confirm these preliminary results, two different extraction protocols were applied. The extracts obtained were analysed by ESI-MS, MALDI-ToF and UHPCL-MS analyses, confirming the SERS results. In particular, the application of the ammonia mild extraction technique…
Structure–property relationship and controlled drug release from multiphasic electrospun carvacrol-embedded polylactic acid/polyethylene glycol and p…
2018
Electrospinning technologies gained considerable interest over the last decade. In this study, it is proposed a systematic study of polylactic acid/polyethylene glycol (PLA/PEG) and polylactic acid/polyethylene oxide (PLA/PEO) electrospun blends at different concentrations. The effect of blend composition and PEG molecular weight on the morphological and mechanical properties of the mats was evaluated. Furthermore, the kinetic release of carvacrol as model drug in phosphate buffer saline at 37℃ was studied and the data were then fitted using an exponential model. The scanning electron microscopy revealed that the morphology of the mats was strongly dependent on the relative ratio PLA:PEG, …

“Iugalia aurea et argentea et bona mobilia”. Postille documentarie sui Ventimiglia di Gratteri
2019
Numerosi inventari, atti dotali, testamenti e donazioni rintracciati presso l’Archivio di Stato di Palermo permettono di ricostruire la ricchezza e la varietà del patrimonio artistico della famiglia Ventimiglia del ramo di Gratteri. Numerous inventories, doctrinal deeds, wills and donations found at the State Archives of Palermo make it possible to reconstruct the wealth and variety of the artistic heritage of the Ventimiglia family of the Gratteri branch.
Continuous Microfiber Wire Mandrel‐Less Biofabrication for Soft Tissue Engineering Applications
2022
Suture materials are the most common bioimplants in surgical and clinical practice, playing a crucial role in wound healing and tendon and ligament repair. Despite the assortment available on the market, sutures are still affected by significant disadvantages, including failure in mimicking the mechanical properties of the tissue, excessive fibrosis, and inflammation. This study introduces a mandrel-less electrodeposition apparatus to fabricate continuous microfiber wires of indefinite length. The mandrel-less biofabrication produces wires, potentially used as medical fibers, with different microfiber bundles, that imitate the hierarchical organization of native tissues, and tailored mechan…
