Creative City 3.0: smart cities for the urban age
2012
In current financial, economical and political crisis, with the progressive downgrading of the States and the world’s GDPs dropping, the strong flows of financial, social and relational capital that powered urban regeneration over the last fifteen years are no longer available to be tapped in on in an indiscriminate manner as it seems was the case until just a few years ago. The most dynamic cities in the near future will no longer be those that are able to attract urban projects driven by the real estate market, or hedge funds, but the cities that have extensive cultural and identifying resources and that are able to use them as the basis for creating new culture and new urban value. Today…

Cous cous teaches that love never stops!
2022
La tradizione culinaria del cous cous, originaria dei paesi del Nord Africa e del Maghreb, sbarcata in Sicilia a seguito della dominazione araba e diffusasi grazie alle attività commerciali intraprese dai pescatori siciliani, ha conquistato la cucina regionale che ne ha inaugurato una variante originale: il cous cous di pesce. L’innesto tra culture gastronomiche differenti è stato lo spunto per l’avvio di una nuova tradizione culturale, il San Vito Cous Cous Fest, un evento gastronomico/culturale all’insegna dell’integrazione tra i popoli, della convivenza pacifica, dell’arricchimento reciproco e del cibo come nutrimento dell’anima. The culinary tradition of cous cous, original from the cou…
Gibellina City of Art
2018
The earthquake that hit Western Sicily in 1968 destroyed, among others, the town of Gibellina. Back then, the town was abandoned and a new city was built ex novo at a distance of eighteen kilometres from the original site. The ex novo foundation of a new city requires the interaction of two fundamental components: one characterised by a physical-formal nature, related to urban layout and architectural characterisations, and the other related to socio-cultural issues concerning the relationships between citizens and their city. If the rst component might be dealt with by means of theories and techniques from architectural and urban disciplines, how is it possible to deal with the even more i…

From Conservation to Revitalization. Ambiguous and Critical Conditions in the Heritage Conservation Experiences of Erice
2022
The plans and the evolutionary trends of policies and practices implemented in Erice old town, in the south of Italy, in the western part of Sicily, can be considered a case study of total conservation as highly representative of Italian urban planning of the last 60 years. This paper aims to deal with the actual problems and the perspective of sustainable development of the historical centre of Erice, by adopting the approach of urban and territorial regeneration. This paper also highlights the historical and cultural context in which the Gubbio Charter (issued in 1960) is affirmed; i.e. the most appropriate approaches to historical urban centres; what we can learn from Erice’s integral co…
Enhancing the Endogenous Potential of Agricultural Landscapes: Strategies and Projects for a Inland Rural Region of Sicily
2018
This paper focuses on the potential of the rural landscape of Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, taking into particular account the critical need to deal with the problem of depopulation of the small inner areas by leveraging the “integrated exploitation” of local resources. The rural landscape is considered to be capable of playing an essential role in many fields: ecology, production, culture and tourism. In this regard, guidelines are set by the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, the EU guidelines and the experience from Italy’s Rural Development Plans, the latter of which aim at achieving the much sought-after multi-functionality of agriculture. This …

DIGITAL MAPPING E GIUSTIZIA SOCIALE
2014
La rappresentazione del territorio ha molteplici significati ed è espressione di una particolare visione del luogo vissuto; coinvolge dunque il tema della partecipazione al processo di pianificazione. L’immagine urbana e gli strumenti attraverso i quali viene costruita sono alla base delle dinamiche di governo delle città e dei territori, e la complessità di tali meccanismi è amplificata dalla diffusione della tecnologia informatica applicata alla cartografia (GIS, webGIS) e da fenomeni di trasformazione sociale, economica e culturale (globalizzazione). Si rende dunque necessaria la costruzione di nuovi strumenti di rappresentazione adeguatamente inclusivi dei diversi punti di vista attrave…
