Il progetto “Cignana” (Naro-Palma di Montechiaro, Sicilia centro-meridionale). Prospezione archeologica intorno alla villa romana di Cignana. Primi d…
2012
Si illustrano i risultati di quattro campagne (dal 2007 al 2010) di prospezione archeologica condotte nel territorio intorno alla villa di Cignana, toponimo - forse da un originario Liciniana - che documenta la probabile esistenza di una vasta proprietà agricola in età imperiale romana. La prospezione, condotta in modo intensivo e sistematico all’interno di un ampio comprensorio ed associata ad un GIS, documenta tutte le fasi di vita del territorio, ricchissimo di testimonianze dal Neolitico all’alto medioevo, con lo scopo di cogliere i modi di sfruttamento delle risorse e le principali dinamiche di trasformazione del popolamento.
Resuttano (IGM 260 III SO)
2002
Il volume illustra i risultati della prospezione archeologica condotta in un'area della Sicilia centro-settentrionale, allo spartiacque tra i fiumi Imera Settentrionale, Imera Meridionale e Platani. Si ricostruiscono le dinamiche dell'insediamento antico dalla preistoria all'età tardo-antica e alto medievale, nonché il sistema della viabilità antica, con il supporto della carta archeologica e della carta della visibilità dei suoli, realizzate tramite GIS.
Landscape Dynamics and Cultural Contacts in the Territory of Himera in the Archaic Period
2022
In central-northern Sicily, the watershed area between the northern and southern Imera and Platani rivers has already been recognized for years as a pivotal area in relations between the different areas of the island, both in reference to the political and economic projections of the colonial poleis , especially between Himera, Akragas, both in reference to economic relations and cultural contacts with indigenous communities. This area is very crucial context of encounter and confrontation between communities, in which complex systems of territorial articulation can be grasped. The position of the settlements along the basins of the two Himera highlights a close connection in terms of inter…

Site effects assessment through historical and instrumental data integration
2006
ABSTRACT This work illustrates the historical data contribution to the analysis of the microtremor survey results carried out in May 2003 in the city of Palermo by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia and the Dipartimento di Geologia e Geodesia – University of Palermo. The microtremor survey has been carried out within the project SESAME (Site EffectS assessment using AMbient Excitations) funded by the European Commission, devoted to test the effectiveness of the seismic noise, and in particular of Nakamura technique, in the site effects assessment. The Nakamura technique singles out zones characterized by a near-surface geology suitable to produce site effects, by exploiting …
4D paleoenvironmental evolution of the Early Triassic Sonoma Foreland Basin (western USA)
2017
In the wake of the Mesozoic, the Early Triassic (~251.95 Ma) corresponds to the aftermath of the most severe mass extinction of the Phanerozoic: the end-Permian crisis, when life was nearly obliterated (e.g., 90% of marine species disappeared). Consequences of this mass extinction are thought to have prevailed for several millions of years, implying a delayed recovery lasting the whole Early Triassic, if not more. Several paradigms have been established and associated to a delayed biotic recovery scenario expected to have resulted from harsh and deleterious paleoenvironments. These paradigms include a global anoxia in the marine realm, a “Lilliput” effect, and the presence of “disaster” tax…
AMUN: An Object Oriented Model For Cooperative Spatial Information Systems
1997
International audience; The diversity of spatial information systems promote the need to integrate heterogeneous spatial or geographic information systems (GIS) in a cooperative environment. We present an on going research project, called ISIS (Interoperable Spatial Information System), which aims to build an environment to support interoperability of GIS by interconnecting spatial data repositories and spatial processing resources. Our solution combines techniques from traditional interoperable information systems, spatial data modeling and distributed object oriented databases. While object oriented data modeling impact has been studied in spatial databases, research in model for distribu…
PPGIS applied to environmental communication and hazards for a community-based approach: a dualism in the Southern Italy "calanchi" landscape
2021
<abstract> <p>The need of protection of the territory is a priority for the society, which is an integral part of it (unfortunately, this coincidence is often forgotten): the new environmental issues require the development of innovative management strategies and of appropriate knowledge and models. The balanced use of resources, essential for the survival and well-being of society, can be optimised through the promotion of the territory. The identification and the sustainable development of local resources can only be achieved by directing development policies towards a path of integration between ecological needs, protection of the landscape and socio-economic and cultural nee…
Il turismo come strumento di sviluppo urbano sostenibile: un caso studio

"Abbandonarsi al mare e al sole che esplode...". L'ultimo viaggio a Napoli di Hans Werner Henze
2015
Il saggio ricompone il mosaico della produzione teatrale di HW Henze, con particolare riferimento ai rapporti fra il compositore e la cultura italiana. Inoltre vengono analizzati la genesi, la drammaturgia e i caratteri musicali dell'opera GISELA!, proposta dal Teatro Massimo in prima rappresentazione italiana.
