Coperture in vetro come opportunità di rigenerazione urbana

2013

Often historic centers preserve archaeological finds unable to talk about themselves, appeared on the scene of the city, that can now live with the people without stopping it. The reading of the historical centers’ layers can regenerate the historic structure and reconstruct the identity of the places. The remains can be protected and shown to the public and the heritage protection can be part of an overall project with attention to the quality of life, creating opportunities for historical memory, enhancement and tourist attraction. In particular, in the last decades, the solutions using mainly glass to cover the finds have become more widespread. The aim of this article is to analyze some…

I ‘vasi di Centuripe’: per un approccio integrato

2017

Il contributo intende evidenziare le prospettive di un approccio interdisciplinare integrato allo studio della ceramica policroma “di Centuripe”. Dagli inizi del XX secolo, tale classe ha riscosso ampio apprezzamento per le sue delicate pitture e la ricchezza di ornamenti a rilievo applicati (dipinti e dorati) che abbelliscono i vasi, rendendoli pressoché inutilizzabili nella pratica per scopi funzionali, ma altamente efficaci come doni funerari in antico, e oggi come pezzi di grande impatto per commercianti di antichità e collezionisti moderni. Data la piaga, diffusa fino a tempi recenti, degli scavi clandestini, dei “restauri” arbitrari e delle falsificazioni, i vasi di Centuripe necessit…

Dioniso a Centuripe: iconografia ‘teatrale’ e imagerie dionisiaca in contesto funerario

2021

The purpose of the paper is to bring together and to assess some strands of the funerary imagery elaborated in Centuripe (Sicily) in 3rd-1st centuries B.C., that until recently have been viewed in total isolation from each other. Dionysian themes and motifs have been variously identified in the local polychrome pottery, since the discovery, early in 20th century, of two impressive vases representing Dionysos himself in a relaxed pose; as opposed to the prevailing “bacchic-orphic” explanation, however, from the second half of past century the nuptial theme was considered to be the most important of the Centuripan vase inventory; finally, some scholars have argued that the repertory was not s…

Ceramica da cucina dalla "Zona Mura" a Marsala. Le importazioni africane

2014

Object of this written are African cooking ware pieces found during the excavations of the so-called “Zona Mura” in the Archaeological Park of Marsala. Supported by the Soprintendenza BB.CC.AA. of Trapani, research in collaboration with the Universities of Hamburg and Palermo on the topic of “Lilybaeum Archaeological Project” are still in course of making. The stratified kitchen pottery considered was carried out nearby the fortifications’ north-west sector, which showed the remains of structures of Roman age that probably belong to some fortification walls and also to three insulae set in the southern part of the surveyed area. The dynamic pattern of relations between ceramics of different…

Ceramiche di età islamica provenienti da Castello della Pietra (Trapani)

2012

This paper presents the first results of the study on the medieval ceramic discovered during the diggings in the hilltop of Castello della Pietra (Trapani) in the years 1973-74. The research is still in progress. Materials were found within cavities reused as dumps and are exceptionally well preserved. Within the ceramic uncovered, there are fragments of tableware, storage vessels and amphorae. These wares were used by some of the people occupying the site between the second half of the 10th century and the 11th century. Links with Ifriqija are proved by the significant importation of glazed wares.

La chiave romana a testa di cane da Mevaniola

2013

Nel sito di Mevaniola, presso Galeata (FC), è stata ritrovata una grande chiave in ferro di età romana, dotata di un’impugnatura in bronzo e sagomata a testa di cane, che doveva servire per aprire la porta di uno dei maggiori edifici pubblici della città, probabilmente un tempio. L’analisi della sua decorazione lascia pensare che l’artefice si fosse ispirato a qualche importante modello scultoreo precedente e di scala maggiore, forse da ricercare nell’ambito della tradizione copistica di una celebre statua cultuale della fine del IV sec. a.C., il Serapide di Briasside.

Aspects typo-chronologiques et archéométriques de la céramique africaine sur le territoire de Cignana (Naro, AG, Sicile)

2017

Ce projet de recherche se fonde sur une étude typologique et archéométrique des matériaux d’époque romaine-impériale collectés pendant les prospections, surtout les céramiques africaines importées en Sicile entre la fin du Ier et le VIIe siècle apr. J.C. On ne va pas se concentrer sur une seule classe de céramique mais on va analyser globalement tous les objets manufacturés (amphores, sigillées, vaisselles culinaires, communes, lampes) en adoptant une approche diachronique correspondant à l’entière période de circulation de ces céramiques. L’objectif est de reconstruire les contacts économiques entre les deux provinces et individualiser l’origine des différentes productions. Nous allons ess…
