Form, figure and landscape for nature in the city.
2014
The article “Form, Figure and Landscape for Nature in the city” describes, through a sequence of steps, the urban and territorial threshold that give structure to the Piacenza southern area. It analyzes in detail the elements that define three “rooms” at different scales: - at the territorial scale, the farmhouses define a system of elements as focal point overlooking the agricultural surface, interpreted as background; - at the urban scale, the reconfiguration of the morphological tissue of the INA Casa neighborhoods allows to read a district itself as a specific “room” inside Piacenza urban fabric; - at the architectural scale, the gardens of interior courtyards of via Francigena building…
The Configuration of Space Through Architecture in the Thinking of Gadamer
2017
Although Gadamer stresses the importance of temporality, historicity and tradition, the aim of this contribution is to underline the uniqueness of architecture in Truth and Methods’ investigation relative to the essence of a work of art. The uniqueness of architecture for Gadamer lies not only in the fact that it gives space for the expression of all other kinds of artworks; a building has to be to understood as self-sufficient and as autarchic, but also as inscribed in the concrete historical life. A further aspect of the uniqueness of architecture originates in the fact that a building determines our way of life or our dwelling even in a political sense.
Questue e figure vicariali in area euromediterranea
2015
Bambini, poveri, becchini, sagrestani – nell’orizzonte ideologico delle culture tradizionali di area euromediterranea – condividono statuto e funzioni simboliche: sono figure vicariali dei defunti nonché mediatori mitici tra il mondo dei vivi e quello dei morti. Nell’intervallo temporale che si sussegue dall’equinozio autunnale a quello primaverile, tali figure erano – e in alcuni contesti, come quello sardo, sono tutt’oggi – protagoniste di questue, nell’ambito delle quali l’offerta materiale e simbolica dei doni sanciva, rinnovandola, l’unità ideale tra sfera umana ed extraumana. Nel presente lavoro, la documentazione folklorica e l’indagine etnografica tentano di chiarire il significato …
Missing Curious Fraction Problems
2018
In this paper we present a study of one of the best-known types of descriptive word fraction problems. These problems have disappeared from today’s textbooks but are hugely important for developing arithmetic thinking. The aim of this paper is to examine the historical solution methods for these problems and discuss the analytical readings suggested by the authors. On the basis of this analysis we have conducted a preliminary study of the performance of 35 Spanish students who are highly trained in mathematics. Our results show that these students have a preference for algebraic reasoning, are reluctant to use arithmetic methods, and have reading comprehension difficulties that are reflecte…
«History’s stained canvas»: Uses and appropriations of medieval past in Enlightenment Historiography. The case of Peter «the cruel»
2020
The aim of this paper is to explore the political meanings of the medieval past in the historical understanding of individuals in the 18th century. Beyond the familiar Gothic myth, I will focus on the multilayered image of the monarch Peter of Castile (1334–1369), considered cruel, lustful and passionate in the eyes of enemies and historians. The aim is to analyse the different attitudes towards and uses of this historical figure (one that was quite problematic given the cultural values of the period), ranging from the most negative of connotations to the most passionate of defences and including some more ambiguous stances. For this analysis, I will explore certain Enlightenment debates th…
Declinazioni del rapporto tra le arti e l'architettura nella prima metà del Novecento: i Palazzi di Giustizia in Sicilia
2021
La tesi affronta la tematica del rapporto tra le arti e l’architettura, ricorrente nei dibattiti culturali sin dalla primigenia antinomia téchne/ars ma di particolare importanza nella prima metà del Novecento. Dapprima la questione viene inquadrata a livello generale, tramite l’analisi di tre episodi peculiari dei primi decenni del ventesimo secolo, ossia: la quinta edizione della Triennale di Milano del 1933, consacrata alla pittura murale; il sesto Convegno Volta del 1936, dedicato al tema “Rapporti dell’architettura con le arti figurative”; la promulgazione della Legge del 2%, che prevedeva la destinazione di almeno la suddetta percentuale, rispetto al totale della spesa preventivata, pe…
