Sovittelun monet kasvot
2014
Pro gradu-tutkielmani arvioi lähisuhdeväkivallan sovitteluprosessia aiemman tutkimuksen sekä lähisuhdeväkivaltasovittelijoilta saatujen vastausten sisällönanalyysillä. Sovitteluprosessilla tarkoitetaan tässä työmenetelmää, jossa kaikki rikoksen osapuolet kokoontuvat ulkopuolisen sovittelijan tai muun koollekutsujan avulla keskustelemaan rikoksesta, sen seurauksista ja mitä sen johdosta pitäisi tehdä. Menetelmän tavoitteena on saattaa rikokseen eniten vaikuttavat asiat käsittelyyn ja siten pyrkiä myönteiseen konkreettiseen muutokseen. Sovittelun keskeinen ideologia on restoratiivisuus, eli konfliktin korjaava ratkaisuteoria. Tämä teoria on tavallaan sovittelun taustafilosofia, jossa huomion …
Research and Projects for the Recovery of the “Tifeo” Power Station in Augusta
2015
The buildings of the Tifeo Augusta Power Station (SR) significantly tell us, even today, the history of the Sicilian industrial dream at the end of the Fifties. However, with the passing of time, it revealed the underlying contradictions still present today in Augusta together with polluting and oppressive petrochemical plants built during those times. Regardless of any recovery theory about the Augusta Power Station, it is clear that an open and multidisciplinary look cannot be ignored, locating the power station in the actual and future setting of the vastest territory in which it is sited. The past, the present and, of course, the future of the Augusta area are tightly connected to the s…
Dalla didattica al progetto di restauro: la collaborazione fra istituzioni per conoscere, conservare, valorizzare e fruire il patrimonio storico arch…
2020
La volontà di rendere sempre più incisivo e professionalizzante l’insegnamento del Restauro nei corsi di laurea in Architettura ha mosso chi scrive alla volontà di stabilire, tramite una convenzione, un rapporto stabile con la Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali e Ambientali di Palermo, città in cui si opera, da attuare con i corsi di Laboratorio di Restauro dei Monumenti nel Corso di Laurea LM-4 in Architettura di Palermo o nella redazione di tesi di laurea. Attraverso l’esame dei due primi casi trattati congiuntamente (monastero di S. Caterina d’Alessandria, caserma dei Carabinieri Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa, nel complesso di S. Giacomo dei Militari) si delineano le opportunità e le criti…
Restauro. Concetti: orientamenti e tendenze attuali
2020
The essay is the introduction to the first topic of the Reuso20 conference, "Restoration: contemporary themes for a dialectical comparison". It contains stimulating interventions on the dialectics between Conservation and Accessibility, Conservation and Safety, in the context of religious buildings affected by an earthquake, between Conservation and Reuse, in the areas of churches, monasteries and castles, exemplified by concrete experiences conducted on different types of buildings, together with a reflection on the impact that tourism can induce on the protection of monuments, especially archaeological ones, in the name of 'enhancement'. These are in fact the central themes on which we ar…
New centrality in UNESCO buffer-zones: two Mediterranean case studies. Per una nuova centralità delle buffer-zones UNESCO: due casi studio nel Medite…
2022
The paper presents an interdisciplinary reflection on the potential for sustainable development of communities and their cultural landscapes expressed by UNESCO Buffer Zones in the Mediterranean, with the intention of transforming their widespread perception as mere tools of protection and urban planning into concrete integrated proposals for protection and enhancement, and also taking into account the role of museums in promoting the understanding of cultural heritage and the maturation of an awareness of the value of such actions. With reference to the 2004 guidelines UNESCO and starting from the evaluation of some management plans, such as that of the Arab-Norman itinerary in Palermo and…
A "best practice" for inclusive art cities: the case study of the I-Access project
2022
The essay aims to illustrate the results of the I-Access Interreg Italia Malta 2016-20 project, conducted by a partnership led by the Department of Architecture, University of Palermo, with the scientific coordination of Renata Prescia. The project involved the Vucciria district in Palermo and the Bijcceria district in Valletta. Within the range of products that have been created (including database, web platform, mobile apps, protocol), in this essay we want to illustrate the actions implemented to facilitate both physical and cultural accessibility, from the integrated points of view between restoration and exhibition design. They are actions for overcoming of architectural barriers, cult…
A comparative study of different formulations of poultices for soluble salts removal from experimental plasters
2017
Soluble salts extractive capability of some commercial materials currently used in plaster restoration sector (ArbocelTM plus sepiolite; ArbocelTM, sepiolite and sand; Westox-Cocoon®) were tested in the present study, with the aim to evaluate their efficiency, their compatibility with the substrates as well as in terms of costs and duration of intervention. The three poultice products were first characterized in terms of porosimetric distribution. The desalination tests have been performed on samples of plaster specially formulated and made at the laboratory. Experimental specimens were then brought into contact with a solution of Na2SO4 0.3 M. The efficiency rating of these different types…
The restoration of a painted stone work of art: study on altered protective layer

La chiesa di Santa Maria di Campogrosso ad Altavilla Milicia (Palermo), i ruderi di un monumento normanno tra abbandono, restauri e studi archeologici
2017
The church of Santa Maria di Campogrosso, long abandoned, is now a ruin. However, this church represents an important historical and architectural witness to the presence of “basiliani” monks in eastern Sicily, much less documented than the western Sicily’s one. Moreover, the story of this monument is linked to a very important episode, the Norman conquest of Sicily with the birth of the so-called "arabo-normanna" architecture. The essay describes the history of the church between abandonment, restoration and archaeological studies until the present.
Tree species influences diversity of ground-dwelling insects in afforested fields
2015
Abstract Impaired natural ecosystems, such as agricultural lands, are restored toward original or other target stage. Because the long agricultural history has changed the physical, chemical and biological features of the soil, afforested fields can harbor novel species assemblages and interactions. Our overall aim was to quantify the diversity of ground beetles and ants in early successional afforested fields. In a large scale field experiment, we compared plots that had been afforested 25 years ago by planting monocultures of birch, pine or spruce trees. A total of 4080 carabid individuals representing 41 species, and 131,933 ant individuals representing 15 species were recorded. Both the…
