A roadmap for amphibious drilling at the Campi Flegrei caldera: insights from a MagellanPlus workshop
2019
Large calderas are among the Earth's major volcanic features. They are associated with large magma reservoirs and elevated geothermal gradients. Caldera-forming eruptions result from the withdrawal and collapse of the magma chambers and produce large-volume pyroclastic deposits and later-stage deformation related to post-caldera resurgence and volcanism. Unrest episodes are not always followed by an eruption; however, every eruption is preceded by unrest. The Campi Flegrei caldera (CFc), located along the eastern Tyrrhenian coastline in southern Italy, is close to the densely populated area of Naples. It is one of the most dangerous volcanoes on Earth and represents a key example of an acti…

L'utilità dell'inutile - The Usefulness of Uselessness - La utilidad de lo inutil
2015
Testo critico sull'esperimento didattico "Inhabiting the Territory" : un laboratorio, esteso tra l’Italia e il Cile, un luogo di elaborazione dell’esperienza diretta, che lavora trasversalmente all’architettura, al design e al paesaggio, per riconoscerne – per contatto così come per differenza – contaminazioni e aderenze, contenuti e concetti, potenzialità e previsioni, e che prova a tenere insieme luoghi distanti, materie impreviste, cultura locale e cultura materiale, la città densa con la campagna estesa e a bassa densità… i Quattro Canti di città, a Palermo e Loanco sull’Oceano Pacifico. È una didattica del pensiero e delle mani, per sperimentare prima di fare, per fare senza aver paura…
Riflessioni "a margine". Il workshop "Sul margine dell'Orto Botanico di Palermo" dal punto di vista di una storica dell'arte
2020
The paper is the result of a historical research conducted during the Architecture workshop "Sul margine dell'Orto Botanico di Palermo. Spazi per Visiting Professor" ("On the edge of the Botanical Garden of Palermo. Spaces for Visiting Professor"), organized from 24 to 27 September 2018 by the Professors of the University of Palermo Andrea Sciascia, Giuseppe Di Benedetto, Giuseppe Marsala and Antonino Margagliotta and included in the teaching activities of the PhD in Architecture, Arts and Planning. It consists of a descriptive part of the Manifesta12 interventions – the prestigious nomadic Biennial of contemporary art whose last edition took place in Palermo – at the Botanical Garden. This…

Raw material variability as archaeological tools: Preliminary results from a geochemical study of the basalt vessel workshop at Iron Age Tel Hazor, I…
2016
The discovery of a basalt vessel workshop at Tel Hazor, one of the most important Iron Age sites in the Near East, marks a turning point in our understanding of stone artifact production and distribution during the1st millennium BCE. It offers a rare opportunity to characterize ancient raw material sources, production sites, and study production, trade and distribution systems. The basalt vessel workshop, the only one of its kind in the Levant, produced large quantities of bowl preforms and production waste. To better understand the production and distribution systems behind this specialized production center, in 2011 we initiated a focused geochemical project that concentrated on the produ…
Environmental Humanities in pre-service teachers' Education
2018
Aim: The aim of the reserch is to explore the possibility of integrating Sciences and Humanities in the Faculty of Education using Ecocriticism books and literary workshops with didactic activities of interdisciplinary nature.
 Methods: The experience was carried out with 100 students of the Faculty of Education of the University of Valencia from the subjects “Natural Sciences for teachers” and “Literary training for teachers”, where different didactic activities around two literary works, a novel and a short story, were proposed.
 Results: After the activities, the vast mayority of the students consider that Literature can help to learn Science. 41'7% of the students of “Literary…
Tra teoria e pratica: la didattica del design nella Scuola di Cole, nel Bauhaus e nella HfG
2018
Il compito delle Università è la formazione dell’intellet- tuale per contribuire allo sviluppo culturale della società. Negli ultimi tempi, però, si assiste in Italia a uno scolla- mento tra quel che si studia nelle Università e quanto accade nel mondo del lavoro. Per dimostrare come la didattica (e la ricerca) debba essere legata al mondo pro- duttivo si esima l’attività di tre istituti che hanno segnato tappe fondamentali nella storia del design: la Government School di Londra, fondata da Henry Cole nell’Ottocento, il Bauhaus e la Hochschule für Gestaltung di Ulm. Il risul- tato è che il rapporto tra didattica, sperimentazione e mon- do produttivo, in questi luoghi di eccellenza, è sempre…
Mosses as a biomonitor to identify elements released into the air as a result of car workshop activities
2022
Human activity as a result of civilization development contributes to creating new sources of environmental pollution. Air pollution is one of the major problems because it affects the fauna and flora, and people themselves. There is a lack of public awareness of the level of atmospheric analytes pollution emitted from people's occupational and recreational (leisure) activities. A quick, cheap and easy way to investigate the state of the environment is to use organisms-biomonitors that indicate the level of environmental pollution. The study aimed to assess air pollution in an urban area using three moss species: Sphagnum fallax, Pleurozium schreberi and Dicranum polysetum. Mosses were expo…
The sunset of Gortyn: amphorae in 7th –8th centuries AD
2014
Gortyn (A. Di Vita [ed.] 2000-01), some new contexts, more delimited and reliable, allow us to define better circulation, developments, and local use of amphorae in the last periods of urban life of the Cretan city. Two contexts of the mid-late 7th and late 7th-8th centuries are briefly analysed, coming from different quarters of the town (the Old Agora and the Early Byzantine houses near the “Praetorium”), and resulting from different formative processes, which could represent the circulation trends just before, and in the re-occupation phase after the earthquake that dismembered the Late Roman urban layout at the end of the 7th/early 8th century. They display a variety of imports from tra…
