From Conservation to Revitalization. Ambiguous and Critical Conditions in the Heritage Conservation Experiences of Erice
2022
The plans and the evolutionary trends of policies and practices implemented in Erice old town, in the south of Italy, in the western part of Sicily, can be considered a case study of total conservation as highly representative of Italian urban planning of the last 60 years. This paper aims to deal with the actual problems and the perspective of sustainable development of the historical centre of Erice, by adopting the approach of urban and territorial regeneration. This paper also highlights the historical and cultural context in which the Gubbio Charter (issued in 1960) is affirmed; i.e. the most appropriate approaches to historical urban centres; what we can learn from Erice’s integral co…

Il tempo nuovo dei beni culturali, dell'economia e dei territori
2021
The essay examines the evolution of the relationship between culture and economy in the legal debate, in the perspective of the progressive overcoming of the opposing tendencies to the mixture between the two areas in relation to the growing dimension of the enhancement of cultural heritage, identifying the weaknesses of the discipline (regional ) the participation of cultural assets in the urban regeneration of territories
I beni culturali: tra tutela e valorizzazione economica
2018
This article describes the historical evolution of the protection and enhancement of the cultural heritage, in order to verify the possibility that the economic development of the territory is connected to the enhancement function, so that the enjoyment of cultural property can be considered a possibility for a territory to economically grow.
PATRIMONIO CULTURALE E MARGINALITÀ. LA PANDEMIA DELLA SOLITUDINE. QUALE RIGENERAZIONE?
2021
We start from the assumption that culture is what man assimilates, modifies and transforms, to which he contributes with his work, adding to and preserving the historical heritage. The sum of heritage diversities and values gives cultural uniqueness to the coexistence of the communities that make up each territory. Our main task, the task of each one of us who with an educated eye understands the meaning and value of heritage, must be directed towards committing ourselves not only to be actors in the present historical moment in which such testimonies survive, but to be authors of practices of preservation and enhancement. We cannot learn culture just by looking at its symbols, but by livin…
Digitization Practice in Latvia: Achievements and Trends of Development
2011
The 1980s are characterized by rapid development of digitization process and research of digital libraries. In 1994 Latvia was also involved in this process with the first attempt to digitize the materials of high demand and in poor physical condition at the Latvian Academic Library. In 1998 the digitization process was launched at the National Library of Latvia. The study, the first results of which are presented in this publication, is made to analyze the history of digitization in Latvia, and to evaluate the achievements of these activities. Up to now the development of digitization process has been poorly documented, therefore the empirical sources are unpublished documents (project rep…
3D survey and modelling of the main portico of the Cathedral of Monreale
2018
3D survey and modelling of Cultural Heritage allow to store a great deal of 3D data that can be managed for different purposes. 3D models can be used for documentation, restoration and knowledge of historic architectures and monuments. In this work, a 3D survey of the main portico of the Cathedral of Monreale (Palermo, Italy) was carried out. The paper presents the data acquisition process and the 3D modelling phase. The work is aimed to reconstruct a 3D model that could be used also to set up an HBIM (Heritage or Historic Building Information Modelling) of the main portico. The result of this study could be considered as a first test to implement an HBIM platform for the whole monumental c…
Investigation of Wood Materials by Combined Application of X-ray and Neutron Imaging Techniques*
2014
Abstract Conservation of cultural heritage is extremely important not only from a cultural point of view, but also from a practical one. It is our duty to pass on to future generations the cultural heritage left to us by our ancestors. Wood is one of the most common materials used to generate works of art which are in a state of constant change and/or deterioration. In order to optimize the knowledge of artworks together with their conservation, it is necessary to use the most advanced scientific and technological tools. In the following paper, we will show the tomographic results which can be achieved by application of complementary techniques based on the combined use of X-ray and neutron…
Nanotechnology for Cultural Heritage
2014
The conservation science is one of the most complex topics in the materials science as it requires interdisciplinary expertise ranging from the architecture, the technology of materials to the advanced analytical and physical chemistry. However, the recent development has shown that the complex tasks of the conservation of the cultural heritage can be solved very effectively using novel nanomaterials and nanotechnology methods.
A Multimedia Museum Application Based Upon a Landscape Embedded Digital 3D Model of an Ancient Settlement
2012
This paper describes the development of a digital reconstruction of the celtic hillfort “Altburg” (Germany), which was generated in the context of a museums exhibition in the Hunsruck-Museum Simmern (Germany). This model refers to the City GML standard and considers the principles of the London Charter for establishing internationally recognized principles for the use of three-dimensional visualization by researchers, educators and cultural heritage organizations.
