Pichi Sermolli’s work with his more than 2750 collections of plants from nearly 150 localities on the Lake Tana expedition in Ethiopia in 1937 was interrupted by World War II, but completed in 1947 at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the British Museum (Natural History), UK. It resulted in preliminary accounts of the vegetation published 1938-40 and a taxonomically arranged account in 1951, all in Italian. Pichi Sermolli’s observations are difficult to locate due to the imperfect maps of the time, but in this book the authors have reconstructed the sequence of the collections, georeferenced the localities, and updated the identifications of the species. By reconstructing Pichi Sermoll...
In this book, Giovanni Molteni Tagliabue asserts that the realization of the values and the implementation of the objectives as indicated in democratic constitutions (political, social rights and the people’s welfare) are hindered by structural defects of the legislative/government architecture and processes. Expertise and science have scarce say in politics and policy. The author suggests an innovative view through the ‘REDemo Project’. 1. Rationalization: the insertion of public scientists into legislative/executive mechanisms, with the creation in each democracy of a National Scientific Assembly – parallel to the extant partypolitical Chamber of Representatives – consisting of a...
The book meticulously analyses the history of the critical reception of avantguard art through the interpretations received by one of its greatest emblems, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon by Picasso, 1907. Since Les Demoiselles has been considered over this century the true paradigm of Modern Art, this book is, fundamentally, a sort of synthesis of the discourses about Modernism from formalism, iconology, Leo Steinberg's 'Other Criteria’, sociological, the biographical and psychoanalytical theses, cultural and historicist and lastly, the impact of post-structuralism and the feminist, post-colonialist and transnational interpretations. The final chapter deals with the artistic versions of Les Demoiselles d'Avignonmade by artists. It is an essay on the different versions and identities of Modern Art and Modernism that have been produced throughout the last century.
La prospettiva dell’età moderna nacque come un ponte gettato tra l’arte e la scienza. Essa dava necessità all’arte e rendeva visibile la scienza; il terreno di coltura fu quello dell’architettura, che da sempre impegnava in sinergia i cultori dell’una e dell’altra. L’ambito di pensiero in cui fu concepita si occupava degli argomenti più alti, l’universo e la terra: a partire dagli astronomi-geografi e dai topografi, si è costruita nel tempo come disciplina e metodo scientifico-artistico, derivando sistematicamente teoremi da teoremi, in un crescendo di complessità, che ha assunto forme talvolta acrobatiche, non aperte all’evidenza. Le tecniche prospettiche sviluppate n...
Cultural heritage identifies and preserves past achievements for the benefit of future generations. Examining the extent to which heritage preservation is feasible in an era governed by modernism and globalization is essential for both regional development and cultural conservation. Conservation, Restoration, and Analysis of Architectural and Archaeological Heritage provides innovative insights into digital technologies that have produced important methodological changes in the documentation, analysis, and conservation of cultural heritage. The content within this publication represents the work of digital restoration, inclusive communication, and reality-based representation. It is a vital reference source for software developers, sociologists, policymakers, tourism managers, and academicians seeking coverage on digital technologies and data processing in cultural heritage.

Questo convegno ha fra le sue priorità l’individuazione delle linee metodologiche per una corretta reinterpretazione dell’edilizia caratterizzante le frange urbane. Mentre nelle periferie le linee di futura pianificazione architettonica dovranno interessare non solo l’arredo urbano ma soprattutto ripensare ad una progettazione o un recupero funzionale di un’immagine architettonica degli immobili, per quello che riguarda il tessuto storico della città fondamentale sarà il recupero e la valorizzazione di quegli spazi, edifici e superfici che oggi anche in città rappresentano una risorsa fondamentale nel rilancio economico e professionale.
