Le sculture lignee
2023
Il contributo indaga le sculture lignee ubicate nella chiesa di Santa Maria la Porta di Geraci Siculo. Si tratta di opere eseguite dal XVI al XVII secolo da scultori attestati non solo nel borgo madonita ma anche in altre realtà isolane. Ogni manufatto è collocato nella pertinente temperie culturale The contribution investigates the wooden sculptures located in the church of Santa Maria la Porta in Geraci Siculo. These are works performed from the 16th to the 17th century by sculptors attested not only in the Madonie village but also in other island realities. Each artifact is placed in the pertinent cultural climate
Limnological aspects of sicilian reservoirs: A comparative, ecosystemic approach
1999
This paper is a report on the state-of-the-art of reservoir limnology in Sicily, the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea. The territory is characterised by a semi-arid climate with a dry and a wet semester occurring in the year. Evaporative losses are strong during the summer and, on an annual basis, they often exceed precipitation. Thus, reservoirs constitute an important water resource for the island to supply drinking water and to provide for agricultural needs in the periods of drought. However, despite their importance, they receive poor attention from the scientific and political communities and in the absence of any environmental policy or suitable territorial planning, their wat…
Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil of Bupleurum Fontanesii (Apiaceae) Growing Wild in Sicily and its Activity on Microorganisms Affecting Hist…
2016
Hydrodistillation of the flowers (BpFl) of and fruits (BpFr) of Bupleurum fontanesii Guss. ex Caruel gave two oils that were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The main components were α-elemol (16.7%), caryophyllene oxide (16.4%) and heptacosane (15.9%) in BpFl, and spathulenol (16.8%), caryophylladienol I (13.2%) and α-elemol (12.8%) in BpFr. A good antimicrobial activity against several microorganisms, including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger, all infesting historical art craft, was also determined.

The essential oils of the flowers of Magydaris tomentosa (Desf.) DC. (Apiaceae) collected in Sicily (MSi) and Algeria (MAl), respectively, were obtained by hydrodistillation, and their compositions were analysed. The analyses allowed the identification and quantification of 23 components in MSi and 60 compounds in MAl, respectively, showing a very different profile in the composition of the two populations. The main components of MSi were cembrene (28.2%), α-springene (17.5%) and β-springene (14.8%), also present in MAl but in lesser amount (0.4%, 1.8% and 0.9%, respectively), whereas the principal constituents of MAl were (E)-nerolidol (35.4%), α-costol (13.3%) and β-costol (6.8%). Both MS…
ТРАПЕЗЫ ПРЕДКОВ. АГРАРНО-ХТОНИЧЕСКИЕ КОРНИ И ПОСТМОДЕРНИСТСКИЕ ПЕРЕОСМЫСЛЕНИЯ «СТОЛОВ СВЯТОГО ИОСИФА» НА СИЦИЛИИ
2019
Многие традиционные религиозные праздники на Сицилии несут в себе символизм, связанный с идеей плодородия растительности и человека, возвращения жизни и изобилия, и демонстрируют временную связь с производственными циклами основных сельскохозяйственных культур. Такие символические и временные связи особенно очевидны в случае трапез, устраиваемых по обету в праздник святого Иосифа (19 марта). Виды и форма блюд, приготовляемых по этому случаю, театрализованные элементы обрядов, сопровождающих священную трапезу, реальные и виртуальные участники этих обрядов (Святое Семейство, апостолы, так называемые вирджинедди , старички ) ясно отсылают к системе аграрнохтонических представлений, свойственны…
I MONUMENTI AI SOVRANI SPAGNOLI IN SICILIA NELLA SECONDA METÀ DEL SEICENTO: IL CASO DI FILIPPO IV A PALERMO E DI CARLO II A MESSINA
2018
I MONUMENTI AI SOVRANI SPAGNOLI IN SICILIA NELLA SECONDA METÀ DEL SEICENTO: IL CASO DI FILIPPO IV A PALERMO E DI CARLO II A MESSINA-Nella seconda metà del Settecento vennero eretti in Sicilia due grandiosi monumenti per celebrare gli ultimi re di Spagna della Casa d'Asburgo: il “teatro” di Filippo IV nel piano del palazzo Reale di Palermo (dal 1661) e il gruppo scultoreo con la statua equestre di Carlo II (dal 1680) nella piazza della cattedrale di Messina. I due monumenti rendevano omaggio in Sicilia, nei luoghi eletti simbolo del potere della corona spagnola, i trionfi di sovrani ancora in vita e secondo parametri compositivi articolati e meritevoli di attenzione. L’adozione di un reperto…
