The coast of Altavilla Milicia east of Palermo. Story of a forgotten coastal landscape between illegal building, architectural-landscape emergencies …
2019
La costa che va da Bagheria a Cefalù è caratterizzata dalla presenza di numerose costruzioni abusive che, in tantissimi casi sorgono sulla stessa battigia in dispregio a qualsiasi norma urbanistica. Questo fenomeno invasivo, in parte anche prodotto da piani regolatori urbanistici non curanti dei valori paesaggistici fortemente presenti in questa area, ha avuto inizio dagli anni settanta del Novecento, con la ricerca di seconde case per la residenza stagionale soprattutto da parte degli abitanti di Palermo. Guardando tutto il Golfo di Termini Imerese che comprende la costa prima indicata, abbiamo modo di osservare come, immerse e soffocate dall’edilizia contemporanea, emergono resti di archi…
Study and restoration of a wooden Crucifix in the Monastery of S. Caterina D’Alessandria in Palermo, Italy
2022
This article presents the analyses and work on the iconographic subject related to a wooden crucifix of an unknown author from the S. Caterina monastery, from the first half of the 17th century. This study focuses on the stylistic comparison between this artefact and others crucifixes of the same historical period. Alongside, an in-depth description of its conservative history and restoration work on the artefact is reported

The castle's Hermitage of Yecla (Region of Murcia) constituted during the 13th to 16th centuries the first parish of the population, hosting a triptych-shaped altarpiece presided over by a tempera painting on wood of Our Lady of Humility or "Virgo Lactans", dated around 1370 and attributed to the painter Barnaba da Modena, which was the titular image of the mentioned temple under the title of Our Lady of the Incarnation, until at the end of the 18th century it changed ownership for the Conception of Our Lady. The table at averages of the eight hundred was placed in an a loft, appropriating it at the beginning of the 20th century by the retired military Pascual Spuche y Lacy, who sold it aro…
Created substrates do not fully mimic natural substrates in restoration: the occurrence of polypores on spruce logs
2014
Many protected areas have been under intensive forest management prior to protection and thus lack natural ecosystem structures and dynamics. Dead wood is a key structure in forests harboring hundreds of threatened species. We investigated the ecological success of dead wood creation as a boreal forest restoration measure. We analysed whether the polypore communities of chain-saw felled and girdled (subsequently fallen) Norway spruce ( (L.) H. Karst.) logs differ from naturally formed spruce logs of similar decay stage and size. The study was conducted in Leivonmäki National Park in central Finland 8 years after the restoration measures. The average number of polypore species was highest o…
Punteggiata di architettura fra il Tirreno e lo ionio
2013
L'interesse verso l’architettura e la struttura urbana di Messina si è avviato ormai da tempo, a partire dagli inizi degli anni Ottanta. In quel periodo si sono create le premesse per una serie di ricerche, studi e indagini progettuali che emergevano dalle questioni legate alla formazione della città dello Stretto dopo la ricostruzione avvenuta a seguito del terremoto del 1908. A partire dal 1983 questa attività di ricerca si è sviluppata lungo due fondamentali linee di lavoro: la prima, attraverso letture orientate e indagine sul campo; la seconda, con esplorazioni progettuali a scala urbana. Dotted line of architecture along Tyrrhenian and Ionian Coasts Since 1980, various researches, stu…

Old controversies and new data: assessing again the polychrome vases from Centuripe
2022
The necropolises of the hill town of Centuripe (EN) in Sicily have been looted since the nineteenth century for obtaining objects that were attractive for antiquities collectors, such as Hellenistic terracotta figurines and the brightly polychrome vases produced by local artisans (known as “Centuripe vases”) that today are scattered throughout a number of museums and private collections over the world. Until recent times, quite many vases have been considered doubtful and sometimes revealed as forgeries. Some “restorers” working in the dark circuit were able either to reproduce the shapes and decorations of ancient vases or to “refresh” their painted surfaces indeed: the interplay between g…
Fracture strenght and ribbond fibers: In vitro analysis of mod restorations
2023
Ribbond fibers are supposed to be a reinforcing material in restoration of compromised teeth. This study aims to compare MOD restorations with and without Ribbond Fiber in terms of fracture strength under axial loading; to identify the minimum depth of MO
Integrating facies and structural analyses with subsidence history in a Jurassic-Cretaceous intraplatform basin: Outcome for paleogeography of the Pa…
2016
Abstract We illustrate the tectono-sedimentary evolution of a Jurassic–Cretaceous intraplatform basin in a fold and thrust belt present setting (Cala Rossa basin). Detailed stratigraphy and facies analysis of Upper Triassic–Eocene successions outcropping in the Palermo Mts (NW Sicily), integrated with structural analysis, restoration and basin analysis, led to recognize and describe into the intraplatform basin the proximal and distal depositional areas respect to the bordered carbonate platform sectors. Carbonate platform was characterized by a rimmed reef growing with progradational trends towards the basin, as suggested by the several reworked shallow-water materials interlayered into th…
