Architettura e Paesaggi Dell’UNESCO in Sicilia
2022
Se ognuno dei siti UNESCO riconosciuti oggi in Sicilia rappresenta il segno visibile di un preciso carattere o di un determinato paesaggio, considerati tutti insieme, i sette siti possono immaginarsi come traccie delle moltissime e più ampie stratificazioni sopravvenute nel tempo, di cui possiamo distinguerne i segni e le specificità ben oltre le perimetrazioni del patrimonio. Questo mosaico può ampliarsi a comprendere molte altre Sicilie, divenendo nuova metafora dell’isola molteplice. L’architettura e il patrimonio, allora, riconosciuti nella loro complessità, nei segni e negli effetti che producono sul territorio, possono divenire strumenti per la comprensione di una realtà più ampia, di…
Arte contemporanea e sistema dell’arte. Una breve ricognizione
2018
Il contributo prende in esame i principali soggetti del sistema dell’arte, come artisti, curatori, critici, collezionisti, gallerie, musei e fiere, analizzando la nascita del fenomeno in riferimento a protagonisti e movimenti di epoca contemporanea e offrendo spunti di riflessione sulle dinamiche che regolano tale network complesso e affascinate. The contribution explores the main players of the art system (artists, curators, critics, collectors, galleries, museums and art fairs) examining this phenomenon in reference to contemporary artists and movements and offering a reflection on the dynamics which regulate this complex and fascinating network.
Virgin and Child sculptures in Buenos Aire’s public collections, 12th to 16th centuries
2016
During the last years, the building process and history of art collections became a prolific field of study in Argentina. However, research on medieval art in private and public collections in our country received little or no attention. But even if medieval art is considerably less represented than modern styles, there is an interesting amount of high quality medieval pieces exhibited at several museums in Argentina. The main purpose of this thesis is therefore to expand our knowledge of the medieval works of art in public Argentine collections, as related to their origin, dating, interpretation, technique and provenance. These pieces show great diversity of styles, provenance and techniqu…
Stochastic Vulnerability Assessment of Masonry Structures: Concepts, Modeling and Restoration Aspects
2019
A methodology aiming to predict the vulnerability of masonry structures under seismic action is presented herein. Masonry structures, among which many are cultural heritage assets, present high vulnerability under earthquake. Reliable simulations of their response to seismic stresses are exceedingly difficult because of the complexity of the structural system and the anisotropic and brittle behavior of the masonry materials. Furthermore, the majority of the parameters involved in the problem such as the masonry material mechanical characteristics and earthquake loading characteristics have a stochastic-probabilistic nature. Within this framework, a detailed analytical methodological approac…
Development of Eco-Friendly and Self-Cleaning Lime-Pozzolan Plasters for Bio-Construction and Cultural Heritage
2020
Summarization: Nowadays, the design and use of multi-functional mortars has increased significantly, with interesting applications in the green building and cultural heritage conservation sectors. A key point for a correct adoption of these innovative materials is their behavior along time and their resistance to the weathering. The objective of this project was to define the performance and durability of innovative mortars, in order to use them correctly and to avoid irreparable damage over time. For the development of this project, lime–metakaolin and hydraulic lime–metakaolin based mortars (hereinafter called A, B), as well as A and B with the addition of nano-TiO2 and perlite (hereinaft…

Bagheria città della bella architettura barocca e tardo barocca - Bagheria Il Barocco e il Tardo Barocco
2020
La realizzazione delle ville nella Conca d’Oro di Palermo ha un incremento significativo nella seconda metà del Seicento. Prima di quel periodo, il territorio attorno a Palermo era puntellato da torri, bagli, cappelle rurali e rare architetture suburbane per la residenza stagionale. Le direttrici della cultura della villeggiatura sono rappresentate ad est di Palermo da Bagheria e Santa Flavia, e a ovest da Mezzo Monreale, Pallavicino e S. Lorenzo. Anche nella “Bagaria”, contrada appartenente a Palermo fino al 1826, anno in cui divenne comune autonomo, alle numerose torri, bagli fortificati e cappelle rurali si cominciarono ad aggiungere, già a metà del Seicento numerose ville, che costituiv…

Holistic Approach to the Mediterranean Architectural Heritage at risk of abandonment: the case study of Montalbano Elicona (Italy)
2022
A conceptual and methodological renewal is needed in the field of formation, transformation and management of the built environment. This need also concerns the architectural heritage, a non-renewable resource threatened by various types of risk factors, including abandonment. A similar phenomenon (intended as a lack of usage, which leaves room for improper or harmful utilization) is juxtaposed with overuse (intended as too intense and continuous a usage), which today is even more unacceptable, due to the need for social distancing as part of the containment measures of COVID-19. There is a wide and varied case history regarding abandonment, with reference to possible causes and consequence…
