Cultural Heritage As A Driver Of Development
2010
After drawing attention to the importance of cultural heritage, the Authors analyze the inherent problems of the various stages: conservation, valorization and fruition which, interacting and fully respecting the integrity and identity of the asset and its history, can promote local economic development and employment opportunities.
Jednorazowe pozwolenie na stały wywóz zabytku za granicę z perspektywy kategorii wieku i wartości – ochrona dziedzictwa kulturowego a rynek sztuki w …
2019
Artykuł przedstawia problem wywozu zabytków za granicę. Analizie została poddana procedura wywozu zabytku na stałe w kontekście kategorii wieku i wartości obiektu. Autorzy prezentują nowy test VOH (Value of Heritage), który może być stosowany przez rzeczoznawców Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego. Pomoże to w dużym stopniu obniżyć ryzyko wydania decyzji nienależycie uzasadnionych czy niekorzystnych dla zachowania narodowego dziedzictwa kultury w Polsce
La scoperta, sistemazione e conservazione della grande Iscrizione di Gortina, nell'isola di Creta (1884-1921): la protezione delle testimonianze e le…
2013
La scoperta e la conservazione della Grande Iscrizione di Gortina a Creta, da parte degli studiosi italiani, fra la fine del XIX sec. e i primi decenni del XX sec., rappresentò un grande riconoscimento scientifico-culturale per la giovane nazione italiana. Nel passato, l’isola di Creta era stata legata alla Repubblica di Venezia e anche questo rapporto favorì l’invio a Creta del giovane epigrafista F. Halbherr, il quale fra notevoli peripezie rinvenne, assieme all’epigrafista tedesco E. Fabricius, la famosa l’iscrizione nell’antica città di Gortina. L’iscrizione, fra le più antiche e complete finora conosciute in tutta Europa, conteneva le norme sulla famiglia, l’eredità e in generale i dir…
Una nuova acquisizione iconografica per la ricostruzione della tribuna di Antonello Gagini nella Cattedrale di Palermo
2022
La recente digitalizzazione di un dipinto di anonimo siciliano nelle collezioni del Museo de Historia di Madrid e il suo inserimento nei database del patrimonio culturale spagnolo ed europeo ha consentito di riportare all’attenzione della comunità scientifica un’importante raffigurazione pittorica della tribuna di Antonello Gagini nella Cattedrale di Palermo. Dopo avere ripercorso le principali fonti documentarie ed iconografiche relative alla tribuna, viene qui presentata l’opera oggi a Madrid, che fornisce un prezioso riscontro alle fonti fin qui note.

2013
Il volume Tommaso Maria Napoli Utriusque Architecturae Compendium Roma 1688 Breve trattato sulle fabbriche civili e militari e la conservazione delle architetture del frate domenicano Tommaso Maria Napoli, vuole contribuire ad accrescere le nostre conoscenze sui principi che dovevano sottendere alla realizzazione dell’architettura civile e militare del periodo barocco e tardo barocco, così come espressi nel breve trattato scritto dal frate architetto, nato a Palermo, Tommaso Maria Napoli (1659-1725), e pubblicato a Roma alla fine del Seicento. Alla traduzione dal latino del trattato, redatta da esperti (Fabio Zarbo e Pietro Zarbo), è inclusa un’interessante ricerca, redatta congiuntamente c…
A comparative thermogravimetric study of waterlogged archaeological and sound woods
2010
Waterlogged archaeological woods Pinus pinaster and Fagus sylvatica L. were analyzed by using TG technique. Degradation processes ascribable to the holocellulose decay were evidenced at nearly the same temperature for sound and archaeological samples. The residual matters at 600 and 900 °C of the sound woods are much lower than those of archaeological waterlogged woods in agreement with the presence of inorganic materials encapsulated during the burial into the marine environment. It was proposed a new protocol to rapidly calculate the maximum water content parameter, which is related to the wood degradation state. TG experiments at variable heating rates were performed to obtain kinetic pa…
A multi-analytical approach for the characterization of black crusts on the facade of an historical cathedral
2020
Abstract This study focuses on the characterization of black crusts collected from the Monza cathedral located in the homonymous city (N Italy), a hot spot from the point of view of the atmospheric pollution. Black crusts and substrate marble specimens were analyzed by a multi-analytical approach including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Stereomicroscopy (SM), Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), High Resolution Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (HRSEM-EDX) and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP/MS). The characterization of the carbon fraction (organic carbon, OC, and element…
Thermal and hygrometric properties of traditional calcarenite stones in the area of Palermo
2017
Il contributo espone le misure di conducibilità termica svolte su tre conci di calcarenite conchiliare e la caratterizzazione igrometrica di uno di essi. I risultati sono confrontati con i dati termici e igrometrici riportati dalle norme tecniche esistenti (UNI 10351, UNI EN ISO 10456, UNI EN 1745). The energy improvement of historic buildings requires detailed knowledge of the thermal and hygrometric properties of traditional materials and components. These data should be collected for specific local contexts, where the features of historic constructions are comparable. For the purpose of developing this tool for the architectural heritage of Palermo, this research focuses on calcarenite s…
"Public Governance of Cultural Heritage". Using the institution of Trust to recover the degraded cultural assets owned by a Municipality
In Italy, the cultural heritage care has always been charged primarily to the State or,more generally, to the Public Sector, especially in the light of its natural aptitude to pursue general interests. However, nowadays the primacy of the public actors (first and foremost the Municipalities, viewed more and more as main actors in charge for the care of cultural heritage), risks being questioned by increasingly stringent budgetary constraints. The latter have been compromising the capability to guarantee a fair and widespread protection and to make the cultural heritage available to the community, as witnessed by the progressive accumulation of degraded or abandoned cultural heritage over ti…
Effect of environmental conditions on the durability of polycarbonate for the protection of cultural heritage sites.
2019
Polycarbonate is a good material for covering and protecting cultural heritage sites because of its durability, mechanical properties, and transparency. However, polycarbonate degrades under environmental weathering with a significant decrease of physical and mechanical properties and loss of transparency. In this work, the contemporary presence of ultraviolet irradiation and different temperature and moisture conditions have been taken into account to study the environmental degradation of this polymer with regard to its mechanical and optical properties. The photo-oxidation reactions cause a decrease in the molecular weight and the formation of many oxygenated species. The hydrolytic sci…
