Regional policies for sustainability in the Mediterranean countries: the role of a proper HVAC system maintenance in museums

2013

Italy, like several Mediterranean countries, holds a very large number of cultural artifacts that are often exhibited and saved inside museums. Museums are usually part of historical buildings that, not rarely, originally had a different intended use and that have been currently transformed in place for conservation and for exhibition of works of art. The use of historical buildings as museums leads to limitations in the management and distribution of exhibition space, in design and managing HVAC systems and in the achievement of targets relating to the continuous monitoring of the microclimate for people comfort and for preservation of works of art. Moreover, the costs of the operation and…

Educación artística : revista de investigación

Politics of Mobility and Stability in Authorizing European Heritage : Estonia’s Great Guild Hall

2019

AbstractKaasik-Krogerus scrutinizes the European Heritage Label (EHL) as an authorized heritage discourse (AHD) in the making. She analyses how the discourse is formed in a politics of mobility and stability between the local, national, and European scales resulting from the interplay of europeanization (of the national and local) and domestication (of the European). The chapter asks how this politics of mobility and stability is conducted to manage the scalar dissonance in one of the sites, the Great Guild Hall in Tallinn, Estonia. Kaasik-Krogerus argues that the politics conducted in the exhibitions works in two controversial ways: legitimizing mobility and stability as natural and simult…

The last of the large-sized tortoises of the Mediterranean islands

2022

Altres ajuts: CERCA Programme/Generalitat de Catalunya Altres ajuts: Operational Programme Research, Development and Education Project (CZ.02.2.69/0.0/0.0/16_027/0008360) Archaeological investigations carried out in the cave Zubbio di Cozzo San Pietro, Bagheria, Sicily, revealed the presence of a few skeletal elements of a large-sized tortoise in a funerary area dating to the Copper/Bronze Age. The tortoise has been AMS-dated revealing an age of 12.5 ± 0.5 kyr BP and therefore it pre-dates the funerary activities. The morphology of the retrieved skeletal elements differs from that of the only native tortoise currently living in Sicily, Testudo hermanni. The tortoise's size significantly exc…

Gastropod evidence against the Early Triassic Lilliput effect

2010

4 pages; International audience; Size reduction in the aftermath of the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event has repeatedly been described for various marine organisms, including gastropods (the Lilliput effect). A Smithian gastropod assemblage from Utah, USA, reveals numerous large-sized specimens of different genera as high as 70 mm, the largest ever reported from the Early Triassic. Other gastropods reported from Serbia and Italy are also as large as 35 mm. Size frequency distributions of the studied assemblages indicate that they were not unusually small when compared with later Mesozoic and modern faunas. The occurrence of large-sized gastropods less than 2 Ma after the Permian-Trias…

L’Aula Magna dell'Università di Palermo: cronistoria di un cantiere decorativo (1928-1938)

2020

Situata all'interno dell'odierno Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza, l'Aula Magna dell'Università di Palermo è stata progettata dall'architetto Antonio Zanca che firma nel 1929 il progetto esecutivo di un ambiente neo-settecentesco dotato di mobilio e decorazioni pittoriche sulle pareti. Nel 1934 è stato indetto un concorso nazionale per l'affidamento delle decorazioni pittoriche vinto da Arduino Angelucci e Manlio Giarrizzo cui spettano rispettivamente la volta e le pareti. Grazie alla stampa locale è possibile ricostruire - almeno in parte - le vicende di questo concorso che si colloca in un contesto nazionale fortemente attento, dopo la Triennale di Milano del 1933, al problema della decoraz…

Figure della maternità e itinerari dell’attesa negli oggetti del Museo etnografico siciliano Giuseppe Pitrè

2023

Il contributo propone una riflessione sul tema della maternità che lega, come un filo rosso, gli oggetti del Museo etnografico siciliano Giuseppe Pitrè e ne struttura la narrazione. Lo sguardo rivolto alle collezioni e al loro ordinamento restituisce la centralità di una tematica che riflette il senso profondo della cultura che gli oggetti comunicano e svela, attraverso i suoi simboli, i significati contestuali delle sue figure: le madri e i loro corpi, le madrine e i loro ruoli, le levatrici e le loro potenzialità. The contribution proposes a reflection on the theme of motherhood that links the objects of the Sicilian Ethnographic Museum Giuseppe Pitrè as a core idea and a narrative struct…

When the arts inspire businesses: Museums as a heritage redefinition tool of brands

2018

International audience; While the literature has mainly considered brand museums as communication tools or complex retail environments, this article analyses them through a heritage framework and suggests that brands can use heritage technologies of the arts for their own purposes. The case study of the brand museum of the Laughing Cow highlights the heritage technologies the brand uses to endorse two heritage roles: an inter-generational memory role based on the transmission of the brand's history and a community representation role through spaces and objects. As a consequence, this research sheds light on how brands can come to be accepted as heritage objects. By using heritage technologi…
