2017
The reconstruction of the inaugural event of the Exhibition of Sacred Art of the Madonie di Maria Accascina. From the handwritten notes found, the theatrical formula of the moment conceived by Accascina herself preparatory to the opening of the rooms, between parades of ancient costumes and narration of historical and artistic events linked to Sicily
Figurazioni dell'amor patrio - Esuli, profughi e migranti nelle arti visive del Risorgimento
2019
Figura simbolica fortemente radicata nell’immaginario risorgimentale, l’esule conferisce un volto umano a valori fondativi del discorso patriottico, come lo spirito di sacrificio e il senso di appartenenza alla comunità nazionale. Da tempo oggetto di studi storici, storico-letterari e comparatistici, il tema dell’esilio conosce una notevole fortuna iconografica nell’Europa del XIX secolo, qui per la prima volta esaminata in maniera sistematica grazie alla ricostruzione puntuale della genesi di opere che in virtù della loro natura allusiva suscitano l’interesse degli ambienti patriottici. Oltre a proporre una casistica dei motivi più ricorrenti, l’autore interpreta le immagini dell’esilio al…
Integrated prototyping and rendering system for the display of ceramic finds
2017
The project, carried out in collaboration between the Department of Architecture of Palermo and the Archaeological Museum Antonino Salinas of Palermo, proposes a system of integration and reconstruction of ceramic artefacts, using modeling, 3D printing and rendering processes for an integrated museum exhibition system, which the viewers can observe the fragment nearing the re-reconstructed fragment that reconstructs the original morphology and an interactive digital model in which the viewers can also observe the metric aspect and, where present, the decorative apparatus.

Assembling Reminders for a Particular Purpose: Paolozzi’s Ephemera, Toys and Collectibles
2019
This chapter addresses the centrality of environmental installations in Paolozzi’s late production and the relevance that the practice of “assembling reminders for a particular purpose” holds in his understanding of the artist’s profession, further constituting another aspect of affinity with Wittgenstein. In order to do so, Mantoan examines three aspects that are instrumental to understand Paolozzi’s ‘collecting mood’ that led him to assemble a rich variety of items, ephemera, toys and objects of popular culture: the first one concerns the likely origins of this attitude, grounded in his childhood years, as well as in the influence of Parisian Surrealism and American mass culture; the seco…
New technology for archaeological museums: three case studies on the Mediterranean coast
2013
The archaeology/technology combination has long been accepted with the second being seen to be at the service of the study and conservation of the first. Much less immediate and recent is the combination between the archaeological museum and technology for communication. Certainly, becauseof its ability to express dynamic and immediate information, new technology, if well integrated in the exhibition and well calibrated with the presence of original objects, can be a very effective support to the public’s appreciation. The paper aims to provide some examples that seem to adequately describe good integration practices between the authentic and the mediated, between the original and the virtu…
The Museum of London, a City Museum as Narrative Exhibition
2014
From temples of sacred objects to repositories of colonial trophies and from monuments of civility to spaces for self-expression, the shape and the appeal of museums through history has been fashioned to hold particular collections of objects. Moreover the museums have been also designed to adapt to particular display techniques appropriate for a particular collection. In the last century, a period of structural reinvention in the design and shaping of the exhibitions, the museum making is challenging, creative, and complex. The ‘new museum making’ includes emotive exhibitions within communicative buildings in order to create ‘narrative experiences’ which integrate objects, spaces, and audi…
Low cost system for visualization and exhibition of pottery finds in archeological museums
2015
The objective of this project is to build a low-cost system for surveying, modeling, prototyping and interactive visualizing aimed at the enhancement of islamic pottery finds of X – XI centuries. The system will allow various applications: the creation of systems for displaying artifacts from the museum alongside the exhibition, the virtual view of restorations from fragments, including AR and VR, the physical reconstruction of the original form using 3D printer to show the pieces in their entirety, as well as the construction of interactive virtual archives to be made available to scholars and visitors.
QUEL LABILE CONFINE TRA ARTE E DESIGN
2019
Il design è arte? Questa domanda, che molti si pongono e alla quale non pochi hanno cercato di rispondere in modo definitivo, costituisce il filo conduttore di questo breve libro nel quale si cerca di dare al lettore una traccia per orientarsi nel mondo dell’arte e del design, spesso insidioso e/o difficilmente comprensibile. La necessita di un ripensamento dell’opera e dei ruoli dell’artista e del critico che si adatti a una realtà in trasformazione e al centro del dibattito nell’ambiente intellettuale italiano fin dall’inizio degli anni ’60 del novecento. Questione nodale e quella di definire un’arte che, per cosi dire, si trova al di là della dimensione dell’artisticità, nella prospettiv…
Raccolta iconografica
2011
Comunicare il design italiano, inteso come prodotto Made in Italy, implica una singolare e duplice attività progettuale, ovvero quella che conduce attraverso le varie fasi sequenziali del design di comunicazione, alla realizzazione di un artefatto comunicativo nel tentativo ultimo di dare un nome, un volto, una voce, un sistema di segni riconoscibili a un artefatto di product design. Un rapporto stretto e biunivoco che si innesta tra i due in una relazione che lega a doppio filo forma e funzione, prima nel prodotto poi nella comunicazione, infine in un tutt’uno indissolubile, in cui il design soltanto, connotato dai suoi tanti nomi, diventa l’unica chiave di lettura dell’oggetto parlante.
