The restoration of Santa Maria delle Grazie Church in Santa Margherita di Belice (Sicily): conservation of the of the architectural remains and criti…
2015
Nelle zone terremotate della Valle del Belice in Sicilia, molte demolizioni e ripristini stilistici sono stati effettuati, ma – tra i pochi interventi condotti secondo i canoni condivisi della disciplina del restauro – deve essere ricordato lo pseudo-completamento della chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie a Santa Margherita di Belice. L’intervento ha tradotto nella prassi esecutiva del cantiere un gesto progettuale fondato sulla conservazione dell’irriproducibile sostanza materica superstite e la raffinata e sensibile ridefinizione dell’involucro. Una teca di legno, vetro e metallo ha riformato il volume della chiesa accostandosi alla porzione absidale e alla parete ancora presenti. La scans…
Per una scienza “probabile” del progetto di architettura
2013
For a science "probable" of the architectural design Emanuele Palazzotto The definition of the research work that has been developed by the PhD in Architectural Design of Palermo around the theme of "Restoration of the Modern" today offers us the opportunity to advance a broader reflection, pushing us in the field of epistemology of architectural design, starting by that definition of "science of project for the architecture of the artifact" that has characterized the work done in the last years. In this paper we are interested to investigate especially the premise of this research work, a premise that well describes the epistemological approach that supported the teaching and research meth…
3D structural modeling and restoration of the Apennine-Maghrebian chain in Sicily: Application for non-cylindrical fold-and-thrust belts
2019
International audience; Thirteen seismic reflection profiles and field observations have been used to build a three-dimensional watertight geological model of the sub-surface architecture of the Trapanese carbonate platform unit of the Apennine-Maghrebian chain in the Mt. Kumeta and Mt. Rocca Busambra (NW Sicily, Italy). Either a single step or a two-step thrust-fault deformation model is acceptable on the basis of seismic interpretation but the integration of 3D model reconstruction and 3D geomechanical restoration, validates only the scenario with a single stage of deformation.The 3D model highlights along strike variations of the structural style for the Trapanese unit where pre-existing…
<title>Restoration of a short-exposure image sequence degraded by atmospheric turbulence</title>
2000
This paper deals with the restoration of the shape of an object observed with a high-resolution infrared imaging device, through atmospheric turbulence. The propagation path is quite long (a few tenth kilometer) and the image is thus disturbed. A sequence of short-exposure images of the interesting object is recorded. We can see that the object shape fluctuates randomly during the sequence, but that its edges remain sharp, thanks to the very short exposure time. A bayesian analysis of the Fourier descriptors associated to the edges shows that the optimal shape is the one corresponding to the mean Fourier descriptors. We thus propose two ways to estimate this shape. The first one consists in…

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-02-07 Background: Functional redundancy has been debated largely in ecology and conservation, yet we lack detailed empirical studies on the roles of functionally similar species in ecosystem function. Large bodied frugivores may disperse similar plant species and have strong impact on plant recruitment in tropical forests. Th…
RETTORIA DI CASA PROFESSA - PALERMO LE TERMITI SUGLI ARREDI LIGNEI DELLA SACRESTIA
2012
"Rettoria di Casa Professa" - Palermo. The Termites on Wooden Forniture of the Sacristy. Termites are among the most important agents of wood degradation. They can attack wooden structures (roofs ceiling) or works of art (choirs, altars,wardrobes) causing serious damage to the historical, artistic and ethno-anthropological heritage especially when there are favourable environmental conditions for their growth. High wood moisture is the most important factor that favours termite settlements, it is frequently due to water condensation which is related to the closely contact of the wood with materials (masonry, metal, plastic) having a different thermal coefficient. Observations were carried o…
Anthropomorphic wooden reliquaries an integrated approach to restoration
2015
Two wood anthropomorphic reliquaries, belonging to Lipsanoteca of Epiphany Church, Trapani (Italy), were restored following procedures based on an interdisciplinary approach. The historic-artistic contextualization, constitutive materials and executive techniques were defined. Degradation events were correlated to physical-chemical factors, with particular attention to biodeteriogens. Insect infestation was revealed, by optical (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of rosume and insect body remains, Anobium punctatum was identified. Microbial colonization was revealed and characterized by an integrated approach based on OM (Lugol’s staining), in vitro culture and molecular investigati…
ANTHROPOMORPHIC WOODEN RELIQUARIES FROM KNOWLEDGE TO RESTORATIOI{
2014
Two wood anthropomorphic reliquaries, belonging to the Lipsanoteca of Epiphany Church in Trapani (Ita1y) were restored following the consewative restoration procedures based on an interdisciplinary approach. The hystoric-artistic contextualization, the constitutive rnaterials and executive techniques were defined and physical-chemical-biological factors involved in degradation events were evaluated. The Saints relic (human bone or teeth), present in each reliquary were analysed through visual investigation. After restoration, the manufacts showed their peculiarities and their extraordinary cultural value.
