Consumers' brand heritage experience: between acceptance and resistance
2020
International audience; The literature dedicated to heritage experience and brand heritage defends the idea that it is a source of significant value creation for consumers and brands.

Museums as disseminators of niche knowledge: Universality in accessibility for all
2019
Accessibility has faced several challenges within audiovisual translation Studies and gained great opportunities for its establishment as a methodologically and theoretically well-founded discipline. Initially conceived as a set of services and practices that provides access to audiovisual media content for persons with sensory impairment, today accessibility can be viewed as a concept involving more and more universality thanks to its contribution to the dissemination of audiovisual products on the topic of marginalisation. Against this theoretical backdrop, accessibility is scrutinised from the perspective of aesthetics of migration and minorities within the field of the visual arts in mu…
Microbial deposits in the aftermath of the end-Permian mass extinction: A diverging case from the Mineral Mountains (Utah, USA)
2015
40 pages; International audience; The Lower Triassic Mineral Mountains area (Utah, USA) preserves diversified Smithian and Spathian reefs and bioaccumulations that contain fenestral-microbialites and various benthic and pelagic organisms. Ecological and environmental changes during the Early Triassic are commonly assumed to be associated with numerous perturbations (productivity changes, acidifica-tion, redox changes, hypercapnia, eustatism and temperature changes) post-dating the Permian–Triassic mass extinction. New data acquired in the Mineral Mountains sediments provide evidence to decipher the relationships between depositional environments and the growth and distribution of microbial …
Activity against Microorganisms Affecting Cellulosic Objects of the Volatile Constituents of Leonotis nepetaefolia from Nicaragua
2014
The chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of L. nepetaefolia (L.) R. Br. collected in Nicaragua was evaluated by GC and GC-MS. The main components were ( Z)-phytol (22.8%), caryophyllene oxide (18.9%) and hexahydrofarnesylacetone (9.0%). The antibacterial activity against several Gram + and Gram - bacteria, including Bacillus cereus and B. subtilis, both infesting historical cellulosic material, was also determined. B. cereus, B. subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermis were the most affected by the action of the oil.

Da Riccardo Quartararo a Cristoforo Faffeo. Un capolavoro del Museo Diocesano di Palermo restaurato e riscoperto
2016
Il volume, concepito secondo una metodologia multidisciplinare, propone all'attenzione degli studiosi nuovi dati per la conoscenza di una tavola dipinta dell'ultimo quarto del XV secolo proveniente al Museo Diocesano di Palermo dalla Cattedrale; finora attribuita a Riccardo Quartararo e identificata come Santa Cecilia solo per la presenza dell'angelo musico, l'opera viene qui correttamente riconosciuta, dopo il restauro, come Santa Barbara per l'imponente torre retrostante e attribuita al pittore napoletano Cristoforo Faffeo sulla base non solo di analogie stilistico-formali, ma di evidenze tecnico-esecutive e scientifiche nel confronto con altre opere riferite allo stesso e al Quartararo; …

Crowdsourcing Cultural Heritage: From 3D Modeling to the Engagement of Young Generations
2016
Monitoring, digitizing and archiving museum artworks represent an important socio-cultural accomplishment and an overcoming in digital preservation today. Cultural heritage is constantly under threat of terrorist attacks and natural disaster. The high costs related to documentation task have prevented a constantly and massive survey activity. The low cost 3D image based acquisition and elaboration techniques of an object, allow to carry out a 3D photorealistic model in a short time. Therefore, a lot of museum adopted these techniques for the artworks archiving. Crowdsourcing activities can significantly speed up survey and elaboration procedures. If, on the one hand, these initiatives can h…
Teacher training for Primary School defending diversity and inclusion. Memory of a case of teaching experience through Museari
2020
Entre las posibilidades de la educación artística conviene destacar las cuestiones de reivindicación social, especialmente la lucha por la equidad y el respeto hacia las minorías. Dentro de esta corriente socializadora se enmarcan los avances en materia de género y diversidad. La lucha por los derechos humanos se convierte así en un lugar común desde el cual implementar políticas culturales e innovaciones educativas. Estamos trabajando en esta línea desde hace tres décadas, conscientes de la necesidad de implicarnos en los avances que promueven la convivencia y el equilibrio social. Hace cinco años creamos el museo online Museari para desarrollar proyectos y mejorar la situación de los cole…
