La Blanca, un asentamiento urbano maya en la cuenca del río Mopán
2014
[EN] The purpose of this paper is to discuss about a recent research carried out at La Blanca, an ancient Mayan settlement in Guatemala. The urban and architectural features of this site reveal us important data about its social and cultural significance, and also about the role it played in the Mopan river basin area. The research methodology as well as La Blanca cultural heritage enhancement has produced results that demonstrated the possibility of conducting social action aimed at promoting economic and cultural developing of neighboring communities.
Abitare la transizione nei Centri minori in Sicilia
2023
The proposal aims to develop concrete experience on possible ways of living from a framework of national and international references on the theme of the Social Housing Community to define a specific methodology on strategies to be tested on the theme of residence temporary in small towns in Sicily. The provision of minimum and adequate space for short and long periods of welcome is thus intended for new temporary residents (returning young people, migrant families, the elderly, travellers in transit) which can also be used to meet the needs of migrants, under the public direction of the municipal administration. The issue of residency is back in the disciplinary debate after the health eme…
Valledolmo 2030: la città che cura
2022
The small towns can become the places to reactivate the rural areas of our country through essential factors starting from the natural and cultural heritage, from social inclusion, from psycho-physical well-being, helping to reverse the unstoppable phenomenon of the flight of young people. The current Covid-19 emergency has revealed the crucial role of health, not only in terms of health facilities, but also in new ways to feel better, spend more free time outdoors, eat healthily and boost the economies of Local communities. It is in this context that the research-action project of the research group and the LabCity Architecture degree laboratory aims to investigate the theme of the city th…
The Power of Fiction in Creating a Territory’s Image
2021
The current economic crisis, and its effects on the European sovereign debt, has resulted in a significant reduction in Italian investments in the field of preservation and enhancement of cultural heritage. In fragile contexts, such as Sicily, the contraction of investments has put further into crisis the already weak manage- ment and planning system. Despite this scenario of crisis, in South-Eastern Sicily, the province of Ragusa shows a significant resilience to the crisis also due to the “Mon- talbano effect” and the capability to rethink the traditional heritage policies (Maga- zzino and Mantovani 2012). The paper, based on the analysis of the South-Eastern Sicily case study, reflects o…
Digital Restitution of Cultural Goods: In Search of a Working Model
2023
AbstractThe paper deals with the problem of digital restitution of art to post-colonial and postdependency countries. A new model of digital restitution composed of two elements: creation of a digital copy with a NFT attached and creation of new property right in a physical and digital object has been proposed. A system of balances between the rights and duties based on the prior user concept has been developed.

Preliminary studies on red palm weevil as potential risk for palm trees in mediterranean basin
2012
The impacts of insect invasive species on human health and on agricutlture have attracted worldwide attention. However, researchers and policymakers rarely directly address the connection between invasive species and loss in natual and cultural heritages. Various attempts have been made to address the plants that are affected by invasive species but the links between these and loss in naturla biodiversity and heritage in botanical and historical gardens are largely lacking in the literature. We report a study on the Red Palm Weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorous ferrugineus (Oliv.) (Fig. 1) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) which is the most important pest of the palm date trees in many countries. RPW is …
Aplicación en 123dCatch para un nuevo enfoque a la fotogrametría low-cost
2014
L’articolo si focalizza sulla possibilità di realizzare ricostruzioni tri- dimensionali del patrimonio architettonico, implementando un’ap- plicazione gratuita della Autodesk che permette di trasformare le prese fotografiche in vere e proprie scene 3D. Il funzionamento del software si basa sull’automatizzazione di un processo di re- verse modelling: in particolare, le macchinose operazioni di rico- noscimento dei punti omologhi vengono elaborate per mezzo di un algoritmo di cloud computing (non richiedendo quindi, potenti calcolatori).
Un corretto approccio alle tecniche di fotogrammetria low-cost: il caso di 123D Catch
2014
L’articolo si focalizza sulla possibilità di realizzare ricostruzioni tridimensionali del patrimonio architettonico, implementando un’applicazione gratuita della Autodesk che permette di trasformare le prese fotografiche in vere e proprie scene 3D. Il funzionamento del software si basa sull’automatizzazione di un processo di reverse modelling, così, assumendo sempre validi i principi della fotogrammetria, è possibile stimare e conoscere la posizione nello spazio di ogni punto fotografato (ovviamente, purché collimabile in almeno tre prese). In particolare, le macchinose operazioni di riconoscimento dei punti omologhi avverranno per mezzo di un algoritmo di cloud computing, non richiedendo q…
Ambienti aumentati e archeologia dei media
2018
Notoriamente le tecniche di Realtà virtualmente Aumentata (AR) consentono di arricchire la scena “reale” acquisita da un dispositivo portatile – usato come protesi percettiva (indossabile) – integrandovi oggetti di sintesi (virtuali) che figurano tanto verosimilmente in scena da essere giudicati altrettanto “reali”. Sia la Realtà Virtuale (VR), sia la AR, producendo esperienze di telepresenza consapevolmente decettive, funziona come una forma artificiale (protesica e utilitaria) di allucinazione1 consapevole, cioè, di “sogno lucido”. Le differenze tra VR ed AR – con rispettivi pregi e difetti – sono orami fatti noti e dibattuti.2 Da un lato la VR consente di esperire un ambiente “finto” com…
