Environmental effects of energy policy in sicily: The role of renewable energy
2007
The saving of primary energy from fossil fuels and the promotion of exploitation of renewable sources are two of the most relevant goals to be achieved in order to match the climate protection target fixed by the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. For Italy, the commitment is the reduction of the greenhouse emissions by 6.5% below 1990 levels over the commitment period 2008–2012. It requires the introduction of suitable political strategies and programmes aimed to establish a sustainable energy system together with the application of a set of actions either at national scale, either at regional one. This study presents the results of a survey in the context of the Regione Sicilia about the potential s…
Life Cycle Assessment and eco-design of building materials: the case study of a Sicilian cement plaster
2015
Buildings in the European Union (EU) account for the largest share of the total EU final energy consumption (42%), and greenhouse gas emissions (35%). Therefore, the reduction of energy use, the development of quality-oriented processes and the improvement of energy performance in the building sector are important measures needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the energy dependency of the European Union from foreign countries. In this context, it is necessary to develop sustainable building products, with low energy and environmental impacts during their life cycle, from the extraction of raw material to the manufacturing, use and end-of-life. The main goal of the study is to define…
A bottom-up method for evaluating the whole energy demand of large residential building stocks: an application to a regional scale
2013
In this paper a method is described, originally conceived during the compilation of the Energy and Environmental Regional Plan of Sicily, aimed to: a) set up a lay-out model of an overall regional residential estate into a certain number of different building and heating system types; b) calculate the energy needs of every single type according to the procedures established by the national and European regulations; The method is particularly designed to evaluate the possible energy savings from the implementation of different interventions concerning the envelope and the HVAC systems to the various building types. The method, although based on several assumptions, shows to be reliable enoug…
THE DEPOSIZIONE PAINTING FROM S. CATERINA MONASTERY IN PALERMO, ITALY: A TECHNICAL STUDY ON A ‘TRASPARENTE’ PAINTING
2022
The article analyzes the Deposizione painting of Giovanni Patricolo from S. Caterina monastery in Palermo, a painting realized by a particular technique of artistic representation attested in the 19th century: the ‘trasparente’ paintings, a specific kind of ephemeral apparatuses. The focus of this study is to shed light on the practical functions and the chronological path of this work of art, connecting it with the specific executive technique of the manufact. Furthermore, this research was a preliminary study aimed at designing an appropriate intervention for the restoration and conservation of the painting and a proper valorization of this artwork.
Il delitto di "caporalato" tra diritti minimi della persona e tutela del mercato del lavoro
2020
Il contributo analizza il reato di intermediazione illecita e sfruttamento lavorativo, offrendo un’analisi comparata con il sistema repressivo tedesco. Lo studio si sofferma, in particolare, sui limiti di legittimazione del diritto penale nella punizione dei fatti di “caporalato”, nel tentativo di scongiurare che l’intervento repressivo nelle dinamiche economiche e contrattuali, di natura sinallagmatica, possa assumere una portata tale da porsi in contrasto con il canone della sussidiarietà. A tal fine, si suggerisce una prospettiva ermeneutica che incentri il disvalore penale del reato di cui all’art. 603-bis c.p. sulla lesione dei diritti fondamentali del lavoratore – riconducibili agli a…
The liability of the shipmaster in early modern law: comparative (and practice-oriented) remarks
2017
This article deals with the liability of the shipmaster in early modern law in civil and common law, focusing on the approach of Italian and (to a lesser extent) also Iberian courts on the one hand, and on that of common law courts (mostly the King's Bench) on the other. The practice-oriented approach is deliberate: the article seeks to understand what the actual position of the carrier was, not how did learned jurists classify it. Once distinguished practice from dogmatic elaborations (especially for the civil law), this work then proceeds to compare the rules applicable in the two different legal systems. Common law courts imposed strict liability on the shipmaster, for it qualified the c…
«I molteplici casi della sorte». Disastri della guerra e della natura in Tucidide
2018
Il capitolo 23 del primo libro di Tucidide conclude il proemio e ricapitola gli elementi chiave della visione storiografica dello storico ateniese. Sopo aver connesso il primato della guerra alla sua durata e ad un impressionante elenco di sofferenze (pathemata) Tucidide aggiunge un secondo elenco di disastri naturali (terremoti, eclissi, la peste). Questo contributo si propone di indagare il rapporto tra le due serie di disastri nel quadro della più ampia visione tucididea sulla guerra e sulla condotta umana. Accostando ai pathemata l’elenco dei disastri naturali, lungi dal volere individuare nella straordinaria sovversione dell’ambiente naturale un effetto delle decisioni umane o un annun…
