Cultural heritage through history and nature: conservation and re-use. The Scicli case study
2013
The research originates from a relationship between a local body of illustrious traditions and a research facility of the University of Palermo – the Interdepartmental Research Centre on Historical Centres (hereafter C.I.R.CE.S.), that has the aim of providing consultancy and scientific support to the initiatives of territorial bodies concerning policies and urban and territorial redevelopment plans and the redevelopment of historical centres. Scicli is one of the most important towns belonging to the province of Ragusa. The urban centre, in addition to being able to boast a special identity deriving from the peculiar impact of the dazzling baroque architectures on the surrounding landscap…
Heritage, urbanity and transition: methods and tools for a possible future.
2021
It has taken millennia to provide our world with works of art that are sometimes comparable in magnificence and character to natural creation. Some civilizations of the past, without having any of our means, have created a historical heritage of infinite beauty. The literature on heritage and memory reports that heritage exists because society attests that an artifact, event, or place is so valuable that it is handed down to the next generation. Heritage is our anchor and beauty will save us. Architects, historians and geographers have argued that the concepts of heritage and memory are socially constructed, they shape cities and influence their identity. In the current metamorphosis, how t…
Naples. Two Tales of one City. Second Tale: The Royal Court Cuisine
2014
Nella cucina delle città capitali, anche nella più misera, affiora sempre un je ne sais quoi di nobiltà. Attorno ai re, ai viceré, agli emiri, ai podestà, alla nobiltà e all’aristocrazia hanno sempre volteggiato eccellenti e creativi cuochi, alimentatori di traffici internazionali di ricette, ingredienti, tecniche e strumenti di cucina. Sovente, dal loro stuolo di aiuto cuochi, fattorini, garzoni, sguatteri e lavapiatti, i più intraprendenti si sono ingegnati a loro volta per riprodurre, per la cucina del popolo, le ricette dei grandi chef “tagliate” con ingredienti locali e low cost. I ricettari dei grandi chef hanno così finito per contaminare, loro malgrado, la cucina popolare, evolvendo…
Ventilation Problems in Heritage Buildings
2007
The control of indoor conditions in heritage buildings, such as castles or museums, is of paramount importance for the proper preservation of the artworks kept in. As heritage buildings are often not equipped with HVAC systems, it is necessary to provide proper interventions and measures with the aim of monitoring and controlling indoor physical parameters. Moreover, another requirement should be achieved in such buildings, that is the maintenance of the safety conditions in presence of visiting people. This work reports the results of a survey carried on a hall of a historical palace, aimed to assess an useful correlation between CO2 concentration and occupancy levels.
Dry stone buildings in Sicily. An environmental and territorial resource
2013
Dry stone constructions are widespread throughout many regions across the world, in a wide variety of forms, according to the environmental and socio-economic contexts, and constitute a valuable know-how which is today in danger of disappearing. In Sicily dry stone works have traditionally been used in the area of Val di Noto where they constitute a key character of the landscape, and in the Madonie Mounts in which some policies of enhancement have been recently initiated. In the framework of the Grundtvig programme “La préservation du patrimoine architectural bâti en pierre sèche”, an in-depth analysis of these architectures have been pursued, aiming to create a database inventory. This pa…
« Deirdre O’Mahony, artiste et archéologue des savoirs techniques indigènes »
2022
Les projets participatifs et collaboratifs de l’artiste irlandaise Deirdre O’Mahony, ancrés dans le monde rural du Burren, valorisent le patrimoine vernaculaire et les savoir-faire indigènes. Ses recherches de terrain portant sur l’évolution du paysage abordé comme milieu et les collaborations multiples qu’elle entreprend aboutissent à des propositions artistiques revisitant le land art. Ses interventions dans le paysage sont souvent complétées par des propositions dialogiques, dont le repas partagé, qui invite les participants à explorer l’histoire des lieux, les jeux de pouvoir qui s’y tissent et la pertinence des savoirs vernaculaires pour les enjeux de demain, notamment en matière de sé…

Vins d’appellations et gastronomie régionale. La genèse bourguignonne d’un modèle novateur (années 1920-1930)
2016
Boire du vin au restaurant, le choisir ou le faire choisir en fonction du plat sélectionné, étudier la carte des boissons tout comme le menu, ou encore commenter les domaines et les millésimes, sont des actes totalement intégrés par les amateurs de gastronomie du XXIe siècle. Et même si les associations mets vins tendent à s’internationaliser, déguster un produit local avec un vin du cru reste un moment important pour nombre de personnes souhaitant visiter une région. Cette démarche, si commune aujourd’hui, résulte pourtant d’un processus historique finalement assez récent et dont l’évidence contemporaine n’a rien de manifeste historiquement. En France au début du XXe siècle seulement, et d…
