The Norman myth in the artistic culture of Hapsburgs’ Sicily: identity construction and representation of power
2015
In Sicilia, nell’Ottocento, si assistette in architettura a un revival neonormanno che trovava in quel momento glorioso della storia isolana la legittimazione per rivendicazioni autonomiste mirate alla ricostituzione di un regno di Sicilia finalmente libero dal giogo borbonico e da Napoli. Tuttavia, un fenomeno culturale analogo si era già registrato nel corso del xvi secolo. Nel rinascimento siciliano, infatti, si guardò non soltanto al classicismo e alla Roma dei Cesari, ma anche all’eredità del medioevo normanno, nel tentativo forse di costruire un’identità per un’isola, come la Sicilia asburgica, non libera e melting pot di culture diverse. Il caso del mito normanno presenta, però, in s…
La cultura inglese e l’interesse per il patrimonio architettonico e paesaggistico in Sicilia, tra scoperte, evoluzione degli studi e divulgazione
2019
e will trace the evolution of an encounter between two cultures, the English and the SiSicilian culture, which, at a time of political and social change, discover the classical world and the Arab-Norman architecture. The enchanted charm of Sicily and its imposing and melancholic nature was crossed for two centuries by the exodus of an English world that will share the eternal romanticism of it throughout Europe, and is also represented by the exploit of publications requested and produced by the Anglo-Saxon world between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. John Ruskin arrived in Sicily in 1874 to discover the nature and the architecture of the island. A comparison with the English trav…

Normanowie w dziełach Geralda z Walii a świat bizantyński
2018
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the selscted works of one of the twelfth century Normans historian living in the British Isles, Gerald de Barri of Wales (1146-1223) in terms of knowledge of the Byzantine world and its correlation with the Normans (from England and Southern Italy). The term Byzantine world has been evolving for several decades. Today it refers no longer just to the land of the former East European Empire, which later transformed itself into the Greek Byzantium, but it can be referred to the Balans or the Kingdom of Normandy, while scientists are constantly expanding its borders with the help of other sciences such as archeology. We will do this based on his work…

Palermo e l'eredità Arabo-normanna
2015
La Palermo arabo-normanna mantiene viva la memoria di una città aperta, multietnica, riflesso e manifestazione di un sincretismo culturale che, nei secoli, l’ha resa unica e meritevole di essere custodita, valorizzata e riconosciuta come un autentico “gioiello”, patrimonio dell’umanità. Tra i monumenti arabo-normanni presenti, ne sono stati selezionati undici che preservano in modo pressoché integrale le componenti architettoniche e decorative e che si presentano in buono stato di conservazione. Si tratta infatti delle opere più rappresentative e artisticamente rilevanti nelle quali è possibile riconoscere inequivocabilmente i tratti salienti dell’arte arabo - normanna in tutte le sue mirab…
Castellaccio of Monreale: From the Survey to the Visualisation of Virtual Reconstructions
2023
On Monte Caputo near Monreale stands a castle, presumably built in the twelfth century. The paper presents the first results of a still in progress survey activity, carried out on the entire monument using laser scanning and photogram-metric methods. This activity was carried out as part of a scientific agreement stipu-lated between the University of Palermo, Department of Architecture and the Club Alpino Siciliano, owner of the Castle. The graphic restitution of the survey provided new information and unpublished images of the castle. It was then possible to formu-late hypotheses on the virtual reconstruction of lost configurations. This was achiev-able thanks to the survey analytical read…
