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. …
Co‐occurrence patterns in a steppe bird community: insights into the role of dominance and competition
2023
Spatial co-occurrence patterns are determined by environmental factors, such as food availability or habitat characteristics and by biotic associations. When resources are limited, competition which implies a dominant hierarchy can shape species assemblage. Here, we study space and time co-occurrence of steppe passerines during the breeding season in a natural steppe habitat, its modulation by environmental filtering, potential biotic interactions and random processes. We applied the joint species distribution model of hierarchical modelling of species community (HMSC) to data on species presence–absence and environmental, temporal and spatial covariates acquired from seven plots in a natur…
Giuseppe Fanciulli maestro di letteratura per l’infanzia (1888-1951)
2022
Giuseppe Fanciulli can be considered a "deuteragonist" of children’s literature, since his literal and theatrical compositions have lost their importance over the years and only rarely were cited by his experts. The following contribution therefore intends to analyze the Fanciulli’s life and literary production, to reconstruct a complex and original literary itinerary, expression of creativity, of ingenuity and of a sincere love for the childhood, as well as manifestation of the desire to combine the literature with the education, accompanying the new generations towards a path of intellectual, ethical and moral growth.

Spatial analysis of lanner falcon habitat preferences: Implications for agro-ecosystems management at landscape scale and raptor conservation
2014
Abstract Sicily hosts the largest European population of the endangered lanner falcon, a poorly known species which needs conservation planning based on habitat preferences. A distribution model on 10 × 10 km cells of Sicily was described using Generalized Linear Models and variation partitioning methods. This modelling approach extracted explanatory factors, pure and joint effects of greatest influence from subsets of variables controlled for multi-collinearity and spatial autocorrelation. Analytical cartography used the environmental favourability function to assess habitat preferences, and the insecurity index estimated the degree to which lanner falcon occupancy is represented in the Na…
Detection of Parietaria Mottle Virus by RT-qPCR: An Emerging Virus Native of Mediterranean Area That Undermine Tomato and Pepper Production in Southe…
2021
Parietaria mottle virus (PMoV) is considered an emerging virus in many countries of the Mediterranean basin, especially on tomato and pepper crops. Symptoms on tomato leaves and fruits can be easily confused with those induced by cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) with necrogenic satellite RNA (CMV-satRNA), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) or tomato mosaic virus (ToMV). Mixed infection of these viruses has been also reported in some tomato cultivars, with an increase in the complexity of the symptoms and severity of the disease. Although a specific serum and riboprobes have been produced, nowadays no sensitive diagnostic methods are available for the rapid PMoV detection. Here, we have developed a…
Analisi della geometria idraulica dei rill mediante il data-base del WEPP
2016
Lo sviluppo iniziale dei rill può essere spiegato facendo ricorso alle caratteristiche idrauliche della corrente, quali la velocità media, il numero di Froude e la tensione tangenziale al fondo della corrente. Gli studi già condotti sull’idraulica dei rill hanno permesso di modellizzare la geometria idraulica dei solchi mediante un set di tre equazioni, di forma potenziale, che legano la velocità media u, il tirante medio h e la larghezza del solco w alla portata. L’obiettivo del presente lavoro è stato quello di verificare l’applicabilità delle suddette relazioni potenziali e determinare i relativi coefficienti facendo ricorso alle misure condotte su 33 siti sperimentali che costituiscono …
La estatua marmórea del duque de Lerma en el castillo de Dénia, obra de Giuseppe Carlone
2018
On the 28th of August of 1612, Juan Vivas de Canamas, the ambassador of king Philip III in Genoa, commissioned the Genoese sculptor Giuseppe Carlone to carve a large statue made of Polveracio white marble representing, according to the drawing attached to the contract, the figure of a knight. The portrait depicts none other than the Duke of Lerma, whose marble effigy was intended to preside in his castle and palace of the Valencian city of Denia and was installed there at the end of 1613. In this sense, the work is historically framed in the process of renovation of the castle that Lerma began at the end of the 16th century and that included the incorporation of this exclusive artistic comm…
