La fabbrica del complesso ecclesiastico degli Olivetani
2019
Memorabile è la storia di questo monastero e della sua chiesa sia per i molti avvenimenti nella sua fondazione, sia per le varie mutazioni avvenute negli anni e nei secoli seguenti. I lavori iniziarono nel 1509, approvati con bolla pontificia di Papa Giulio II. Il complesso monumentale di Santa Maria dello Spasimo sorge nel cuore del Mandamento dei Tribunali, nel quartiere della Kalsa, ai bordi di quella che fu la cittadella araba (al-Halisah), per l’impegno di Jacopo Basilicò, che volle rispettare le volontà testamentarie della moglie di edificare una chiesa dedicata alla Madonna Addolorata. Il Basilicò per celebrarla degnamente, commissiona al grande Raffaello da Urbino, un dipinto raffig…
A Networking Framework for Multi-Robot Coordination
2008
Autonomous robots operating in real environments need to be able to interact with a dynamic world populated with objects, people, and, in general, other agents. The current generation of autonomous robots, such as the ASIMO robot by Honda or the QRIO by Sony, has showed impressive performances in mechanics and control of movements; moreover, recent literature reports encouraging results about the capability of such robots of representing themselves with respect to a dynamic external world, of planning future actions and of evaluating resulting situations in order to make new plans. However, when multiple robots are supposed to operate together, coordination and communication issues arise; w…
La forza del mito
2013
Il mito classico costituisce un’importante presenza nel teatro musicale del Novecento. Il confronto de “L’amore di Galatea”, mito in tre atti di Salvatore Quasimodo per la musica di Michele Lizzi, con il “Capitano Ulisse” commedia di Alberto Savinio e con l’ “Ulisse”, opera in tre atti di Luigi Dallapiccola, tre lavori teatrali molto diversi tra loro che rielaborano diversamenteno il mito più diffuso della nostra cultura, viene utilizzato per esplorare i confini del rapporto tra musica e mito nei termini posti da Claude Lévi-Strauss e per verificarne, contro l’opinione dello stesso, la resistenza agli stravolgimenti linguistici delle avanguardie.
Il tragico senza catarsi: compagno segreto dei poeti del Novecento
2014
The progressive decline of tragedy, as a literary genre, linked to the downfall of a philosophical framework of absolute values (both religious and not), activated a deep reflection about the origin and meaning of tragic. The collapse of the so-called “grande stile” produced expressive forms that rethought the agonistic tension, typical of the tragedy, towards an aesthetic of distance, away from the present, from Leopardi to Pasolini. This paper argues that, through 20th century, poetry has actually borne the functions of tragic, with a new significance. As an outsider, the poet develops critical gaze and negative thinking; he uses a metaphorical, non-mimetical language, able to challenge t…
Late Carboniferous (Kasimovian) closure of the South Tianshan Ocean: No Triassic subduction
2019
Abstract The proposed Triassic age of oceanic subduction and high-pressure/low-temperature (HP-LT) metamorphism in the South Tianshan orogen (STS) of the southwestern Central Asian Orogenic Belt needs to be re-examined on the basis of field relationship and precise age dating. Our biostratigraphic study in the Atbashi Range of southern Kyrgyzstan indicates that sedimentary strata unconformably overlie the HP-LT metamorphic rocks within the Turkestan suture zone and have a late Kasimovian (ca. 305 Ma) age. This constrains the minimum age of eclogite metamorphism in the HP-LT metamorphic complex. A Late Pennsylvanian to early Permian (Asselian) hinterland basin overlaps the margins of the Mid…
