Note sulle arti decorative a Malta. Inediti argenti siciliani di inizio XIX secolo.
2015
L’articolo si occupa di preziosi e inediti argenti siciliani di inizio Ottocento (ante 1826/1829), tra Rococò e Neoclassicismo, che si trovano a Malta. La maggior parte di essi recano il marchio consolare della città di Catania e sono stati realizzati negli anni 1810-1812. The article deals with precious and unpublished Sicilian silverware of the early nineteenth century (ante 1826/1829), between Rococo and Neoclassicism, that are located in Malta. Most of them bear the consular city mark of Catania and were made in the years 1810-1812.
Awareness and knowledge of cyberethics : a study of pre-service teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain
2021
This paper explores the awareness and knowledge of cyberethics held by pre-service teachers across three European countries. The study was conducted via an online survey and yielded 1,131 responses from pre-service teachers in Malta, Norway, and Spain. The facets of cyberethics included in this study focused on behaving responsibly online, safeguarding privacy, respecting copyright, seeking consent of friends before posting images or videos on social media platforms, and considering their professional identity as future teachers when posting online. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers reported relatively similar levels of competence in applying copyright and respecting privacy r…
Note sulla stereotomia tra Sicilia sud-orientale e Malta nel secondo Settecento
2013
L'architettura della Sicilia sud orientale e quella di Malta hanno goduto per secoli di un continuo interscambio di maestranze e di esperienze professionali. Le strette affinità tra i materiali lapidei da costruzione locali hanno reso ancora più stringente il confronto, permettendo significativi avanzamenti nelle pratiche stereotomiche. Tra le molteplici stagioni che meritano approfondimenti specifici, la fase finale del XVIII secolo appare particolarmente intrigante. Il ruolo di un architetto con una formazione internazionale come Stefano Ittar non va limitato al rinnovamento linguistico, ma apre il campo anche una all'applicazione di temi di stereotomia moderna che sembrano presupporre la…
Fra Tardogotico e Rinascimento: la Sicilia sud-orientale e Malta
2008
Questo contributo traccia un quadro d’insieme dell’architettura prodotta in Sicilia sud orientale e a Malta tra 1450 e 1550, ponendo in evidenza le tante sfaccettature e la vitalità di un gotico moderno, che genera una forte resistenza alla piena accettazione del classicismo e una prolungata persistenza di riferimenti al mondo iberico (soprattutto le regioni orientali), nel caso di Malta, filtrati spesso dal contesto siracusano. Il linguaggio classicista, in realtà, esordisce in commissioni artistiche già negli ultimi decenni del XV secolo. In Sicilia sud orientale approda rapidamente anche in architettura, attraverso l’opera di scultori chiamati a realizzare elementi architettonici, ma sol…
WebGIS Implementation for Dynamic Mapping and Visualization of Coastal Geospatial Data: A Case Study of BESS Project
2021
Within an E.U.-funded project, BESS (Pocket Beach Management and Remote Surveillance System), the notion of a geographic information system is an indispensable tool for managing the dynamics of georeferenced data and information for any form of territorial planning. This notion was further explored with the creation of a WebGIS portal that will allow local and regional stakeholders/authorities obtain an easy remote access tool to monitor the status of pocket beaches (PB) in the Maltese Archipelago and Sicily. In this paper, we provide a methodological approach for the implementation of a WebGIS necessary for very detailed dynamic mapping and visualization of geospatial coastal data
Chemical fingerprint of outdoor PM2.5 in Malta
2015
Intro: RESPIRA (EU Funded - Italia-Malta 07-13) indicated that living in Malta is a risk factor for asthma. Aim: To determine the chemical profile of PM2.5 in Malta, and compare with reference values. Methods: Using FAI pumps at 10l/min/48hr, samples were collected on Teflon and Quartz filters from 6 schools and 46 homes in Malta. Total ICP-MS measurement (Residual+extracted), X ray Fluorescence, and thermo-optical methods(TO) were used for analysis by CNR in Rome. Aeroqual IQM60 counters were used for total PM2.5 mass. All data in ng/m3, Mean, (1st to 3rd quartile) of all 48 hour measurements.
Mediterranean waterfront Atlas: a tool for knowledge and decison-making
2012
The evolution of coastal urban and peri-urban areas between Malta and Sicily are the subject of extensive study that aims to build new tools and new approaches to planning in coastal areas. The project Italy-Malta WATERFRONT (of which the writer is a collaborator in the research activities for University of Palermo) adopts the logical and functional structure of the Atlas as a tool for understanding, interpretation, planning and monitoring of the transformations of four sample areas identified along the coastal border of Sicily and Malta. The Atlas aims to identify whether the Mediterranean territories under study require specific planning tools and, therefore, directs the decision-making p…
Waterfronts between Sicily and Malta: an integrated and creative planning approach
2012
In current global crisis, with the world’s GDPs dropping, the strong flows of financial, social and relational capitals that powered urban regeneration over the last fifteen years are no longer available to be tapped in an indiscriminate manner. Revitalising waterfront is no longer easy opportunity for long-term investments or for using the financial capital gains of hedge funds or sovereign funds, but a more creative port city has to provide precious opportunities for real development that is able to produce effects in both the domain of quality of public spaces and that of economic development. In this scenario acts an international cooperation project between Italy and Malta about waterf…

Masonry Sail Vaults in Maltese Architecture: Geometrical Analysis for the Study of Building Processes
2023
This research concerns the introduction and dissemination of masonry sail vaults in Malta between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. A digital survey is produced to capture a reality-based 3D model, undertake analysis, and compare case studies with the aim of interpreting the sail vaults' construction systems.
