La ricostruzione tridimensionale e il restauro virtuale di una tomba etrusca dipinta dell’Etruria meridionale interna: la “Grotta Dipinta” di Pranzov…
2015
[EN] The paper concerns the 3D reconstruction and virtual restoration of a painted rock-cut chamber tombs located in the interior of Southern Etruria (Viterbo Province, Central Italy). The tomb was discovered in 1901 in a place named Pranzovico and it dates from the mid-fifth century BC; it has a cross plan with central atrium (decorated with paintings) and three chambers in which there are the rock-cut funerary beds. The paintings have been largely destroyed by illegal excavators in the days immediately following the discovery; during the 20th century it was damaged due to agricultural works in the surroundings and now it is partially filled up. Its 3D reconstruction is based on the scarce…
Web 2.0: Is the Museum-Visitor Relationship Being Redefined?
2015
International audience; Museums' growing integration of Web 2.0 techniques is indicative of their readiness to redefine their relationship with their audience. While visitors were traditionally kept at arm's length, the use of these techniques now involves them at every stage in implementing the museum offer online. By scrutinizing the Web sites of institutions and the tools they use, the authors are able to highlight the different roles that now fall to the audience in terms of communication, mediation and artistic creation. The authors go on to analyze the ramifications of visitor involvement. While such involvement may well add to audience competencies and make museums more accessible an…
Zoological Checklists: From Natural History Museums to Ecosystems
2023
Backwards and forwards at once, the zoological checklists bring the past into the present and draw a direction towards the future. They cover historical and current information providing open data for environmental issues. The present-day research framework aims to produce papers reporting lists of animal species, after a couple of decades of absolute refusal of such inventories, years where the prevalence of studies has been focused on ecological or molecular statistics. Now, the contemporary era is moving towards the gathering of organized data, shared on web platforms, and cross-linked in a sort of global metadata outcome. It means that a single record of the occurrence of a species can …
An improved high yield method to obtain microsatellite genotypes from red deer antlers up to 200 years old.
2013
Analysis of DNA from older samples, such as museum specimen, is a promising approach to studying genetics of populations and ecological processes across several generations. Here, we present a method for extracting high quality nuclear DNA for microsatellite analysis from antlers of red deer (Cervus elaphus). The genotyping of individuals was based on nine microsatellite loci. Because the amount of DNA found in antlers was high, we could reduce the amount of sample and chemicals used and shorten the decalcification time in comparison to other methods. Using these methods, we obtained genotypes from antlers up to 200 years old.
Translating migration: digital narratives, (anti) museums in action and documentaries
2016
This article investigates the modalities through which the migrant crisis is portrayed in the creative artistic sector that, in turn, has accelerated the spread of political participatory and activist movements in the areas of subtitling and amateur translation. This innovative trend involving the sphere of translation has been acting as an important stimulus for the international mushrooming of artistic creativities on public spaces and digital platforms, but also for the formation of new views on translation and interpretation as actively contributing to the reframing of the political aspects of the migrant crisis. Such a counter wave of artistic productions has emerged within a Europe th…
MQ, MUSEUM QUARTIER, WIEN
2009
Con l’articolo che segue si apre una nuova sezione della rivista dedicata al design della comunicazione, che offrirà al lettore uno spazio di conoscenza e riflessione su temi che riguardano in vario modo la comunicazione visiva e il sistema dei beni culturali. Tema importante e attuale del quale mi occupo ormai da parecchi anni, sia in termini di didattica sia in termini di ricerca, e che mi ha condotto alla pubblicazione del libro La comunicazione dei beni culturali, edito da Lupetti. Gli articoli riguarderanno le principali realtà museali o i luoghi della cultura, a livello nazionale e internazionale, e la descrizione dei sistemi di identità visiva da loro adottati. In questo cercherò sem…
Preservation in Disaster Situations: a case study of the Valvilla Wool Mill Museum, Finland
2013
This article discusses the role of documentation and rescue planning in minimizing collection damages in disaster situations. The topic is surveyed through a case study of a fire that occurred in 2003 at the Valvilla Wool Mill museum in Hyvinkää, in Southern Finland. This incident caused significant damage to the authenticity and integrity of the museum’s archival collection. Both the fire and the extinguishing of the fire caused severe damage to items in the archival collection. Deterioration continued during aftercare, causing serious secondary collection damage because the methods of the first aid and aftercare were spontaneously planned and applied. By using the Valvilla Wool Mill museu…
The blog as a communication tool : an analysis of Finnish museums' blogs
2016
Bloggaaminen on ollut tasaisesti nousussa oleva trendi sosiaalisessa mediassa 1990-luvun lopulta alkaen. Sosiaalisesta mediasta löytyy monenlaisia blogeja eri aiheista ja eri aloilta. Uusi järjestöjen blogilaji ilmestyi 2000-luvun alussa, nimittäin museoblogi. Museoiden läsnäolo sosiaalisessa mediassa on kasvanut merkittävästi viime vuosikymmeninä, ja samalla museot muuttuivat enemmän yleisösuuntautuneiksi ja avoimiksi uusille viestintämahdollisuuksille. Bloggaaminen on uusi tapa lisätä museoiden läsnäoloa sosiaalisessa mediassa, kommunikoida ja olla vuorovaikutuksessa kävijöiden kanssa sekä markkinoida palvelujaan. Tämä tutkimus analysoi neljäkymmentäkuusi suomalaista museoblogia korostama…
