A data association approach to detect and organize people in personal photo collections
2011
In this paper we present a method to automatically segment a photo sequence in groups containing the same persons. Many methods in literature accom- plish to this task by adopting clustering techniques. We model the problem as the search for probable associations between faces detected in subsequent photos con- sidering the mutual exclusivity constraint: a person can not be in a photo two times, nor two faces in the same photo can be assigned to the same group. Associations have been found considering face and clothing descriptions. In particular, a two level architecture has been adopted: at the first level, associations are computed within meaningful temporal windows (situations); at the …
Concurrent photo sequence organization
2012
Personal photo album organization is a highly demanding domain where advanced tools are required to manage large photo collections. In contrast to many previous works, that try to solve the problem of organizing a single user photo sequence, we present a new technique to account for the concurrent photo sequence organization problem, that is the problem of organizing multiple photo sequences taken during the same event. Given a set of sequences acquired at the same place during the same temporal window by several users using different cameras, our framework is intended to capture the evolution of the event and groups photos based on temporal proximity and visual content. The method automati…
L’exemplum del Dinomenide Gelone tra memoria civica e storiografica
2015
La storia della Sicilia greca è scandita, nei suoi momenti chiave, dalla persistente presenza dell’immagine del Dinomenide Gelone. Questo lavoro analizza le valenze paradigmatiche assunte dalla sua figura nella memoria civica siracusana e nella produzione storiografica; inoltre ricostruisce le dinamiche politiche che hanno spinto i principali tiranni siracusani (da Dionisio I a Ierone II) a stabilire un confronto con Gelone. Il suo exemplum è utilizzato per legittimare azioni politiche e impegno antipunico; particolare attenzione è posta alla Biblioteca storica di Diodoro Siculo e al ruolo che in essa assume la figura del Dinomenide; in relazione a questi aspetti l’opera dell’Agirinense sem…

Dimorare con le voci degli antichi. La biblioteca nel Malpiglio secondo di Torquato Tasso
2021
In the dialogue Il Malpiglio secondo overo del fuggir la moltitudine, Tasso stages the dialogue between Forestiero Napolitano and Giovanlorenzo Malpiglio, son of Vincenzo Malpiglio, a gentleman of the court of Ferrara. The dialogue focuses on the function of the oratories, poets and of philosophers. The library of the young Malpiglio, located at the highest point of the house, in the most central place of the city, in fact it is not only the emblematic space of the identity recognition of the courteous gentleman and of his erudite education; it becomes the space of an uninterrupted dialogue with the voices of the authors, with which the reader entertains himself, appreciating order and vagu…
La Storia nello specchio del presente
2020
The contribution focuses on the history of the Royal Institute of Geography of the University of Palermo, reconstituted as Chair of Geography of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy in the second post-war period by professor Piero Landini. The paper focuses on the cultural events recorded in its relevant library heritage, up to its transformation into the Geographical Section of the Department of Cultural Heritage, today the Department of Culture and Society. The events of the Geography in Palermo will be interpreted in the light of the profound epistemological transformations that have seen them protagonists of the fertile encounter with the anthropological disciplines culminating in the …
Tra bisogni individuali e fruizione collettiva. Spazi delle biblioteche e pratiche di lettura in una prospettiva diacronica
2021
Over the centuries, libraries have profoundly transformed their spaces, their physical appearance, their organization, but they have always remained faithful to their dual mission: a) to support lifelong learning and individual creativity, and b) to foster community development, that is, the growth of all social groups and age groups. The evolution of libraries has seen a steady acceleration especially since the mid-19th century, when the industrial processes of book production definitely expanded the availability and accessibility of content for a largest audience. The improved socio-economic conditions were best suited to the birth and development of public libraries, acting as democratic…

Les temps et le temps du Verbe dans Sido
1995
A travers les trois parties de Sido, le jeu sur le Temps (en particulier la structure non chronologique ou la juxtaposition immédiate du passé et du présent), produit des effets comparables et contribue à conférer à l'oeuvre son unité ; au contraire, les moyens linguistiques mis en oeuvre dans chaque chapitre, le choix de certains temps verbaux notamment, affirment des perceptions très différentes du passé : l'étude quantitative et comparative des temps employés permet ainsi de souligner l'hétérogénéité profonde de Sido.
