PATRIMONIO STORICO SICILIANO: LE TORRI COSTIERE
2016
L’intervento di conservazione e valorizzazione delle torri costiere, che è oggetto di questo contributo, è il risultato di uno studio che mette in primo piano una metodologia di recupero edilizio fondata su una rigorosa analisi del manufatto storico e al contempo di una politica di gestione sostenibile delle risorse culturali e ambientali. Le torri costiere sono emergenze significative del territorio, tracce di pregevole rilievo della cultura difensiva siciliana per valore storico ed ambientale. Le torri hanno ancora un significato intrinseco che non è soltanto di testimonianza storica, bensì dell’essere siti privilegiati del territorio, attraverso i quali poter innescare un circuito di con…
LAS CUBIERTAS DE HIERRO DE LA PALERMO LIBERTY - THE IRON ROOFS IN PALERMO’S LIBERTY
2016
The iron architecture spreads in Europe in the nineteenth century, coinciding with the advancement of the steel industry and the development of the extraordinary Art Nouveau period, a movement that analyses the evolution of the modern world, the industrial development, the advances in technology, the new social and cultural needs, to find a new suitable form to meet the new demands of representativeness. In this atmosphere of urban renewal, modern technology plays a primary role, and iron is well-suited to adapt to the new demands of taste that draw inspiration from nature and its organic forms. Many of the iron works of the period have disappeared, destroyed or demolished and others are in…
Pedagogia interculturale
2015
Il volume mette a fuoco gli aspetti teorici ed operativi dell'educazione interculturale: i concetti, le analisi, le prospettive e le indicazioni operative. Un testo per capire come la globalizzazione e la crescente compresenza di più usi, costumi, lingue e religioni rendano la prospettiva della didattica interculturale sempre più centrale, e ineludibile, anche per la scuola italiana. Per superare le visioni che leggono l'emigrazione e i contesti multiculturali in termini di disagio e di rischio e considerare le culture come realtà dinamiche, in continua evoluzione e il loro confronto come una grande risorsa, anche dal punto di vista educativo. Uno strumento pensato per quanti hanno a cuore …
Power Production from Produced Waters via Reverse Electrodialysis: A Preliminary Assessment
2022
Wastewaters generated by crude oil extraction processes, called “produced waters” (PWs), are complex solutions that contain organic compounds, mainly hydrocarbons, and often exhibit high salinity. The large amounts of PWs represent a global issue because of their environmental impact. An approach widely used in the oil industry is the reinjection of this wastewater into the extraction wells after a suitable treatment. The high salt concentration of such solutions may be used in salinity gradient technologies to produce green electricity. Among these technologies, reverse electrodialysis (RED) is one of the most promising. In this work, the application of RED for energy generatio…
Ionic liquids: a highway with many lanes
I giardini storici di Bagheria fra abbandono, complice distruzione e valorizzazione
2021
Il saggio indaga il patrimonio delle ville e dei giardini storici, sistemati con parterre, viali, sculture, padiglioni, fontane e ricca flora e in alcuni casi anche fauna esotica, realizzati, dalla seconda metà del Seicento, a Bagheria, vicino Palermo. Sono anche presentati i processi di trasformazione, abbandono e distruzione (seconda metà del sec. XX), valutando le nuove politiche d’intervento basate sulla necessità di un censimento dei giardini e dei parchi storici superstiti, attivando le basi indispensabili per contribuire all’azione di conoscenza, tutela, manutenzione, restauro e valorizzazione. Per alcuni interventi di restauro già effettuati su giardini storici, come villa Cattolica…
TOWARDS AN ADVANCED CONSERVATION STRATEGY: A STRUCTURED DATABASE for SHARING 3D DOCUMENTATION between EXPERT USERS
2019
Abstract. Nowadays, the researchers in Cultural Heritage fields investigate more and more about advanced conservation strategies that comprehend the possibility to share and use 3D models and structured information related to them. One of the modern method adopted to achieve this goal is to use structured web-platform. These are online systems that can handle data, created to contain and support precise information. They simultaneously respond to the need for a common ground for different expert users and of a unique tool where to store several kinds of data, coming from heterogeneous sources. The article aims to show how it is possible to build a valid tool for the conservation and monitor…
Andamento dei valori fondiari in Italia ed in Sicilia
2013
The present study has two aims, to provide a further contribute to the literature on land market, and to highlight the possible relationships between some macroeconomic factors affecting the land values trend in Italy and in Sicily. The data obtainable from the available information sources in the field were collected and processed. More in detail, in the first part of the paper a reference scenario is described through the presentation of the general features of agricultural land market, relying upon the specific scientific literature. Hereinafter, some time series at national and Sicilian level were built by using average agricultural land values, inflation rates and agricultural value ad…
Environmental assessment of energy valorisation of residual agrofood industry biomass in Sicily: a life cycle approach
2020
Anaerobic digestion (AD) uses biomass to produce biogas to generate heat and/or electricity. Several studies have reported that the adoption of AD may not necessarily lead to sustainable practices. For example, energy crops may cause significant impact due to the requirement of intensive agricultural practices. Then, residual biomasses are starting to be considered as alternative biomass for energy valorisation trough AD. In this context, this study assesses the potential environmental impacts related to the energy valorisation of agro-food industry waste though the Life Cycle Assessment methodology (ISO 14040). The system examined consists of a real anaerobic digester coupled with a combin…
Luce per rivivere… Alla scoperta di Baetulo, Catalogna / Light to relive…Discovering Baetulo, Catalonia
2013
L'illuminazione artificiale deve rientrare a pieno titolo nelle competenze di quanti siano impegnati ad affrontare la questione della valorizzazione dei siti archeologici, specialmente nell’area mediterranea. Negli ultimi decenni, infatti, abbiamo assistito a una progressiva apertura e proiezione verso il mondo esterno di quelli che possiamo definire i “luoghi della memoria”. Artificial lighting needs to return with full titles in the expertize of those committed to tackle the issue of enriching archeological sites, especially in the mediterranean area. As a matter of fact, in the last ten years, we have aided an openminded progression towards the external world of those who we can call “pl…
