iHERITAGE Project : AR/VR for the enhancement and accessibility of the norman architecture of the Unesco site of Palermo
2023
In the context of conservation and dissemination of cultural heritage, noninvasive technologies for the generation of digital models have produced exponential growth in the quality of the data acquired. The digital contents processed allow the use of architectural contexts that no longer exist or sites that are di cult to access, thanks to the visualisation of high-resolution and immersive products. However, the process from acquisition to visualisation requires optimisation strategies and specific operational choices, depending on the design goals. The study describes some results of a broader research within the iHERITAGE Project funded by the ENI CBC MED Program 2014-2020, critically des…
Una Comunità di Chatbot per i Beni Culturali
2005
L'intuizione occupa un ruolo fondamentale nella capacità di ragionamento degli esseri umani. L'obiettivo del lavoro è la progettazione di un'infrastruttura in grado di fornire informazioni che oltre ad appoggiarsi ad un insieme di conoscenze basato su regole sia dotata anche di capacità intuitive. A tal fine è presentato un sistema preliminare che rappresenta il primo passo verso la realizzazione di tale infrastruttura. Il sistema permette ad un utente di interagire con una comunità di chat-bot aventi competenze specifiche in modo da navigare in uno spazio concettuale generato automaticamente con il paradigma di analisi della semantica latente (LSA). La base di conoscenza di ciascun chat-bo…

Hydrogeological hazards and weather events: Triggering and evolution of shallow landslides
2014
Abstract Landslides are the most intense and serious manifestations of the degradation of slopes and they are the main causes of geological hazard when they, directly or indirectly, involving towns and infrastructures. They are a global environment problem; there are several examples that have produced untold damages and loss of human lives in many parts of the world. In 1920 the landslides mobilization, as a result of a strong earthquake in China, in the province of Kansu, killed 200,000 people; in 1938 fast debris flow, triggered by heavy rainfalls in Japan, caused the death of 600 people; in 1963 in Italy the Vajont disaster caused the death of 1,899 people, as a result of a landslide lo…
Disegni per interpretare le trasformazioni delle torri della costiera amalfitana
2020
The fascinating nature of the Amalfi coast is the background for territories full of history and places of immense value. Starting from some of the main representations of the Salerno territory, it was possible to retrace the main evolutionary phases of the city and then focus on what is a ‘product’ of the events that have taken place over time, the Cetara Tower. The research and iconographic documentation, in fact, have made possible to highlight some of the transformations and superfetations that the tower, in the homonymous city, has undergone during the years; up to assume the current conformation
Impact de la proximité identitaire « publics-musée d'art » sur la fréquentation des lieux culturels : le cas des musées d’art

The value that individuals attach to a cultural object can be explained, among other things, by their identity project of belonging to a group. This thesis proposes new strategic orientations for museums that increase museum attendance, change the relationship of the art museum with the public and attract other individuals.This research allowed the conceptualization of the proximity of the "public-art museum" identity, the confirmation of its dimensions and antecedents, and finally the analysis of the relationship between the "public-art museum" identity proximity and the art museum attendance. Moreover, the development of a "public-art museum" identity proximity scale, offers to broaden th…
Proximité identitaire « publics musée d’art » et fréquentation du lieu culturel

2021
We live in a globalized world in which the attractiveness of territories, cultural policy and creativity are important levers for economic and sustainable development. Even a small territory or medium-sized cities can build their image by attracting tourists to increase economic benefits. Among other instruments, the Unesco's list has become increasingly popular. What are the consequences of classifying cities, know-how, traditions such as the world heritage of humanity? What are the differences in the ranking of items from different countries? The term heritage indicates all the objects, historical monuments, landscapes, or traditions of a country. There is the classification of these elem…
