The Resilience of the Valley of Temples among natural calamities and social disasters
2017
Preservation of the cultural heritage, intended as common patrimony, is a cultural achievement that in territories like Sicily, which has often suffered the lack of legality, is the result of a difficult process of implementation. Cultural heritage is not ruined exclusively by natural calamities: damages caused by social and cultural disasters may at times be even more devastating. The archeological park of Agrigento, born in 1947 after a natural disaster (a landslide in 1944), hides a history of a half century of battles between illegal land use and legislative measures to protect a cultural heritage recognized worldwide. After fifty years of attacks against the archaeological park, a slow…
Abitare la transizione nei Centri minori in Sicilia
2023
The proposal aims to develop concrete experience on possible ways of living from a framework of national and international references on the theme of the Social Housing Community to define a specific methodology on strategies to be tested on the theme of residence temporary in small towns in Sicily. The provision of minimum and adequate space for short and long periods of welcome is thus intended for new temporary residents (returning young people, migrant families, the elderly, travellers in transit) which can also be used to meet the needs of migrants, under the public direction of the municipal administration. The issue of residency is back in the disciplinary debate after the health eme…

2022
The small towns can become the places to reactivate the rural areas of our country through essential factors starting from the natural and cultural heritage, from social inclusion, from psycho-physical well-being, helping to reverse the unstoppable phenomenon of the flight of young people. The current Covid-19 emergency has revealed the crucial role of health, not only in terms of health facilities, but also in new ways to feel better, spend more free time outdoors, eat healthily and boost the economies of Local communities. It is in this context that the research-action project of the research group and the LabCity Architecture degree laboratory aims to investigate the theme of the city th…

Preliminary studies on red palm weevil as potential risk for palm trees in mediterranean basin
2012
The impacts of insect invasive species on human health and on agricutlture have attracted worldwide attention. However, researchers and policymakers rarely directly address the connection between invasive species and loss in natual and cultural heritages. Various attempts have been made to address the plants that are affected by invasive species but the links between these and loss in naturla biodiversity and heritage in botanical and historical gardens are largely lacking in the literature. We report a study on the Red Palm Weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorous ferrugineus (Oliv.) (Fig. 1) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) which is the most important pest of the palm date trees in many countries. RPW is …

Con una pervasività ed una velocità inusitate, la disintermediazione ha impresso il suo sigillo sulla nostra era. È il principio su cui si fonda tutta la tecnologia dell’universo blockchain che, sostituendo tutte le istituzioni centrali con reti orizzontali, aperte e condivise di blocchi, valida le operazioni senza bisogno di controllori, notai o terze parti (di qui anche il discusso fenomeno dell’NFT, “non-fungible token”, permette di comprare un’opera senza il bisogno di una galleria/ un mediatore). Una svolta di enorme impatto che, dalla verticalità centralizzata con cui veniva dispensata la cultura dei corpi intermedi, giunge all’orizzontalità decentralizzata che connette gli individui,…

Dominare le nuove sfide della trasformazione digitale: dagli strumenti alla strategia
2022
For two decades now, digitalisation processes have been transforming our societies and our economic systems. The world of cultural heritage is no exception. Essentially perceived as a technical innovation, digitization appeared (pre-Covid) as the natural evolution of practices, with particular emphasis on aspects related to better conservation of heritage. The Covid-19 pandemic represented a significant, albeit disorderly, rupture and acceleration of this path, in particular in response to the need to adapt to the restrictions on social life and mobility that characterized the 2020-2021 period. Today, in the post-pandemic phase, it is important to analyze the new conditions in order to prep…
