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…

Piccole meraviglie in alabastro, avorio e corallo: nuove aggiunte alle arti decorative siciliane a Malta
2017
L’articolo tratta di alcune inedite opere d’arte decorativa in alabastro, avorio e corallo di collezione privata maltese che, per motivi sia tecnici che stilistico-compositivi, possono riconoscersi come manufatti trapanesi del XVIII secolo. The article deals with some unpublished alabaster, ivory and coral decorative arts kept in a Maltese private collection that, for technical and stylistic-compositional reasons, can be recognized as 18th century artifacts from Trapani.
Il “ciclo vitale” di un’élite cittadina: il patriziato di Messina in età moderna
2009
Una forte mobilità sociale – con i suoi processi di rimescolamento e rinnovamento – caratterizza la storia della Sicilia moderna, con alcune fasi di particolare accelerazione: nei decenni tra fine ’500 e inizio ’600, durante i quali come «mai forse nella storia dell’isola la nobiltà [feudale] si acquistò con tanta facilità» (Cancila); e in quelli a cavallo del 1700, “alba” di quei “gattopardi” (Gallo), che avrebbero dominato la scena politica negli anni difficili di dominazioni straniere brevi e precarie. Lo dimostrano, tra i tanti, due fenomeni che coinvolgono dalla base al vertice tutta la piramide sociale dell’isola: la vivacità del mercato dei titoli e degli onori (don, nobile, regio ca…

Making bishops in the Malta of the knights (1530-1798). An international game of parties, patronage and diplomacy
2011
Charles V’s donation of Malta to the Order of St. John in 1530 also established the procedure for appointment of the bishop of the island, whose episcopal seat since the time of the Norman conquest was subject to royal patronage, and thus to the King of Sicily’s right of presentation: the Grand Master would propose to the Spanish king, through the viceroy of Sicily, a ranking of three candidates, previously approved by the Council of the Order, belonging to the rank of convent chaplain and which contained at least one Sicilian. From that time until the expulsion of the knights from the island after the French occupation (1798), 15 bishops were chosen for the Maltese episcopal see. In these …
E. coli mikrobioloģiskais piesārņojums un riska novērtēšana maltā liellopu gaļā
2016
Escherichia coli ir zarnu traktā sastopama baktērija, kas ārpus tā var pieķerties virsmām, veidojot biofilmu, tādēļ jebkurā kaušanas – pārstrādes etapā var notikt gaļas kontaminācija. EK regula Nr. 2073/2005 norāda, ka E. coli izmanto kā fekālā piesārņojuma indikatoru, pielietojot analītisko metodi ISO 16649-2 β-glikuronidāzes pozitīvo E. coli skaita noteikšanai. Šajā darbā ir novērtēts E. coli piesārņojuma līmenis maltas liellopu gaļas produktos, novērtēta un salīdzināta skaita izmaiņa dabiskā un mākslīgā piesārņojumā, izmantojot izaicinājuma testu. Iegūtie rezultāti ir apmierinoši, jo E. coli skaits produktos, pēc EK regulas Nr. 2073/2005, nepārsniedz minimālo vērtību – 50 KVV/g. Izaicinā…
Sulla (s)fortuna critica di fra Innocenzo da Petralia Sottana e su un suo inedito Crocifisso
2021
Dopo una premessa sulla produzione scultore francescana in Italia, in particolare in Sicilia, si esamina la storiografia siciliana che, a partire dal XVII secolo, si è occupata della produzione dello scultore Innocenzo da Petralia Sottana (1602/03-1648 circa), frate laico dell’ordine dei Minori Riformati. L’artista, la cui figura è stata adombrata da quella del più noto frate Umile da Petralia Soprana, ha scolpito Crocifissi non solo in Sicilia, ma in altre regioni della penisola, dal Lazio all’Umbria alle Marche. Al nostro, su base documentaria, sono stati ricondotti due opere conservate a Malta. Frate Innocenzo, autore non solo di Crocifissi, ma anche di altri simulacri mariani e agiograf…
