Evolution of the magma system of Pantelleria (Italy) from 190 ka to present
2022
The eruptive history of Pantelleria has been marked by the eruption of nine peralkaline ignimbrites, with inter-ignimbrite episodes from small, local volcanic centres. New whole-rock geochemical data are presented for seven ignimbrites and used with published data for younger units to track compositional changes with time. From»190 ka, silicicmagmatismwas dominated by comenditic trachyte to comendite compositions, evolving along generally similar liquid lines of descent (LLOD). The final ignimbrite, the Green Tuff (»46 ka), was tapped from a compositionally zoned pantelleritic upper reservoir to a trachytic mush zone. Younger (20–7 ka) silicic magmatism has been relatively small scale, with…
LA SCUOLA OFFICINA MECCANICA PRESSO IL VILLAGGIO MONTE DEGLI ULIVI A RIESI. RICOSTRUZIONE DI UN PROCESSO TRA ANALISI COMPOSITIVE E GRAFICO-GEOMETRICHE
2015
Il presente contributo trae origine da una più ampia ricerca che ha consentito di approfondire la comprensione dei principi progettuali e geometrico-compositivi dell’opera in oggetto; avvalendosi anche di un rilievo scientifico integrato che, attraverso nuove tecniche digitali applicate, ha permesso di condurre una specifica analisi grafico-geometrica sull’impianto architettonico1. L’edificio della scuola officina meccanica, inserito in un più ampio e articolato complesso edilizio2, è composto da una singolare configurazione in pianta ai diversi livelli, oggi non più chiaramente leggibile a causa dei numerosi interventi di trasformazione subiti. I disegni di restituzione grafica, realizzati…

Semantics
2020
There are many different ways of defining the word “semantics”. For instance, according to Eco (2017: 550–551), it is possible to distinguish at least five senses of semantics. That is to say: a. Semantics as the study of the meaning of terms removed from any context [...]; b. Semantics as the study of content systems or structural semantics [...]; c. Semantics as the study of the relation between term (or sentence) and referent, or as the study of reference [...]; d. Semantics as the study of the truth conditions of propositions expressed by sentences; e. Semantics as the study of the particular meaning that terms or sentences assume in context or in the text as a whole [...]; With particu…
Das kompositorische Verfahren in Jean Moutons Quadrupelkanon Nesciens mater virgo virum
2012
Anhand der kompositorischen Probleme, die sich bei der Konzeption mehr als zweistimmiger Kanons ergeben, wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie der konkrete Kompositionsprozess um 1500 ausgesehen haben konnte. Eine Analyse von Jean Moutons Motette Nesciens mater zeigt, dass die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Kanonkonzeption, Klangfolge und melodischer Gestaltung eine simultane Kompositionsweise voraussetzen, in der die Klangfolge wechselnde Verhaltnisbestimmungen als Resultat und Voraussetzung der kontrapunktischen Konfiguration erfahrt: Der Wechsel von der Sukzessiv- zur Simultankonzeption erscheint in Bezug auf komplexe Kanonbildungen als ein verfahrenstechnisches Erfordernis.
Come un piccolo pensiero può riempire tutta una vita. L’Offerta musicale (1747) di J.S. Bach e Proverb (1995) di Steve Reich su testo di Ludwig Wittg…

Il saggio analizza le strutture compositive di Proverb (1995) di Steve Reich e le particolarità del rapporto con il testo di Wittgenstein in relazione con alcuni aspetti dell'Offerta musicale (1747) di J.S. Bach
2013
Propositional content is often incomplete but comprehenders appear to adjust meaning and add unarticulated meaning constituents effortlessly. This happens at the propositional level (The baby drank the bottle) but also at the phrasal level (the wooden turtle). In two ERP experiments, combinatorial processing was investigated in container/content alternations and adjective-noun combination transforming an animate entity into a physical object. Experiment 1 revealed that container-for-content alternations (The baby drank the bottle) engendered a Late Positivity on the critical expression and on the subsequent segment, while content-for-container alternations (Chris put the beer on the table) …
Eclecticismo, Écart y alteridad: Symphony V American, de Leonardo Balada, como paradigma compositivo
2021
Eclecticism is a complex creative trend born as a consequence of both postmodernism and the heterodox treatment of cultural identity borders. This aesthetic path emerges as a compositional model of great communicative power in contemporary creation in the last two decades. Our essay addresses the Symphony V "American" (2003) by Leonardo Balada (1933) as a compositional paradigm. Through this article we demonstrate the importance of including popular sounds and re-signifying materials in the creative conception. A valid model of communication ahead of the challenges of globalization and mass media processes is therefore established hereby.
On Language Adequacy
2015
Abstract The paper concentrates on the problem of adequate reflection of fragments of reality via expressions of language and inter-subjective knowledge about these fragments, called here, in brief, language adequacy. This problem is formulated in several aspects, the most general one being: the compatibility of the language syntax with its bi-level semantics: intensional and extensional. In this paper, various aspects of language adequacy find their logical explication on the ground of the formal-logical theory of syntax T of any categorial language L generated by the so-called classical categorial grammar, and also on the ground of its extension to the bi-level, intensional and ex- tensio…
An original experimental approach to study the alteration and/or contamination of archaeological ceramics originated by seawater burial
2014
This paper deals with the proposal of an original experimental methodological approach specifically designed for appraising any compositional alteration and/or contamination of archaeological ceramics after the protracted contact with seawater. A series of ceramic test-pieces (briquettes and cylinders) were purposely manufactured by mixing selected calcareous or non-calcareous clays with different varieties of sieved sand temper. The aim was to reasonably simulate the ceramic pastes most frequently found in the shipwrecks recovered in the coastal areas of western Mediterranean. The used raw materials were previously characterized in terms of mineralogical and chemical composition (XRPD, XRF…
