Aggiunte al catalogo di Bonaventura Caruso, sacerdote e orafo messinese della seconda metà del ‘700
2011
Il nome di Bonaventura Caruso, sacerdote e orafo messinese, compare per la prima volta intorno agli anni '70 del XVIII secolo. L'autore, attraverso lo studio delle fonti e grazie a un'accurata analisi stilistica, propone l'identificazione e l'attribuzione a Caruso di un gruppo di opere di argenteria sacra prodotta a Messina oggi nei tesori delle Chiese Madri di Geraci Siculo e Mistretta, tutte caratterizzate dalla presenza di forme e motivi decorativi rococò, ma già tendenti al neoclassicismo. The name of Bonaventura Caruso, a priest and goldsmith from Messina, first appears around the 1870s. The author, through the study of sources and thanks to careful stylistic analysis, proposes the ide…
"...Lo quale pittore si domanda Sipione Cartaro Gaitano...". Scipione Pulzone, i Colonna e novità sulla committenza per le chiese cappuccine di Sicil…
2013
Grazie all’individuazione di alcuni documenti nell'ambito di una ricerca svolta presso l’Archivio Colonna di Subiaco, si sono potute ricostruire le vicende riguardanti la committenza di alcune opere di Scipione Pulzone da Gaeta, destinate a chiese cappuccine siciliane, da parte di membri della stessa famiglia Colonna. Thanks to the identification of a number of documents in the Colonna Archive in Subiaco, it was possible to reconstruct the events surrounding the commissioning of several works by Scipione Pulzone from Gaeta, destined for Capuchin churches in Sicily, by members of the Colonna family itself.
Benthic foraminiferal response to trace element pollution. The case study of the Gulf of Milazzo, NE Sicily (Central Mediterranean Sea).
2013
The response of benthic foraminiferal assemblages to trace element pollution in the marine sediments of the Gulf of Milazzo (north-eastern Sicily) was investigated. Since the 1960s, this coastal area has been a preferred site for the development of two small marinas and a commercial harbour as well as for heavy industry. Forty samples collected in the uppermost 3-4 cm of an undisturbed layer of sediment in the littoral environment were used for this benthic foraminiferal analysis. The enrichment factors (EFs) of selected trace elements (As, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) were also calculated. Changes both in benthic foraminiferal assemblages and in some trace elements concentrations have pr…
Le scale a chiocciola nel duomo di Milazzo
2013
Il duomo antico di Milazzo, ubicato all’interno della cittadella fortificata, accoglie nello spessore murario del vano retrostante una delle absidi una scala a chiocciola del tipo a caracol de Mallorca; il suo vuoto centrale è delimitato da un cordone cilindrico, mentre la superficie elicoidale inferiore è sottolineata da una modanatura posta nella mezzeria.
Composition, distribution, and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments of the gulf of Milazzo (Mediterranean Sea, Italy)
2014
This article describes the characterization of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments of Milazzo Gulf (Italy) located in front of an oil refinery and a power plant. The investigated area is characterized by urban and industrial activities. The sixteen PAHs identified by the USEPA, as requiring priority monitoring, and other non USEPA listed PAHs, namely perylene and some methyl derivatives, were investigated The total PAHs concentrations, expressed as ∑ 19 PAH ranges from 5.6–7402 μg/Kg d.w., with a mean value of 492 μg/Kg d.w. The concentrations of PAHs found in 64 out of 67 samples were lower than the effect range low (ERL = 2460 μg/Kg) concentration, while the remaining sam…
Granulometry, mineralogy and trace elements of marine sediments from the Gulf of Milazzo (NE Sicily): evaluation of anthropogenic impact
2010
Granulometry, mineralogy, and trace element concentrations are determined in marine sediments from thirty-six sampling sites in the littoral environment of the Gulf of Milazzo (NE Sicily). Sediment samples were collected in August 2008, along 18 seaward transects, at water depths of ‐10, ‐20 and ‐30 m, by using a Van Veen grab. Grain-size analysis shows predominance of sand (56%) and silt (35%) fractions with respect to clay (7%) and gravel (2%) fractions. Bulk mineralogical analysis documents the presence of quartz, micas, feldspars, calcite, and chlorite, which reflect erosion processes affecting the Kabilian-Calabrian Units. Concentrations of most trace elements in the deeper sediments w…
