Eracle e la cerva di Cerinea del Museo Archeologico “A. Salinas” di Palermo. Dall’originale ai calchi moderni per la didattica e l’arredo privato
2021
Il testo, partendo da un inedito calco in gesso patinato della prima metà del ‘900 rinvenuto sul mercato antiquario, analizza il gruppo bronzeo con Eracle e la cerva di Cerinea del Museo Archeologico “A. Salinas” di Palermo da cui è tratto (fine I sec. a.C. – I sec. d.C.), descrivendone il tipo iconografico e individuandone l’archetipo lisippeo, attraverso il raffronto con esempi di età imperiale, tardo-antica e medievale. L’opera, ritrovata a Pompei nel 1805, fu donata al Museo dell’Università di Palermo nel 1831 per la munificenza dei Borbón/Farnese, di cui si approfondiscono almeno due episodi di illuminata committenza artistica per la città durante il soggiorno di Ferdinando I re delle …
Two Borderline Works: The Miniature Classical Friezes by John Henning
2020
The plaster replicas of two miniaturized reproductions of the Parthenon and Bassae friezes are preserved at the Plaster Cast Gallery of the Department Cultures and Societies of the University of Palermo. The original reproductions were made by the Scottish carver John Henning in the first decades of the 19th century. These artefacts, although they have seldom captured the attention of the archaeologists, are of particular interest and from manifold points of view.
La Gipsoteca del Dipartimento Culture e Società dell'Università degli Studi di Palermo. Storia e catalogo
2017
Il volume presenta, per la prima volta, la storia e il catalogo della Gipsoteca del Dipartimento Culture e Società dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo. Si tratta di un’importante raccolta di calchi in gesso di sculture antiche, voluta da Antonino Salinas (1841-1914) ai tempi del suo magistero accademico e ora completamente riordinata, grazie a un nuovo allestimento curato dallo stesso autore di questo libro. The volume presents, for the first time, the history and catalog of the Gipsoteca of the Culture and Society Department of the University of Palermo. This is an important collection of plaster casts of ancient sculptures, commissioned by Antonino Salinas (1841-1914) at the time of hi…
Il recupero e la manutenzione della Gipsoteca di scultura antica del Dipartimento Culture e Società dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo
2018
The Department Cultures and Societies of the University of Palermo in Italy owns a collection of forty plaster casts of ancient sculpture, dating back to the age of the academic teaching of Antonino Salinas (1841- 1914). In the intentions of the great archaeologist of Palermo, the plaster cast collection was of unavoidable help to teach classical art, in line with the contemporary usages of the Italian and foreign Universities. In the following decades, as everywhere, the collection progressively ended up by losing its central position in the study of archaeology, according to the transformations and the developments of the discipline over the twentieth century. In the latest times, all the…
« Dans le goût de l’antique »
2021
L’interet pour le patrimoine universitaire des universites de Besancon et de Dijon nous a recemment conduits a entreprendre un programme de recherche sur le patrimoine pedagogique lie a l’enseignement de l’histoire de l’art et de l’archeologie a l’echelle de notre region Bourgogne - Franche-Comte (voir ici : https://ista.univ-fcomte.fr/projet-scientifique/projet-moulages). Dans l’etude des photographies argentiques diffusees par les maisons parisiennes (telle Giraudon), des plaques photographiques, des ouvrages de litterature specialisee acquis par nos bibliotheques et des collections de moulages en plâtre constituees a la fin du xixe siecle, nous avons mis en relation les collections des e…
Peek polymer in orthodontics : a pilot study on children
2017
The purpose of the study has been making the orthodontic space maintainers in PEEK polymer (Polyetheretherketone) through a digital workflow. New digital technologies are taking hold in diagnosis, therapy and in dental laboratories. The digital world can help dentist in diagnosis and therapy: -diagnosis through the acquisition of radiographic images (CBCT) or scanners which allow the creation of 3D digital models - about therapy thanks to dental CAD CAM system. It consists of design devices through an dedicated software CAD and then realize devices through CAM system. We used digital system to improve the quality of the treatment and reduce costs. Peek polymer, subject of studies in recent …
La Gipsoteca del Dipartimento Culture e Società e il valore didattico delle raccolte di calchi in gesso di scultura antica
2020
The recent opening of the Plaster Cast Collection of the Department Cultures and Societies at the University of Palermo, after a long recovery and restoration work, is the starting point for some considerations about today’s possibilities of use of the academic plaster cast galleries of ancient sculpture. These collections, since their origin devoted to serve as a help for teaching the history of ancient art, and above all the Greek sculpture, are still worthy of interest. First of all they attest an important moment of the scientific history of the subject. But they can be also useful for the present study of ancient art, on condition that we are always aware of the functional and decontex…

VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF MEASUREMENTS OF THE PARAMETERS OF SMILE AESTHETICS: A COMPARISON BETWEEN DIGITAL AND PLASTER MODELS
2020
This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the TRIOS3 Color intraoral scanner (3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark) and its associated Ortho Analyzer™ software in measuring parameters of smile aesthetics compared with measurements on plaster casts. The study sample comprised plaster casts and digital models obtained from 30 subjects. Height (H), mesiodistal diameter (MDD) and connecting space (CS) of the anterior teeth were measured with a digital calliper on the plaster models and with the orthodontic software on the digital models. Validity was assessed using a 2-tailed paired t-test; the reliability of measurements for intra-examiner was evaluated with the Intra-class Correl…
A comparison between dental measurements taken from CBCT models and those taken from a digital method.
2011
The aims of the study were to assess speed, reliability, accuracy, and reproducibility in measuring mesiodistal tooth sizes, bicanine widths, bimolar widths, and arch lengths (ALs) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to compare them with the same measurements obtained using a two-dimensional (2D) Digital Method. Plaster study models were made for 27 patients and then digitalized and measured using a 2D Digital Method. CBCTs were undertaken on the same 27 patients using the Dental Picasso Master 3D® and the images obtained were then analysed using the InVivoDental program. The correlation study of the two measuring methods, which were compared by determining the regression paramet…
