Sciacca tra XIV e XV secolo: uno spaccato di vita nel Castello Nuovo
2011
Il saggio, attraverso l'esame di un inventario inedito della metà del XV secolo, ricostruisce uno spaccato di vita medievale nel castello nuovo di Sciacca, costruito da Guglielmo Peralta, conte di Caltabellotta, e ripercorre la storia dei signori di Sciacca che nel castello hanno risieduto nel XIV e XV secolo, i Peralta e i Luna.
I segni del Giudizio della famiglia “Ava” e gli aspetti innovativi del poemetto del ms. München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cgm 717
2004
Il saggio analizza in dettaglio il poemetto sui “Quindici segni premonitori del Giudizio Universale” tràdito nel ms. München, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Cgm 717, evidenziandone le analogie e differenze rispetto al testo di Frau Ava e soffermandosi sui tratti innovativi e originali che lo caratterizzano, in particolare sull’interesse per l’aspetto naturalistico-scientifico e sulla ricerca di una spiegazione razionale per il verificarsi di alcuni segni. Inoltre si sottolinea la presenza di temi e motivi apocalittici (quali lo scorrere contro corrente delle acque) e l’interpolazione di alcuni brani tratti da una versione del Fisiologo, che contribuiscono a distinguere il poemetto nell’ambito…
Knowledge engineering and semantic formalism of symbolic relations. From medieval network to web 3.0
2020
A search has always been at the center of human concerns, the one of conditions and means to represent, to control well, and to communicate effectively with his environment. While technological advances and electronic gadgets such as smartphones, the Web, and online social networks currently allow addressing this concern, it has not always been the case. Our works in this thesis treat medieval documents considered as a medium of communication and as a model of the social network in the Middle Ages. These documents are called medieval illuminations. They were luxurious paintings used in that time to represent the environment and ideal world for elites such as prince, duke, etc. Those paintin…
Casa, corte y cancillería del obispo de Valencia Hug de Llupià (1398-1427)
1998
This survey is our modest contribution to the history of a medieval episcopal court. Its objective is to know the people who were the components of the Household, Court and Chancellery of the Valencia diocese Bishop, Hugo de Llupià (1408-1425), through the different posts, trades, servants and "familia" members who performed their duties at the service of the diocese episcopal management as well as at the Bishop himself. To do this study we have made use of five records belonging to the mentioned Bishop which are kept in the Diocesan Archives of Valencia coresponding to the years 1408, 1412, 1418, 1421 and 1425.[fr] Cette étude est une modeste contribution à l’hisioire d'une cour médiévale …
1200-yr high-resolution terrestrial climate archive from the middle of the Mediterranean: The sedimentary record from Lake “Specchio di Venere” on Pa…
2011
The special location of Lake "Specchio di Venere" on Pantelleria Island in the Sicily Channel (Mediterranean Sea) between Tunisia and Sicily offers a unique terrestrial archive recording atmospheric changes, which are otherwise difficult to decipher in the marine records from this area. The lake is an endorheic saline basin with a maximum depth of 12.5 m. As the water input depends on rainfall, precipitation variations influence changes of the lake's water chemistry. In summer 2008, Lake Venere was cored with a modified Livingstone corer revealing a composite sedimentary sequence of 10.29 m length. Two radiocarbon dates form a preliminary age model indicating a very high sedimentation rate …
Making a rural landscape: ecological and human dynamics in the holm oak forest of Mt. Barraù (Corleone, Palermo, C-W Sicily)
2017
The Harvesting Memories Project (funded by Bona Furtuna LLC) aims to investigate the long-term landscape transformations in the central part of the Alto Belice Corleonese (Central-Western Sicily). The case study area is formed by a sequence of gentle hills (Contrade Castro and Giardinello), rich in water springs that offer an optimal condition for agricultural exploitation, irregularly interrupted by the Mt. Barraù (1420 m a.s.l.) with steep and abrupt slopes in the south-west side. The study of this territory is approached by an holistic perspective to detect and evaluate the relationships and the interactions among human activities and the environment. The holm oak forest that covers part…
The tree of life in the southern porch of the cathedral of Palermo: survey and geometric analysis
2016
This study focuses one of the most puzzling works of art made in Palermo at the end of the medieval age: the tree of life, a rich geometrical decoration with animal and human figures in the southern porch of the Cathedral of Palermo. Topographic and SfM photogrammetric methods produced a detailed orthophoto of the porch. Images collected during restoration have been rectified and superimposed to the orthophoto. The geometrical analysis of the decorative patterns reveals a complex design and meaningful links between the decoration and the general architectural layout of the porch.
La rappresentazione dell'architettura in alcuni rivestimenti musivi di epoca medievale in Sicilia
2019
Nei mosaici che decorano le chiese costruite in Sicilia nel XII dai re normanni compaiono rappresentazioni di edifici. Tali rappresentazioni, come frequentemente accade in epoca pre-rinascimentale, condensano, per accostamento, diverse ‘viste’ dello stesso edificio. La presenza negli edifici normanni di pavimenti e manufatti lignei decorati secondo pattern geometrici, ha suggerito la ricerca di analoghi tracciati nei rivestimenti musivi. L’analisi grafica propone la presenza di quadrati e ottagoni stellati in un mosaico della Cappella palatina di Palermo che raffigura un padiglione coperto da una cupola. Many buildings are depicted in the mosaic panels that enrich the churches built in Sici…
Un itinerario UNESCO in crescita. ‘Palermo arabo-normanna e le cattedrali di Cefalù e Monreale’, dal riconoscimento del 2015 al dibattito attuale
2021
ITALIANO: La World Heritage List riconosce in Sicilia sette siti, ultimo in ordine di tempo è l’itinerario ‘Palermo arabo-normanna e le cattedrali di Cefalù e Monreale’ (2015) che include dieci monumenti selezionati per le «condizioni d’integrità, autenticità e buono stato di conservazione». Nel 2018 la concomitanza delle manifestazioni ‘Palermo capitale della cultura’ e ‘Manifesta’ hanno contribuito ad ampliare il dibattito sulla consapevolezza e la valorizzazione del patrimonio, attraverso una visione urbana delle reti riconosciute. / ENGLISH: The World Heritage List includes seven Sicilian sites, the last in order of time to berecognized is the ‘Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Chur…
