AR to Rediscover Heritage: the Case Study of Salerno Defense System
2022
Recognizing and transmitting the uniqueness and identity of one’s territory represents fundamental step to guarantee its sustainability, protection and valorisation. Of particular importance, moreover, is the issues of the lesser-known heritage of great value but which, unfortunately, in some cases is still little known and often in a state of neglect. However, the diffusion of new technology and the great development of digitization positively contribute to the accessibility and visibility of these patrimonies, increasing the knowledge and the dissemination. This contribution focuses on one of the towers of the coastal defence system, a perfect example of a lesser-known architecture of gre…

How and Why ‘Theory’ Is Often Misunderstood in Information Systems Literature
2019
IS theory accounts have increased our understanding of scientific theories. However, many influential theory accounts in Information Systems (IS) are influenced by the Received View of scientific theory (RV), which flourished in the philosophy of science around 1930-1969. The RV has been widely rejected in the philosophy of science, as the theory ignored much of the actual scientific context, and it mischaracterized several important characteristics of scientific research and theories. Although RV ideas were crafted for philosophers’ philosophical purposes, and not for scientists’ use, several IS scholars seem to believe that some of the RV theses represent actual (good or strong) scientifi…
The reconstruction of Gibellina after the 1968 Belice earthquake
2016
On 15 January 1968 a catastrophic earthquake struck the Belice Valley. In some cases in the reconstruction plans it was decided to abandon the old settlements and to build new ones in different places. Among these centers Gibellina was the most damaged and the town was built away from the old settlement in an area within Salemi, where the highway and the railroad converged, in an attempt to take away the new center from the isolation in which it had lived for centuries. For the reconstruction of the town a development plan was drawn up by the Institute for Social Housing Development (ISES). This Institute was assigned the task to elaborate the general plan, designed in an extensive urban mo…
Clinical assessment and comparison of ACL reconstruction using synthetic graft (Neoligaments versus FiberTape).
2021
Background Due to the low potential for primary biological healing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the most popular approach is currently reconstruction using a graft. Recent research indicates that the technique of strengthening a damaged ligament with synthetic tapes (internal bracing) may be an alternative to reconstructive treatment, especially in cases of partial ACL damage. Objectives To compare and evaluate the possibility of using a synthetic graft (Neoligaments or FiberTape) to treat partial lesions of the ACL. Material and methods This was a retrospective cohort study. Selected from a pool of 128 patients undergoing primary unilateral intra-articular ACL reconstruction du…
Mariano Benlliure Gil, artífice de la recuperación del patrimonio escultórico para la Cofradía California de Cartagena
2020
After the patrimonial destruction that took place during the Civil War of 1936-1939 in the city of Cartagena, religious art and especially sacred sculpture, is greatly affected. The artistic expressions that the Passionist entities took to the streets on the days of Holy Week, disappear almost in their entirety, having to start a tremendously costly reconstruction process in order to alleviate the losses suffered. The Cofradía California commissioned the renovation of its sculptural patrimony heritage, which came to replace the wealth of the works of Salzillo, to the Valencian artist Mariano Benlliure Gil. All this process is the one studied in this article, keeping in mind the different bi…
Creative reconstructions of poitical imagery in an Instagram-based election campaign: Implications for visual rhetorical literacy
2021
This article reviews literature on visual rhetoric in political campaigning and synthesizes several strands of current research devoted to the rhetorical potential of communicating with visuals in online environments. It uses rhetorical concepts of identification and manoeuvring, as well as the category of topos, to discuss the implications of an abductive analysis of a coded corpus of 1976 Instagram images posted during 2019 election to the European Parliament campaign in Poland. On this basis, the article offers recommendations related to the awareness of topoi in visual rhetoric to foster users’ creative inventory. In the context of increasingly strategically designed and creative online…
Palazzo Lanza dei Principi di Deliella. Dai disegni di archivio di Ernesto Basile alla ricostruzione virtuale
2022
Il contributo indaga il progetto di Ernesto Basile, mai realizzato, per Palazzo Lanza dei principi di Deliella a Palermo, attraverso lo studio dei disegni originali (1895-1897). Questi consistono in 15 documenti grafici che raccolgono 5 piante, 6 prospetti e 4 viste prospettiche, che rappresentano quattro versioni di progetto con diverse soluzioni, di ognuna delle quali è possibile reperire una documentazione frammentaria e incompleta, riconducibile a tempi ideativi differenti. Il contributo ripercorre, mediante il ridisegno, il percorso compiuto da Basile per giungere dalla prima all’ultima versione, raccontando graficamente l’evoluzione della pianta dell’edificio che, dall’impianto simmet…
La chiesa e il convento di San Domenico a Cagliari nel XVI secolo.
Questa ricerca riguarda il convento di San Domenico a Cagliari e la riforma della fabbrica attuata nel corso del Cinquecento. Fondato nel borgo di Villanova nel versante est del castello di Cagliari nella seconda metà del XIII secolo, il convento di San Domenico raggiunse la sua massima espansione a partire dagli anni sessanta del XVI secolo, in seguito probabilmente all’introduzione nel convento della riforma domenicana. Le riforme spirituali e materiali del convento fecero parte di più vasto movimento di rinnovamento che coinvolse su larga scala il panorama sardo nel secondo Cinquecento, dovuto a molteplici fattori tra cui il riformismo monarchico di Filippo II e le riforme religiose avvi…
Il Teatro Nord e le mura proto-bizantine di Hierapolis di Frigia. Dall'indagine topografica alla ricostruzione 2D e 3D
2012
Il Teatro Nord e la cinta muraria proto-bizantina di Hierapolis di Frigia (Pamukkale, Denizli, Turchia sud-occidentale) sono stati a lungo trascurati dalle attività di ricerca della Missione Archeologica Italiana, concentrata su monumenti meglio conservati e con un apparato architettonico e scultoreo più rilevante. Solo dal 2008 essi sono stati oggetto di indagini sistematiche da parte dei ricercatori del Laboratorio di Topografia Antica, Archeologia e Telerilevamento dell'Istituto per i Beni Archeologici e Monumentali del CNR (Lecce). Lo studio di dettaglio dei resti conservati, realizzato integrando rilievo topografico, prospezioni geofisiche ed indagini geologiche, ha permesso di definir…
