Wood-decay fungi on trees of the city of Palermo (Sicily, Italy)
2020
Nineteen taxa, belonging to 15 genera, included in 12 families of Basidiomycetes were observed on different living trees and stumps. Data on hosts and collection sites are reported together with notes on the causes of wood decay fungi attack and suggestions for solutions.
Tamarix arborea var. subvelutina (Tamaricaceae), new from Spain

An insight into the presence of lignicolous fungi in Sicily (southern Italy)
2017
Thirty-six lignicolous fungal species (4 Ascomycota and 32 Basidiomycota), included in 16 families and 28 genera have been recorded in different natural and reforested areas of Sicily. Amylostereum laevigatum, Ceriporia excelsa, Phlebia lilascens, and Stereum insignitum represent new records for Sicily. Notes on some rare species are also here reported.
Elaphomyces citrinus and Elaphomyces maculatus in Sicily (southern Italy)
2009
The first record of Elaphomyces maculatus from Sicily is reported. The presence of E. citrinus in Sicily, first indicated a century ago by Mattirolo in his monograph on hypogeous fungi of Sardinia and Sicily, is confirmed. Notes on the taxonomy, ecology and distribution of these two infrequent hypogeous fungi are provided.
First records of Craterium aureonucleatum, Perichaena quadrata, and Physarum mutabile in Italy
2012
Three species of Mycetozoa, new for Italy, were identified in garrigues and maquis ecosystems on the volcanic island of Pantelleria (Sicily). The finding of Craterium aureonucleatum, Perichaena quadrata, and Physarum mutabile widens their distribution in Europe and identifies new substrata.
A possible bridge between Adria and Africa: New palaeobiogeographic and stratigraphic constraints on the Mesozoic palaeogeography of the Central Medi…
2010
Abstract Dinosaur records in central and southern Italy testify to the occurrence of a diverse dinosaur fauna on the Apennine and Apulian carbonate platforms at least from the Tithonian to the Santonian. Most of the palaeogeographic reconstructions show these domains as topographically isolated areas, separated by deep pelagic basins and far from emerged continental areas. Thus, they hardly justify the long-lasting occurrence of these terrestrial vertebrates. Recent studies on the Mesozoic Panormide Carbonate Platform (western Sicily) yielded important stratigraphical and palaeontological data, which provide evidence for a convincing explanation of this unresolved problem. The recent discov…
The Messinian Salinity Crisis in the Mediterranean: an integrated scenario

Mediterraneo: mito, paisajes y arquitecturas silenciosas
2019
Il Mediterraneo è certamente l’ambito geografico compiuto e definito che, più di ogni altro, ha visto nascere, sviluppare ed evolvere le civiltà in grado di segnare la storia dell’Uomo. Punto di confronto tra oriente ed occidente, l’identità e la riconoscibilità del mito mediterraneo sta proprio nella molteplicità e nelle diversità delle culture e dei popoli che nel “bacino” si affacciano. L’articolo individua alcuni degli aspetti attraverso i quali è possibile leggere l’influenza del mito mediterraneo nell’architettura contemporanea. Aspetti da intendersi quale monumentum nel senso del valore del monere, del ricordare l’inesauribile concettualizzazione del mythos la cui attualità sta propr…
The Circulation of Alabaster Copies of the Madonna of Trapani in the Mediterranean Area
2019
The diffusion of small religious works of art in the Mediterranean, in particular the alabaster copies of the fourteenth-century marble sculpture of the Madonna of Trapani, between the second half of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is very know. But it is important to interpret this diffusion not only within the historical-artistic context but also from a religious, economic and social viewpoint.
