MUTAZIONI IN CORSA: L’AVVENTURA DELLA COSTRUZIONE DI UNA FACCIATA DEL SETTECENTO. LA CHIESA DI SAN GIOVANNI A VIZZINI
2022
A series of documents helps to define the history of the genesis of an eighteenth-century church façade in Sicily: the church of San Giovanni in Vizzini. The history reveals a constant change of intentions and an empirical approach where, without necessarily proceeding to demolish the already built, the project is subjected to continuous revisions and additions. The process therefore reveals a radical alternative to the idea of an orderly succession between drawing and execution.
Earthquake-resistant construction techniques in Italy between 1880 and 1910: alternatives to reinforced concrete
2017
The series of earthquakes that struck Italy between the late nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century spurred a lively debate about earthquake-resistant buildings that, through the influence of foreign experience, resulted in specialised literature and competitions that gave rise to a series of interesting patents. Innovative construction solutions for seismic areas were largely developed after the earthquake that struck the cities of Messina and Reggio Calabria in 1908, alongside the parallel advances in reinforced concrete. New earthquake-resistant construction solutions were based on a reassessment of traditional construction methods that used bricks, timber or me…

De Musica Disserenda, XII/1, 2016: Nineteenth-Century Music in Central Europe: Paradigms and Popular Canon
2016
Nations and nationalism have been a main research topic for decades, but the last few years have witnessed noticeable growth in these studies. The perspective generally accepted in the humanities – that demands for political independence of the nations in nineteenth-century Central Europe were premised on a sense of cultural identity – has also been taken up by contemporary musicological thought. Essays by philosopher and social anthropologist Ernest Gellner on “invented nations” in Nations and Nationalism (1983), or by historian and political scientist Benedict Anderson on “imagined communities” in Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism (1991), supported …

LEZIONE 10. Breve storia dell’epistemologia pedagogica contemporanea
2017
Questa Lezione è dedicata al Novecento, un secolo ricco di diverse scuole di pensiero e di maestri il cui merito è stato quello di avere contribuito a trasformare il sapere pedagogico favorendo una svolta epistemologica: se fino all’Ottocento la pedagogia era un sapere ancora fortemente identificato con la filosofia, nel XX secolo essa diventava una scienza capace di riflettere criticamente sull’educazione e sulla formazione dell’uomo, assumendo le caratteristiche di un sapere specifico, complesso e più articolato. This lesson is dedicated to the twentieth century, a century full of different schools of thought and masters whose merit was to transform the pedagogical knowledge favoring an e…

2016
This book brings together the papers presented at the Conference held in Messina at the Department of Ancient and Modern Civilisations on 29 and 30 October 2014 in memory of Vincenzo Aiello. On this occasion, scholars of various nationalities and scientific backgrounds remembered the young colleague who died prematurely with contributions on topics particularly close to him. The papers were divided into two sections: the first on the figure of Constantine, his Fortleben and the political and religious dynamics of the 4th century; the second on the impact of the presence of the Vandals in the Mediterranean basin in the 5th century and the new political geography determined by the conquest of…
