GENESIS AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL EVOLUTION OF DEEP-SEATED GRAVITATIONAL SLOPE DEFORMATIONS: AN EXAMPLE OF DATING IN WESTERN SICILY

2010

The study area lies in the westernmost part of the Sicani Mountain range where a superposition of SE-trending, stacked, geological bodies crops out. this structure is the result of transpressive tectonic phases of Miocene and Lower Pliocene age. The neo-autochthon outcrops are made up of clay–marly deposits of the Middle–Upper Pliocene, and of calcarenites of Pleistocene age. The extensional Quaternary tectonic phases later dissected and dismembered the original structure, thus involving the calcarenites that show clear, mainly NE–SW oriented dislocations. Such calcarenites, which have a total thickness of about 80 metres, overlap the Belice marly-arenaceous formation. This determined favou…

Deep-seated gravitational slope deformations in western Sicily: Controlling factors, triggering mechanisms, and morphoevolutionary models

2014

Abstract A study of deep-seated gravitational slope deformation (DSGSD) phenomena affecting areas of various geological and geomorphological settings in western Sicily is described. Western Sicily is underlain by a thin-skinned imbricate wedge of Meso–Cenozoic carbonate and siliciclastic rocks that formed by the stacking of several thrust nappes over the Iblean foreland. Locally, the original thrust sheets are folded and cut by high-angle faults. Large areas of western Sicily now display high relief energy due to Plio-Pleistocene block-faulting and uplifting, and the Quaternary morphogenetic phases are characterised by incision, thereby triggering widespread DSGSDs. To identify controlling …

L'infrastruttura scomparsa. Il nuovo suolo della stazione Sagrera Alta Velocità a Barcellona

2014

The vanishing infrastructure. The new ground of the Sagrera High-Speed railway station in Barcelona The current railway station mega-project in Barcelona Sagrera highlights the link between the construction of the new High- Speed station and a vast linear park that will cover the existing railroad tracks. In the framework of one of the largest and most ambitious railway and urban redevelopment projects currently underway in all of Europe, this article focuses on the subordination of the Station to the park, which apart from being a mere issue of location (the station is literally under the park), can be reframed within a theoretical debate on the role of architecture in these truly signific…

DIO SALVI IL RESTAURO. L’apporto inglese alla cultura della conservazione dei monumenti

2020

Sebbene già riuscissimo a percepire quanto rilevante fosse l’apporto inglese per aver contribuito alla definizione del restauro modernamente inteso, sino ad oggi mancavano ancora sia una chiara visione d’insieme delle articolate vicende connesse all'affermazione dei princìpi conservativi, sia una più approfondita conoscenza delle fonti documentarie, necessarie al fine di tracciare i profili culturali dei protagonisti e scandagliarne i contributi teorici. La ricostruzione delle vicende è sviluppata entro margini temporali estesi all'incirca per tre secoli, dalla fine del Seicento al principio del Nove-cento, e strutturata attraverso la traduzione e lo studio di testi perlopiù mai circolati i…

L'Occidente nella concezione geografica di Diodoro Siculo

2021

In his first five Books of Historical Library Diodorus pays a particular attention to the lands of Atlantic Far West. Even if the historian does not show to be particularly interested in geographical descriptions and cartography, nevertheless he often portrays the background of mythical stories happening in western areas according to patterns which, in a sort of symmetrical correspondence, are similar to the historian’s representation of events involving the geographical areas of the Asian Far East. Diodorus has a “continuistic” view of the development of civilisation in all parts of the world known until then. The geography of the mythical past is fully consistent with that of Diodorus’ ow…

L’exemplum del Dinomenide Gelone tra memoria civica e storiografica

2015

La storia della Sicilia greca è scandita, nei suoi momenti chiave, dalla persistente presenza dell’immagine del Dinomenide Gelone. Questo lavoro analizza le valenze paradigmatiche assunte dalla sua figura nella memoria civica siracusana e nella produzione storiografica; inoltre ricostruisce le dinamiche politiche che hanno spinto i principali tiranni siracusani (da Dionisio I a Ierone II) a stabilire un confronto con Gelone. Il suo exemplum è utilizzato per legittimare azioni politiche e impegno antipunico; particolare attenzione è posta alla Biblioteca storica di Diodoro Siculo e al ruolo che in essa assume la figura del Dinomenide; in relazione a questi aspetti l’opera dell’Agirinense sem…

Settore L-ANT/02 - Storia GrecaThe history of Greek Sicily is marked at its key moments by the persistent image of Dinomenid Gelon. This work analyses the paradigmatic value taken on by his figure in the civic memory of the people of Syracuse and in historiographic production. It also reconstructs the political dynamics which pushed the principal tyrants of Syracuse (from Dionysius I to Hiero II) to establish comparisons with Gelon. His exemplum was used to legitimate political actions and commitment against the Carthaginianparticular attention was also given to the Library of History of Diodorus Siculus and the role that the figure of Dinomenid assumes in itregarding these aspects the work of this author seems to have sometimes the signs of a personal interpretation of history: one that cannot always be explained in relation to the use of the two principal sources for Western history Timaeus and Philistos.

Tra Palermo e Solunto: insediamenti, ambiente, paesaggio, viabilità e risorse in età antica

2020

This paper describes the hinterland between Palermo and Solunto (north-western Sicily). The focus is the distribution of settlements, linked to the geomorphological context, the potential resources and the ancient route system. The analysis ranges from the Archaic to the Middle Ages, when some relevant sites – both from an economic and strategic point of view – are part of the properties of the Teutonic Order. Some important routes cross the area, both in the SW direction, towards Monte Iato, and in the SE direction, towards the area of influence of the Greek colony of Himera. The analysis is carried out using toponymy and historical cartography, associated with the few archaeological data …

Die vielgestaltige Wassermetaphorik bei Yoko Tawada

2018

The famous German-Japanese author Yoko Tawada lives since 1982 in Germany, where she writes in Japanese and German. This essay examines the multiform metaphor of water in the works of the writer. Furthermore, the study explores the apparently close relations between water, with its continuous changes, and the existence of a fixed identity. This paper also questions how water (a metaphor for identity) in many passages of the selected texts, is sought and rejected but also feared, desired and modified by the protagonists.
