I Telamoni del Tempio di Zeus ad Agrigento: rilievi, disegni e ricostruzioni
2013
Oggetto dello studio qui presentato è la ricostruzione di un intercolumnio del fronte esterno del Tempio di Zeus ad Agrigento, basata sul rilievo del Telamone oggi custodito presso il Museo Archeologico, sugli studi e i numerosi saggi di ricostruzione proposti dagli studiosi dal XVIII secolo fino alla metà dello scorso secolo e sulla analisi strutturale del Telamone ricostruito nel Museo. The drawings of the telamones, the giant statues placed the front of the Temple of Zeus in the archaeological area of Agrigento, have fascinated some of the most famous neoclassical architects in Europe. The virtual reconstruction of one intercolumnial of the Temple, based both on the range-based survey of…
Nuove ricerche a Solunto (2021)
2021
New researches in Solunto (2021) · The paper presents an overview of the ongoing researches in Solunto by the University of Palermo. In 2021 stratigraphical sondages were undertaken in two areas of the town: 1) in the great sanctuary above the theatre, in the frame of a major project aimed at addressing several still unresolved issues. That area, as a matter of fact, has never been considered as a whole; the sacred buildings have not been studied, and their mutual relationships and the links with the adjacent terraces have never been properly examined; 2) in the North Baths near the agora, as a corollary of the systematic study of water management, some sondages were made by G. Polizzi. Fin…
Maison Particulière. Graphic Reading and Virtual Reconstruction
2021
De Stijl, a modern and avant-garde movement of the early twentieth century, is considered the link between the pre-1914 avant-garde and the post-1918 International Style. The name derives from the magazine founded in 1917 and used for the promotion of the ideals ofNeoplasticism, theorised by Theo VanDoesburg. In 1924 Van Doesburg published the essay Tot een beeldende architectuur in which he explained a 16 points manifesto on the neoplastic vision of modern architecture. The analysis of the drawings and contra-constructions and the comparative reading of all the original drawings allowed for a series of graphic interpretations, which made the project understandable. This interpretative-reco…
Redrawing the city and its historical transformations: two examples in Palermo
2015
The representation area is nowaday called upon to face new challenges for new computer technologies that have developed over the last few years. Visual communication and multimedia language experienced a radical change: representation and visualization, thought and image are based on the branch of communication and therefore on the trasmission of knowledge that cannot be separated from the interdisciplinarity. Digital imagery challenges more and more analog imagery, creating a scene that is independent from the constructed reality and sometimes reaching to overlap and merge with it: therefore the representation is no longer just a repetition of the real, but becomes itself an autonomous rea…
La chiesa e il convento di San Domenico a Cagliari nel XVI secolo.
Questa ricerca riguarda il convento di San Domenico a Cagliari e la riforma della fabbrica attuata nel corso del Cinquecento. Fondato nel borgo di Villanova nel versante est del castello di Cagliari nella seconda metà del XIII secolo, il convento di San Domenico raggiunse la sua massima espansione a partire dagli anni sessanta del XVI secolo, in seguito probabilmente all’introduzione nel convento della riforma domenicana. Le riforme spirituali e materiali del convento fecero parte di più vasto movimento di rinnovamento che coinvolse su larga scala il panorama sardo nel secondo Cinquecento, dovuto a molteplici fattori tra cui il riformismo monarchico di Filippo II e le riforme religiose avvi…
Ipotesi di ricostruzione virtuale della piazza maggiore a Noto Antica
2019
Today ancient Noto is a medieval archaeological site, yet to be discovered. After the 1693 earthquake, the ancient city of Noto, in the middle of the Baroque period, was rebuilt in another place and the ancient city was abandoned. The first excavation campaign in ancient Noto by Paolo Orsi dates back to the period between 1894 and 1896. In the following years there will be other excavation campaigns, in which other architectural and sculptural relics will be found. They are today part of the collection of the Civic Museum. The contribution focuses on the study of the piazza Maggiore (Main Square) site, the center of the ancient city and on the surrounding buildings. After analyzing the limi…
Un'ipotesi per la cattedrale di Iglesias
2015
This article focuses on the 3D virtual reconstruction of the first restoration project of the cathedral of San Maria in Iglesias (first half of 16th century). A complex work of renovation of the old medieval temple, which likely was meant to radically transform the presbytery of the church and to replace the previous timber roof truss of the nave with a simple ribbed vaults, as several clues seem to suggest. In the absence of archival data, the virtual reconstruction allowed to verify some hypotheses originated from the observation of material traces, ascribable to the construction phase of the building here analysed. Indirect proofs seem to suggest that a collapse, happened in an unspecifi…
AR to Rediscover Heritage: the Case Study of Salerno Defense System
2022
Recognizing and transmitting the uniqueness and identity of one’s territory represents fundamental step to guarantee its sustainability, protection and valorisation. Of particular importance, moreover, is the issues of the lesser-known heritage of great value but which, unfortunately, in some cases is still little known and often in a state of neglect. However, the diffusion of new technology and the great development of digitization positively contribute to the accessibility and visibility of these patrimonies, increasing the knowledge and the dissemination. This contribution focuses on one of the towers of the coastal defence system, a perfect example of a lesser-known architecture of gre…
The Cathedral of Palermo : from survey to historic interpretation
2013
The Cathedral of Palermo was built by the Norman Kings, in the place where a mosque had been erected by the muslim governors of Sicily. The church has many features recalling the norman churches in northern France and in England, whilst some others are due to the contamination of norman, muslim and byzantine culture, that is peculiar of the so-called “arab-norman” architecture of medieval Sicily. In the XVIth century the Cathedral has been enriched by additions that did not affect its medieval features: a portico and a sacristy on the southern front, a sculptural decoration in the main apse. It was at the end of the XVIIIth century that the church underwent huge and extensive transformation…
<em>L’entramès de Mestre Vicent</em>: resplandor de la autoridad del predicador
2019
El presente artículo aborda múltiples aspectos, algunos inéditos, referentes a l’entramès de Mestre Vicent. Entre los objetivos del estudio descuella la reconstrucción virtual y documentada de aquel carro que, quizá albergando la primera representación de Vicent Ferrer, desfiló en Valencia a finales de 1414 con ocasión de la entrada real de Fernando I. Otras cuestiones de especial relevancia atañen a la autoría del programa iconográfico y al proselitismo que denotaba aquella estructura, cuyos máximos beneficiarios fueron el Trastámara y la propia ciudad. Metodológicamente, se subraya la complejidad que entraña ceñir la interpretación del entremés amparada exclusivamente en la literatura, má…
