Un contributo ‘palermitano’ al ciclo giulio-claudio di Centuripe
2021
The Julio-Claudian portraits from Centuripe. A contribution from Palermo · The sculptural group of Julio-Claudian princes from Centuripe (en, Sicily) deserves an in-depth analysis after the recent works by R. Patané, who collected a lot of data and proposed a new interpretation of the whole context. Patané’s proposals are discussed starting from two pieces in the Regional Archaeological Museum “Antonino Salinas” at Palermo. A fragment of a cuirassed statue, discovered in the 19th century near the Chiesa del Crocifisso (that is, near the “Edificio degli Augustali”, at that time not yet discovered), is similar to several fragments belonging to three to six different statues of the Julio-Claud…
Nuove indagini all'Edificio A di Piazza della Vittoria a Palermo
2020
A recent archaeological excavation has been carried out in the so called "Edificio A", in the archaeological site of Villa Bonanno, Piazza della Vittoria in Palermo, by th Dipartimento Culture e Società (University of Palermo) and the Polo Regionale di Palermo peri i Musei ei Parchi Archeologici. "Edificio A" was discovered and excavated by the end of the XIX Century and the rich mosic floors were romeved and transferred at the Nationa Archaeological Museum. The style of these mosaics dated the building at the Severian perido but there are still somaspects of this monumnet that are unclear, such us its function and the existence of previous buildings inthe area. The new exploration aimed at…
Leon Battista Alberti, Prologo al De re aedificatoria
2012
Il prologo al De re aedificatoria (di cui si propone una nuova traduzione con testo latino a fronte) presenta i concetti fondamentali dell’estetica architettonica di Leon Battista Alberti: il nuovo ruolo dell’architetto; l’importanza del disegno come operazione mentale; l’analogia dell’edificio con l’organismo vivente; il significato della bellezza intesa sia come valore estetico, in relazione all’ordine armonico della natura, sia come criterio etico-sociale, volto a regolare l’appropriatezza degli ornamenti rispetto alle varie tipologie costruttive. Questi temi, peraltro ampiamente commentati nell’introduzione anche attraverso opportune citazioni dai vari libri del trattato, mostrano l’eme…
Earth in ancient Sicilian architecture / La terra cruda nelle costruzioni della Sicilia antica
2011
Il patrimonio archeologico siciliano, notoriamente fra i più ricchi del territorio nazionale, fornisce importanti testimonianze degli impieghi remoti della terra cruda, mentre le architetture più recenti custodiscono forme di impiego poco appariscenti e meno note a confronto con altre Regioni italiane. La Sicilia offre un campo di osservazione privilegiato per gli impieghi antichi della terra cruda a fini costruttivi innanzitutto perché custodisce numerosi reperti, risalenti ad epoche che vanno dalla preistoria all’età romana e che sono riferibili a tipologie costruttive varie. La principale caratteristica che si può riscontrare, sia nelle più remote origini che nelle successive evoluzioni,…

Structural Vibration Control for a Class of Connected Multistructure Mechanical Systems
2012
Published version of an article from the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/942910 A mathematical model to compute the overall vibrational response of connected multistructure mechanical systems is presented. Using the proposed model, structural vibration control strategies for seismic protection of multibuilding systems can be efficiently designed. Particular attention is paid to the design of control configurations that combine passive interbuilding dampers with local feedback control systems implemented in the buildings. These hybrid active-passive control strategies possess the good properties of passive contro…
Discrete-time multioverlapping controller design for structural vibration control of tall buildings under seismic excitation
2012
Published version of an article from the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/636878 In this paper, a computationally effective strategy to obtain multioverlapping controllers via the Inclusion Principle is applied to design discrete-time state-feedback multioverlapping LQR con- trollers for seismic protection of tall buildings. To compute the corresponding control actions, the proposed semidecentralized controllers only require state information from neighboring stories. This particular configuration of information exchange allows introducing a dramatic reduction in the transmission range required for a wireless imp…
Active-passive control strategy for adjacent buildings
2011
Author's version of a chapter in the book: 2011 Proceedings of the American Control Conference. Also available from the publisher at: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=05991059 In this paper, a control strategy to mitigate the vibrational response of adjacent buildings under seismic excitation is presented. The proposed strategy combines inter-building passive actuators with active actuators placed in the building stories. The main ideas are presented by means of a simplified two-building model; however, a semi-decentralized overlapping approach via the inclusion principle has been used to impose a proper information exchange structure suitable for wireless control of larg…
Semi-decentralized strategies in structural vibration control
2011
Published version of an article published in the journal: Modeling, Identification and Control. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4173/mic.2011.2.2 In this work, the main ideas involved in the design of overlapping and multi-overlapping controllers via the Inclusion Principle are discussed and illustrated in the context of the Structural Vibration Control of tall buildings under seismic excitation. A detailed theoretical background on the Inclusion Principle and the design of overlapping controllers is provided. Overlapping and multi-overlapping LQR controllers are designed for a simplied five-story building model. Numerical simulations are conducted to asses the pe…
