Gilding and pigments of Renaissance marble of Abatellis Palace: non-invasive investigation by XRF spectrometry
2013
Most of the artworks constituting the collection of Renaissance statuary of Abatellis Palace in Palermo (Sicily) show evidence of colour layers and fragments of gold foil that probably once covered the whole marble surface. The restoration of some of these statues has allowed to carry out archaeometric studies about the painting technique and to highlight the original materials and inclusion present on the precious marbles by two famous Italian sculptors of the Renaissance, Francesco Laurana and Antonello Gagini. The measurements have been performed in situ through the integrated use of two non-invasive techniques: visible fluorescence stimulated by ultraviolet light and X-ray fluorescence.…

Vineyard soils and landscapes of the Burgundy Côte (France): a historical construction worth preserving
2012
International audience; The construction of vineyard landscapes along the Burgundy Côte is the result of geological processes and of human labour. Substratum diversity in this vineyard is the result of a very long history explained by the diversity of Jurassic sedimentary facies and Tertiary tectonic activity. The nature and thickness of Quaternary deposits (Weichselian scree debris and alluvial fans) reflect sediment dynamics concurrent with the last glaciation. As soon as humans started to occupy and cultivate these slopes, the changes they made in the land through crop development and roads began to structure the vineyard plots in a lasting way. The footprint of vine work in soils can be…
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,…

Scienza e Archeologia. Aspetti della comunicazione e della didattica-diffusione
2017
Dopo alcune brevi considerazioni sullo sviluppo del dibattito sull'incontro/scontro tra scienza e umanesimo e sulla necessità di un approccio teoretico ed epistemico/epistemologico a tali questioni, questo contributo si incentra sullo specifico aspetto del rapporto tra scienze e archeologia. Senza la pretesa di essere esaustivi, la necessità di un approccio multidisciplinare o, per meglio dire, interdisciplinare che unisca l'archeologia con l'archeometria (specialmente nell'ambito delle analisi non distruttive), con l'antropologia fisica, la grafica computerizzata e altre discipline e tecniche e sia connesso ad uno studio integrato dei Beni Culturali è messa a fuoco sottolineando le diffico…

THE BUILDING RECOVERY OF A TRUTH OF PALERMO (SICILY)
2008
The building recovery of a truth of Palermo (Sicily) -The study means to make its contribution to the knowledge and to the recovery of the architectural patrimony which is chronological inserted in the arc of xxth century, to study its cultural and material weaving, spotlighting the truth of Palermo. It is characterised by an evident heritage and hidden inheritances which seem to be from successive human vicissitudes, This research aims at the creation of new models of interpretation of the cultural heritage,
The Augmented Reality as an Instrument for the Representation/Visualization of Architecture
2019
This paper deals with issues related to the representation/visualization of architecture and its narration through the augmented reality tools. Specifically, the possible scenarios and the different strategies to address the problems related to the application of AR platforms in the field of cultural heritage are presented. Some case studies will be analyzed and the use of augmented reality applied to museums and archaeological sites including the Museum of the Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine in Paris, the Regional Archaeological Museum A. Salinas in Palermo and the archaeological site of Selinunte. Thanks to these exemplary cases, the potential and critical aspects of the latest AR…
3D Tools for CH Documentation
2020
The research focuses on the digital Computer Assisted Restoration procedures to guide the measure of integration of an artefact, innovating and implementing traditional research methods. Non-invasive 3D Digitalization techniques with high-performance devices allow the generation of applications for high-resolution visualization of three-dimensional environments with the possibility of navigating, analyzing and consulting virtual models in real time. The innovative application of 3D digital technologies has demonstrated that the integrated use of the new technology can be a useful tool to improve the entire process of collecting, storing and consulting information and data related to diagnos…
