I resti scheletrici della grotta di S. Teodoro presso il Museo Gemmellaro di Palermo: il nuovo restauro conservativo di ST2
2013
The work describes the restoration of the cranium ST2 of the Epipalaeolithic site of S. Teodoro, Sicily. This restoration has been conducted in accordance to modern criteria of conservation limiting the integrative and reconstructive interpretation to the minimum. After the restauration ST2 has been morphologically described and measured. The fortuitous recovery of a left incus bone allowed its morphological and metrical description.

Energy savings in building restoration - an applicative case
2012
Italy has a historical and architectural heritage which consists mainly of buildings built in different historical period. These buildings are today characterized by some aspects of functional distribution and comfort, which need rehabilitation. This is related to the change thinking on a more comfortable distribution of spaces, and improving the sustainability of buildings. These issues have spurred the study of methods to improve the distribution of spaces, the performance of indoor comfort and the energy efficiency in the full respect of materiality and aesthetics of the building. Therefore, the aim of this rehabilitation is improving the indoor comfort, the energy efficiency and the env…
Il Restauro del Moderno: un’esperienza di ricerca nel Dottorato
2019
Il primo volume della collana Architetti italiani del Novecento ci presenta una riflessione di architetti e studiosi di differenti generazioni sull'architettura d'autore del secondo Novecento, sempre più oggetto, in particolare in questi ultimi anni, di complessi interventi di adeguamento, manutenzione, ridestinazione funzionale, che spesso rischiano di compromettere l'integrità dell'opera alterandone la forma espressiva, il linguaggio e la percezione originari. Il saggio parte dall’esperienza di ricerca affrontata nel corso di dieci anni di studio, nell’ambito del Dottorato di ricerca in Progettazione e Architettonica di Palermo sul tema del “Restauro del Moderno”, e pone in evidenza l’ult…
Il progetto del Museo del Mare a Palermo tra storia, ordine e regole dell’architettura
2020
The article deals with the theme of contemporary re-construction of a part of an ancient building of great architectural significance: the Arsenal of Palermo. The part of the building facing the sea and of most architectural value has remained intact; instead, it was destroyed the part where they built the ships. In addition to basic themes, it will also discuss the issue of rules in architecture: the theme of restoration as architectural project; the theme of the architectural design in the ancient city and in the Mediterranean cities. The project is characterized by the order and quality of light, and has a special role in Palermo for the substantial rejection of the Plan to modern archit…
RESTORING THE CITY CENTER, PLANNING AND POLICIES
2011
The Intervention on urban fabric and open spaces in the historical city. The article describes the restoration process of Palermo’s historical centre. The process has been discontinuous and fragmented, so that presently, extremely degraded urban areas still coexist with highly desirable areas characterized by first-rate restoration. Palermo’s experience with urban revitalization and development of an impoverished historical city centre demonstrates the need for urban planning that is systematically supported by effective public policies and that never loses sight of preserving the soul of the city.
Il ruolo della cultura inglese nella definizione del restauro come disciplina
2013
Il capitolo V nel volume Restauro Anno Zero (a cura di Francesco Tomaselli) evidenzia il contributo della cultura inglese alla definizione del Restauro come disciplina e rende noti in Italia documenti finora non tradotti, tra cui le "Carte della Conservazione dei Monumenti e dei Resti Antichi" valide in tutto il Regno Unito (1862 prima vers.), i documenti della SPAB e alcune lettere di William Morris. I margini temporali vanno dai primi studi del sito preistorico di Stonehenge (anni '60 del XVIII sec.) alla fondazione del National Trust (1895, da un'idea di John Ruskin). La ricerca, in particolare, offre approfondimenti originali sulla protesta internazionale avviata nel 1879 dalla Society …
DIO SALVI IL RESTAURO. L’apporto inglese alla cultura della conservazione dei monumenti
2020
Sebbene già riuscissimo a percepire quanto rilevante fosse l’apporto inglese per aver contribuito alla definizione del restauro modernamente inteso, sino ad oggi mancavano ancora sia una chiara visione d’insieme delle articolate vicende connesse all'affermazione dei princìpi conservativi, sia una più approfondita conoscenza delle fonti documentarie, necessarie al fine di tracciare i profili culturali dei protagonisti e scandagliarne i contributi teorici. La ricostruzione delle vicende è sviluppata entro margini temporali estesi all'incirca per tre secoli, dalla fine del Seicento al principio del Nove-cento, e strutturata attraverso la traduzione e lo studio di testi perlopiù mai circolati i…
Il dibattito culturale attorno alle prime sperimentazioni di tutela attiva dei monumenti architettonici
2022
In Sicily the first service of active protection of monuments was experimented with a law of Ferdinand IV Borbone, who named the princes of Biscari and Torremuzza ‘royal guardians’ and Carlo Chenchi ‘architect of antiquities’. In that period, the temple of Segesta was restored, which had been damaged by lightning in 1726 which struck the eastern façade and a column was built with different stones which, a few years later, was declared too distinguishable. In the cathedral of Palermo in 1835 the construction of a neo-Gothic bell tower was completed based on a project by the architect Emanuele Palazzotto, which replaced the Baroque one built after the earthquake of 1726. Restoration has perha…
Birth and affirmation of the principle of "minimal intervention" in the practice of restoration in the United Kingdom (19th c.)
2014
This paper traces the history of nineteenth-century restoration in the UK by high-lighting the events, theories and documents that will lead for the first time in Eu-rope at the maturation of the restoration discipline. The world of architecture and the possibility of a physical survival of monuments found a professional and ethi-cal dimension that can be considered sustainable in many subjects. The confusing and arbitrary stylistic restoration, with all its contradictions and unruly, is recog-nized as a deleterious practice to the conservation of ancient buildings. Some architects addressing the restoration to the stylistic unity became the target of a growing collective movement that chal…
