Territori Rurali Ri-attivati. Multifunzionalità, fruizione e impegno sociale attraverso l'esperienza della Cooperativa Sociale "Lavoro e Non Solo"
2012
Poster che sintetizza l'esperienza della Cooperativa Sociale "Lavoro e Non Solo", operante in aree agricole e su beni confiscati alla criminalità organizzata nei comuni siciliani di Corleone, Monreale, Canicattì, San Giuseppe Jato. Il caso si presta a rappresentare bene il concetto di multifunzionalità in agricoltura. È stato presentato durante il I Convegno nazionale della Società dei territorialisti/e, a Milano, in data 17 e 18 maggio 2013
Conservare per ricostruire. Il caso del Parco Archeologico e Paesaggistico di Agrigento
2021
L'evoluzione dell'idea di paesaggio ha prodotto una trasformazione dello stesso concetto che, da una sfera legata all'approccio estetico ha portato ad una accezione più complessa, richiamando quella della Convenzione Europea del Paesaggio, all'idea di una parte di territorio, come percepita dall'uomo, il cui carattere deriva dall'interazione di fattori naturali e umani. Le riflessioni presentate nel presente articolo sono fatte analizzando un paesaggio particolare, la Valle dei Templi di Agrigento. Esse portano a guardare al progetto, partendo da un'analisi profonda, con una nuova visione che guarda all'area archeologica non più come un singolo bene ma come un elemento di un sistema a rete …
Maredolce: l'invisibilità di un paesaggio reale. Geografie e memorie di un territorio
2015
La lunga storia del Castello di Maredolce racconta in maniera magistrale più di un millennio di storia del territorio di Palermo. Le cronache raccontano come Re Ruggero avviò la realizzazione del Parco Vecchio su quello già esistente del periodo arabo: la Favara. Il Parco Vecchio, intreccio tra cultura e natura, fu il primo pezzo di un paesaggio che nell’epoca normanna avrebbe circondato Palermo. Si proverà a leggere questa enorme area suburbana come paesaggio imperiale: un paesaggio rappresentazione del potere. Esso non simbolizza semplicemente delle relazioni di potere ma verrà letto come un processo attraverso il quale le identità soggettive e sociali si formano. Tuttavia questi segni di…
Manipulation of landscape as an Exercise of Unfair Power: the Case of Qalqiliya in the Occupied Palestine
Planning, as emphasized by planning theories, is supposed to contribute to the progress of mankind through always developing policies, regulations, methods, and concepts, to support the welfare of individuals and their communities. Therefore, themes such as ethic of planning and the issue of just city have been discussed intensively in planning theories and the main dominated question is: what is the good planning? Many planning theorists answer this question by addressing various types of planning such as collaborative, deliberative, radical planning and so on as good tools to achieve progress and prosperity. However, Palestine is a case where the contradiction between theory and practice …
PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY ON PRIVATE PROPERTY: AN EXPERIENCE IN CORLEONE (SICILY)
2017
Bona Furtuna is an organic farm located 8 km far from Corleone closed to Campofiorito (Palermo). The study area includes the slopes of Castro, Giardinello and Valle Fredda which goes up to Barraù Mt. included in the Special Areas of Conservation (ITA020037) according to the Natura 2000 European Birds and Habitat Directives. The high level of biodiversity is supported by over 502 taxa of vascular flora, 38 of which are endemic to Sicily. The study area is quite diversified from a bioclimatic point of view as well, presenting different gradients from the Lower Mesomediterranean (Upper dry) and the Lower Supramediterranean (Lower subhumid). The landscape has been shaped by frequent changes in …
Paths and Erratic Emotions of Natural and Cultural Landscapes: Mobility, Slow Fruition and Exploration of Economic Potentiality
2017
In recent years there is greater awareness of the need to match up the large amount of historical and environmental heritage of the Italian territory with the quality and concentration of cultural heritage and tourist services and put them into a network, through a new system of mobility. Urban and territorial policies should identify strategies and projects favoring the connections and use of sites, the perception of landscapes and the subjective emotions they arouse in the community. This interdisciplinary paper aims to rediscover the values and diversity of natural and cultural landscapes in Sicily by following slow routes immersed in valuable rural and urban areas. The proposed investig…
A 'gateway city' between landscape and cultural heritage
2015
The paper analyzes the achievable strategic role that the porto of Porto Empedocle (sinergy by Agrigento, its "city mother") could have. This marginal city, localized in the center of the African side of the Sicily, is far from European politics, but this situation could change. It's necessary to improve the sea routes and to activate the disused railway line from Porto Empedocle to Castelvetrano (near Trapani). This solution will help the accessibility of Agrigento and the development of the little coastal towns organized in a slow and sustainable network. Lo scritto analizza il possibile ruolo strategico che il porto di Porto Empedocle (in sinergica con la sua città-madre, Agrigento). Que…
Drought-induced positive feedback in xylophagous insects: Easier invasion of Scots pine leading to greater investment in immunity of emerging individ…
2012
Abstract We studied the infestation rate of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris by xylophagous insects in relation to distance from forest lakes in eastern Latvia, northern Europe. In summers of 2008 and 2009, we felled 72 pines of approximately 65 years age. Sections of the logs were incubated in insect emergence traps. The trees located near lakes were significantly less infested by xylophagous insects than those sampled at greater distances from the lakes. We also tested the ability of Tomicus piniperda , the most abundant species of xylophagous insects in our samples, to resist the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana . The results show that beetles captured near lakes were more susceptib…
Intra- and Trans-Generational Phenotypic Responses of the Greater Wax Moth, Galleria mellonella, to a Low-Nutrition Larval Diet
2020
We investigated the intra- and trans-generational effects of larval diet on immune function, body size and development time of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). We found that moths reared on a diet diluted with cellulose (a low-nutrition diet) were about one-third smaller, had about one-fifth longer development time and exhibited about 10% stronger encapsulation responses as compared with moths reared on the standard diet. The low-nutrition parental diet prolonged the development time of male offspring that were fed the low-nutrition diet by about 4% and the development time of female offspring that were fed the standard diet by about 1%. However, females t…
Conclusion. L’habitat de hauteur entre Protohistoire et haut Moyen Âge : pour une approche diachronique
2023
Au travers de ces quelques contributions, ce dossier entend proposer de nouvelles perspectives pour l’approche des occupations de hauteur, en prônant notamment une collaboration plus étroite entre spécialistes des âges des Métaux et de l’Antiquité tardive et du haut Moyen Âge. Cette coopération peut se traduire d’une part à l’échelle des sites, lorsque l’occasion se présente, d’autre part à l’échelle de territoires plus ou moins vastes afin de mettre en évidence l’existence de logiques spatia...
