Terremoto e architettura storica. Palermo e il sisma del 1726.
2015
On September 1st 1726 Palermo was hit by a violent earthquake. Although it did not bring about the destruction of the city, the earthquake caused widespread and extensive damage to the architectural heritage. The local insti- tutions carried out a series of actions involving representatives of the technical culture. These actions affected the subsequent appearance of the urban pattern and influenced the construction methods of the time. Crossing the data taken from chronicles of the time, from maps produced after the earthquake and above all copious archival documents, the research aims to reconstruct the state in which Palermo was after that tragic event, highlighting a number of aspects. …
Dialog Kościoła katolickiego z niewierzącymi
2019
Artykuł podejmuje aktualny temat potrzeby dialogu z osobami niewierzącymi. Dialog to rozmowa co najmniej dwóch osób, może on być rozumiany jako metoda, proces i postawa społeczna. Dialog ekumeniczny obejmuje obszary, na których nie ma do końca zgody między rozmówcami, domaga się szacunku i umiejętności słuchania argumentów drugiej strony. Współcześnie rośnie zjawisko niewiary, zwłaszcza wśród młodych, stąd potrzeba poszukiwania form spotkań i dialogu ze współczesnym środowiskiem zsekularyzowanym. Kościół powszechny podejmuje różne próby dialogu z niewierzącymi: od propozycji inicjowanych przez oficjalne dokumenty Magisterium, poprzez inicjatywy lokalnych wspólnot i Kościołów, np. „katedra (…

In the Norman hunting park dominating the Conca d'Oro, in the second half of the XII century the monumental complex of Monreale began as a rational unitary body, consisting of the royal palace, the Duomo and the Benedictine convent which, from 1176, housed hundred Cluniac monks of Cava de 'Tirreni, called here by King William II; a wall, originally equipped with twelve towers, protected the religious community from possible external attacks. The goal of the founder was the creation of a strong instrument for the Christianization of western Sicily - still predominantly Muslim -, and at the same time of a prestigious dynastic mausoleum, in the explicit intent to rival all previous sacred impe…
The preservation of the Agrigento Cathedral
2013
The Agrigento Cathedral was built about nine centuries ago on the edge of a steep slope made up of alternating inclined layers of soft calcarenites and fine-grained soils; its behaviour has never been satisfactory especially as far as the North aisle is concerned. Many corrective measures have been attempted during its lifespan and also a few years ago. They proved invariably unsuccessful. Recent geotechnical investigations, referred to in the paper, permitted to find out that the main cause of the Cathedral distress is a sliding mechanism involving the upper zone of the slope underlying the North aisle; consequently the essential requirement for the preservation of the Cathedral is the sta…
New Insight on Medieval Painting in Sicily: The Virgin Hodegetria Panel in Monreale Cathedral (Palermo, Italy)
2023
: The Virgin Hodegetria, located in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Nuova in Monreale, near Palermo (Italy), probably dating the first half of the 13th century, is one of the earliest examples of medieval panel painting in Sicily. A diagnostic campaign was carried out on the panel aiming to identify the constituting materials and the executive technique, as well as to assess the state of conservation for supporting the methodological choice of the restoration intervention. Both non invasive (X-ray radiography, digital microscope, multispectral imaging, ED-X-ray fluorescence) and micro-invasive (polarised light microscopy, ESEM-EDX, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy) analyses w…
