Fortfying pre-existing structures: tower houses and fortified enceintes, in Garofalo E, Scaduto F, Fortified Palaces in Early Modern Sicily. Models, …
2014
In early modern Sicily the extra-urban fortified residence was a limited but important architectural phenomenon. Starting from the last decades of XV century previous residential buildings, especially towers, were in some cases renewed by the introduction of a surrounding fortified perimeter with bastions (i.e. Donjon of Adrano; tower of Migaido). The paper presents a sequence of examples most representative of the architectural phenomenon, specially focusing on the models in use; the intertwining between residential and military needs in the conformation of inside and outside spaces; finally, the relation between image strategy and practical function.
'Bastioned’ residences: models and projects, in Garofalo E, Scaduto F, Fortified Palaces in Early Modern Sicily. Models, Image Strategy, Functions
2014
In early modern Sicily the extra-urban fortified residence was a limited but important architectural phenomenon. Starting from the last decades of the fifteenth century, previous residential buildings, especially Towers, were in some cases renewed by the introductio of a surronding fortified perimeter with bastioned (e.g. Dojon of Adrano; tower of Migaido). Subsequently the genesis of new palaces with bastions, bulwarks and pseudo- bulwarks is certainly linked to contemporary publications and specialized treaties, but local conditions played an equaly important role. The position along the Mediterranean frontier the islamic world and the presence of numerous military engineers created an en…

Le strutture difensive delle colonie greche di Sicilia. Storia, tipologia, materiali
2010
Il presente Volume si propone di approfondire la conoscenza storica, tipologica e materica delle strutture difensive presenti nei maggiori siti archeologici siciliani di fondazione greca, premessa indispensabile per un qualsiasi tipo di intervento di recupero e fruizione. Il Volume affronta, innanzitutto, il tema della colonizzazione greca in Sicilia, in quanto la nascita delle fortificazioni è strettaente correlata alla necessità di difendersi dalle popolazioni indigene, e indaga sulle relazioni esistenti fra fortificazioni e tipologie insediative, soffermandosi, in seguito ad analizzare i vari subsistemi (fondazioni, muri, coronamenti, smaltimento delle acque) e componenti (porte e torri)…
D2hTDS-ST Software for Stark Spectrum Simulation of X2Y4 Asymmetric-Top Molecules
2011
Abstract We present the D 2 h TDS-ST ( D 2 h -Top Data System for Stark effect) program suite with the aim to simulate Stark spectra of any IR active rovibrational polyad of X 2 Y 4 ( D 2 h ) asymmetric-top molecules. D 2 h TDS-ST consists in a series of FORTRAN programs called by scripts. For calculation of Stark spectra, we obtained the expressions of the dipole moment and polarizability operators of X 2 Y 4 molecules using a tensorial formalism. For convenience, we integrated the D 2 h TDS-ST programs into the D 2 h TDS package. The D 2 h TDS suite (including the D 2 h TDS-ST programs) is freely available at the URL: http://icb.u-bourgogne.fr/OMR/SMA/SHTDS/D2HTDS.html .
Pair potential calculation of molecular associations: a vectorized version
1991
Abstract The program AMYRVF is a vectorized and largely modified version of a previous program called AMYR for calculating molecular associations by means of Fraga's pair-wise atom-atom potential. Three new minimization procedures have been implemented as well as other improvements such as the inclusion of new pair-wise dispersion energy terms with damping functions, and the calculation of topological indices. Benchmark tests have been carried out on an IBM 3090 150E VF; the timings for the new vector algorithms and for the standard scalar computations, as well as the dependence of the overall performance gain on the size of interacting systems are reported for the VS Fortran 2.4 compiler e…

Il canonico Mondello e il Tesoro della Madonna di Trapani
2016
Si analizza la figura del Canonico Mondello e il suo testo sul Tesoro della Madonna di Trapani, proponendo una selezione che privilegia principalmente le opere di produzione siciliana donate dai più illustri personaggi della nobiltà europea. It analyzes Canonico Mondello’s figure and his text about the Treasure of Trapani’s Madonna, proposing a selection that puts first the Sicilian works donated by the most eminent personalities of the european aristocracy.
