3D Tools for CH Documentation
2020
The research focuses on the digital Computer Assisted Restoration procedures to guide the measure of integration of an artefact, innovating and implementing traditional research methods. Non-invasive 3D Digitalization techniques with high-performance devices allow the generation of applications for high-resolution visualization of three-dimensional environments with the possibility of navigating, analyzing and consulting virtual models in real time. The innovative application of 3D digital technologies has demonstrated that the integrated use of the new technology can be a useful tool to improve the entire process of collecting, storing and consulting information and data related to diagnos…
Geophysics and cultural heritage. A living field of research for Italian geophysicists
2015
If one reads the World Heritage List 2002/2003, (http:// whc.unesco.org/archive/WHList02-ENG.pdf), a datum comes out with evidence: 12 countries have 253 World Heritage Sites (WHS) and all the 125 member countries have 586 WHS. Within these 12 countries Italy has 35 WHS corresponding to about 6% of the whole, followed by Spain, 5.8%, France, 4.6%, and the tenth has less than 2% of WHS. Cultural heritage is one of the greatest riches of Italy. Europe, with China, is the land which has the most stratified history in the world, and Italy is likely to still have undiscovered settlements dating from the prehistoric age to the 18th century. Some areas are totally unexplored, others have been only…

Design, agro-food and cultural heritage for sustainable local economy development
2016
The aim of this paper is to describe, using the sustainable design process, the relationships between tourism, agro-food traditional products and cultural heritage to regenerate local development. For this purpose the study investigate the territory of Modica, a specific area in the south-east side of Sicily (province of Ragusa). The project is based on the approach of circular economy to enhance and use derivatives and waste of the selection process from the supply chain of Modica cottoia broad bean. The paper is divided in two sections one about the research step and the other about design step. The research step begins with the exploration and collection of information in order to examin…
GLAM ORGANIZATIONS’ DIGITAL MATURITY INDICATOR: A STATISTICAL APPROACH FOR CAMPANIA MUSEUMS
2019
Digital Maturity is a complex phenomenon, involving vertical as well as horizontal processes throughout firms. Therefore, the use of multidimensional tools represents the most appropriate approach in measuring companies’ digital transformation status (Chanias and Hess, 2016). In recent years, Digital Maturity Models (DMMs)were developed in order to get a current measure of an organization’s as-is digital capability (Deloitte, 2018). However, DMMs’ effectiveness relies purely on raw data without taking into account items’ different difficulties. Moreover, though the vast majority of digital maturity models are mainly focused on manufacturing based organizations, an understanding of the chall…
Ecomusei e micromusei
2022
Faced with a renewed framework of museology, the concept of cultural heritage, expanding enormously, refers to a great complexity of underlying elements, stories and relationships that require and await a necessary narrative, conveyed by material and immaterial, communicative artifacts. Design is called, today more and more often, to operate within the complexity of design strategies that are able to develop new ways of enhancing, communicating and using cultural heritage and traditional productions rooted in the territories, exploring their multiple aspects also through methodologies of highly experimental design (interactive, multimedia). Each ecomuseum represents a unique reality, by ter…
