The Nymphaeum of the Tritons at Hierapolis of Phrygia (Turkey) from excavations to 3D-virtual reconstruction: an example of integrated methods in the…

2011

The Nymphaeum of the Tritons at Hierapolis of Phrygia is a monumental fountain of the Roman period with an imposing marble façade. Within the activities of the Italian Archaeological Mission the Nymphaeum is currently being studied by a team from the University of Messina with the goal of understanding its original layout and its history. The starting point of the study is the wealth of data provided by stratigraphic excavation of the building, particularly by the extensive archaeological deposits formed by the blocks of the façade collapsed into the pool of the fountain following an earthquake in the 7th century AD. The need to process a large amount of data required the creation of a comp…

Mining Landscapes in Sicily: Problems, Strategies and Perspectives

2015

Sicily has been characterised by a striking mining activity throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. It deeply changed the appearance of the internal areas of the Island, transforming natural and agricultural landscapes into industrial ones. When the extraction activities finally came to an end, the industrial landscape started to be regarded from another point of view, as a cultural and touristic value. However, mining landscape is today a wasted opportunity. Large parts of machines, railways and chimneys are disappearing due to carelessness and abandonment. Anyway, the crisis which is affecting Europe will eventually force us to look back at these territories as a possible resource to over…

L'archeologia industriale: una storia di edilizia, economia ed abbandono. La Manifattura Tabacchi di Palermo

2016

Nella storia del nostro paese ci sono stati periodi di grande lustro economico, nei quali fiorirono fabbriche che producevano alacremente e che davano lavoro a migliaia di persone e rappresentando per alcuni centri urbani una enorme risorsa ed un punto di riferimento. Si tratta in genere di complessi edificati, all'interno del tessuto urbano o poco fuori da esso, che dalla loro realizzazione hanno influenzato economia e costumi degli abitanti del luogo, segnando spesso la sua stessa storia. Le fabbriche hanno fornito anche l'occasione di sperimentare tecniche costruttive nuove, rese necessarie dalle grandi luci da coprire o dai carichi da sostenere, e soluzioni funzionali sempre diverse, da…

IL TRACCIATO DEL GAS A PALERMO TRA PERMANENZE E VARIAZIONI

2019

La presenza di infrastrutture primarie come luce e gas, all'interno dei centri abitati costituisce un tema di analisi del rapporto tra il sistema dei tracciati e la pianificazione urbana. Alla fine del diciannovesimo secolo, Londra, Parigi e alcune città italiane come Palermo furono dotate di illuminazione artificiale a gas. Nel 1914, per sostenere l'espansione della città verso Nord, fu costruito un nuovo gasometro in posizione centrale rispetto al tracciato urbano di Via Libertà per distribuire il gas ai nuovi quartieri nascenti. Dopo l'arrivo della corrente elettrica il gasometro divenne un luogo abbandonato, ma continuò ad essere custode della memoria di un passato, elemento di riconosc…

A detailed analysis of the spatial distribution of Schöningen 13II-4 'Spear Horizon' faunal remains

2021

The Middle Pleistocene Schöningen 13II-4 'Spear Horizon' (Germany) is a key site for the study of human evolution, most notably for the discovery of Paleolithic wooden weaponry and evidence for developed hunting strategies. On the other hand, the 'Spear Horizon' offers an excellent opportunity to approach hominin spatial behavior, thanks to the richness of the archeological assemblage, its exceptional preservation, and the vast expanse of the excavated surface. Analyzing how space was used is essential for understanding hominin behavior at this unique open-air site and, from a wider perspective, for approaching how humans adapted to interglacial environments. In this article, we present an …

«Degna secondo le mire del mondo d’un secolo migliore». Maria Carolina d’Asburgo-Lorena a Palermo

2019

The essay reconstructs the events connected with the presence of Ferdinand and Maria Carolina in Palermo, the capital of the Kingdom of Sicily, where they stopped in December 1798 after a journey full of obstacles. Although distant and only indirectly affected by the dramatic events surrounding the republican experiments, the city - suffering from the political emergency and the unstable military situation - lived in fear of a feared French invasion and in the fear of the simultaneous presence of Spanish and English Troops caused tension. Der Aufsatz rekonstruiert die mit der Anwesenheit von Ferdinand und Maria Carolina in Palermo, der Hauptstadt des Königreichs Sizilien, zusammenhängenden …

Reverse Engineering, Rapid prototyping and augmented Reality: integrated techniques for new models of fruition of archeological heritage

2013

Reverse engineering (RE) and Rapid Prototyping (RP) have long been used for the representation, interpretation and communication of artistic and archaeological heritage, as well as their museum fruition. An application is given by the construction of models for tactile perception for blind-users: it has been developed a model, in real scale, of a kantharos of the sixth century BC modeled with mixed techniques of rapid prototyping CNC with polymeric resin. Another possible application is the integration of RE and RP techniques with Augmented Reality (AR). It has been made an experiment on the model of the Temple of Castor and Pollux in Agrigento. The physical model, made with additive proces…

Relazione antropologica preliminare inumato 1386

2018

Sui resti della Villa tardoantica del Casale di Piazza Armerina, tra il X secolo d.C. e gli inizi dell’XI si era impiantato un vasto insediamento islamico che occupava una vasta area anche a sud e a nord della Villa, di cui è stato esplorato un ampio settore con una strada glareata su cui si aprivano le unità residenziali, alcune delle quali presentavano un cortile interno basolato in cui si trovavano anche un focolare e un forno, intorno a cui si dislocavano i vari ambienti e spesso anche una scala per l’accesso al piano superiore o al tetto. Improvvisamente l’abitato venne abbandonato e i suoi resti furono livellati ; mentre a partire dalla metà dell’XI secolo viene costruito un nuovo abi…
