Giuseppe Samonà e la “spina dorsale” di Gibellina Nuova
2020
Nel 1970 Giuseppe Samonà coordina il gruppo di progettazione formato da Vittorio Gregotti, Gianni Pirrone e Alberto Samonà per il Progetto del Centro civico, commerciale e culturale di Gibellina Nuova. Del piano è realizzato il municipio e poi, rielaborato e in altro luogo, il teatro. I monumenti, fondati su un asse pedonale in quota connesso a un suolo artificiale articolato, esprimono l’unità architettura – urbanistica e anticipano, per certi versi, una riflessione successiva del Direttore dello IUAV sulla dialettica fra urbano e rurale.
Future memorie. L’ex ospedale psichiatrico di Palermo. Future memories. The former psychiatric hospital in Palermo
2017
La memoria dell’ex manicomio di Palermo ha un futuro. Il riuso del complesso può svelare alla comunità urbana vicende quotidiane di chi fu chiamato “pazzo”, monumenti, paradisi ipogei, altre tracce storiche e una nuova permeabilità dei percorsi cittadini. Il progetto per il Palazzo della Vignicella, elaborato, fra altri, in una ricerca PRIN, più che una risposta è un’esplorazione delle potenzialità dell’opera e un contributo alla conoscenza dei principi architettonici a questa sottesi. The memory of the former asylum in Palermo has a future. The reuse of the complex can reveal to the urban community the everyday life of who was called "mad" but also of the monuments, underground paradises, …
Oradour-sur-Glane and the Memorial Museum: A Site of Reconciliation
2013
When a community has a suffering memory, within the memory-oblivion mechanisms characterizing every form of social stability, the interventions of musealization of a specific landscape can usefully contribute to the “trauma elaboration” process, being the only helpful expedients to turn the painful events that the community is not able to cope with into a “shared commemoration”. However, based on the experience from the Charles de Gaulle Memorial in Colombey, the museal interpretation can determine a touristic earning power which can often overwhelm the more expected “duty of memory”. Every new museal insertion, being a place fit for the building of the community mind, has in fact to fulfil…
New digital instruments for the community building in housing cooperatives
2019
The research starts from a study carried out for Confcooperative Habitat, which focused on the systematic analysis of the materials produced for the launch of a new season of the cooperative movement. The goal is to improve the active action on communities for a tangible social impact able to propose a model that knows how to enhance the common urban spaces within the interventions. Finding the new needs and the new processes that characterize living, outlined also in their condominium and urban dimension of ‘common good’, therefore of ‘common housing’. The procedural model proposed and modulated in an evolved platform, seeks to multiply the common practices of living in the city and live i…
7th Winter School on “Research Methodology in social sciences, urban studies and spatial planning”. Università degli Studi di Firenze, gennaio 2020
2020
Winter Schools are intensive in-depths programs, platforms of knowledge, cultural exchange and network opportunities. The 7th Winter School on Research Methodology in social sciences, urban studies, and spatial planning offered Ph.D students and young academics the opportunity to have a deep insight into research methods, career, and academic job market. The event was organized by the Department of Architecture of the University of Florence (DiDA) and hosted in Complesso Le Murate from 29th to 31st January 2020. The Winter School, such as its previous editions, has a specific focus on pre-methodological and methodological questions. During the three-day scheduled program, each participant h…
A Remuneration Model of Energy Community Members in Italy
2022
The Directive (EU) 2018/2001 (RED II) requires Member States to authorize the constitution of consumers as self-consumers of renewable electricity by ensuring them non-discriminatory and disproportionate treatment. Member States must establish a favorable framework for promoting and facilitating the development of self-consumption, including in collective form (art. 21). According to the Directive, the granting of rights to renewable energy self-consumers who act collectively allows to increase the energy efficiency of households and helps to combat energy poverty by reducing consumption and supply tariffs. In Italy, the decree n. 162/2019 and then amended with Decree 199/2021 has partially…

A tool to support the creation of datasets of tampered videos
2015
Digital Video Forensics is getting a growing interest from the Multimedia research community, as the need for methods to validate the authenticity of a video content is increasing with the number of videos freely available to the digital users. Unlike Digital Image Forensics, to our knowledge, there are not standard datasets to test video forgery detection techniques. In this paper we present a new tool to support the users in creating datasets of tampered videos. We furthermore present our own dataset and we discuss some remarks about how to create forgeries difficult to be detected by an observer, to the naked eye.
A Simulation Framework for Evaluating Distributed Reputation Management Systems
2016
In distributed environments, where interactions involve unknown entities, intelligent techniques for estimating agents’ reputation are required. Reputation Management Systems (RMSs) aim to detect malicious behaviors that may affect the integrity of the virtual community. However, these systems are highly dependent of the application domain they address; hence the evaluation of different RMSs in terms of correctness and resistance to security attacks is frequently a tricky task. In this work we present a simulation framework to support researchers in the assessment of a RMS. The simulator is organized in two logic layers where network nodes are mapped to system processes that implement the i…
Real-time detection of twitter social events from the user's perspective
2015
Over the last 40 years, automatic solutions to analyze text documents collection have been one of the most attractive challenges in the field of information retrieval. More recently, the focus has moved towards dynamic, distributed environments, where documents are continuously created by the users of a virtual community, i.e., the social network. In the case of Twitter, such documents, called tweets, are usually related to events which involve many people in different parts of the world. In this work we present a system for real-time Twitter data analysis which allows to follow a generic event from the user's point of view. The topic detection algorithm we propose is an improved version of…
