Essenze e colori di un giardino cintato. Una passeggiata romantica nel parco del Castello
No full textIl castello Bonoris di Montichiari è uno dei più importanti edifici neogotici presenti sul territorio bresciano. Venne commissionato dal conte Gaetano Bonoris che, in considerazione dei rapporti con la corte sabauda, volle esemplare questa sua dimora sul modello torinese di Alfredo d'Andrade costruito per l'Esposizione Nazionale del 1884. Il contributo traccia la storia del progetto per il giardino del castello, elaborato nel 1901 dall'architetto torinese Giuseppe Roda, al fine di individuarne le diverse scelte compositive dettate dalla moda del giardino all'inglese e dalla profonda passione botanica coltivata dal conte Bonoris

Analisi geometrica e documentale di affreschi nel castello di Malpaga
No full textL’articolo prende in esame l’applicazione di tecniche fotogrammetriche, su base stereoscopica, per la realizzazione di un modello spaziale, di elevata precisione, di elementi decorativi del Castello del Colleoni a Malpaga. Il modello consente di correlare la geometria degli affreschi, presenti sulle pareti delle sale d’onore, alla conformazione e alla morfologia delle superfici murarie. Diviene così possibile creare un supporto geometrico per la georeferenziazione delle informazioni tematiche del dipinto e per le indagini diagnostiche e conservative sull’intonaco e sulla superficie pittorica

Update of the Italian Seismic Catalog (2003-2007) Catalogo della Sismicità Italiana CSI v2.0
No full textEarthquake catalogues are the basic tools that furnish parametric data for seismic hazard evaluation, studies on evolution of seismic sequences and earthquake occurrence. The INGV seismic network
covers a large part of the italian region and it is complemented by several regional permanent network handled by other institutions. CSI results from the combination of INGV seismic bulletin with bulletins
produced by other institutions. To update CSI from previous release to version 2.0 we collected seismic bulletins sent to INGV from, at present, 12 institutions managing permanent seismic networks during
2003-2007. Procedures to convert different file formats to PHS format as input files of Hypoellipse program have been setup that also perform preliminary checks on possible errors.
To correctly merge different seismic bulletins it is mandatory to have a strict control on phase associations. To do this, additional procedures to identify earthquakes external to the interest area and wrong
associations of different earthquakes based on geographic control network associations and stations' residuals after event location have been produced.
About 35,000 eartquakes, a mean value of ~6600 earthquakes per year, with more than 600.000 P-phase arrivals and more then 250,000 S-phase arrivals have been collected and located with Hypoellipse.
To enhance final locations quality we applied a multiple location approach and then selected the best among several calculated hypocentres for each event. Location criteria are based on the use of two different
weighting schemes for stations' distance combined with several reference regional 1D velocity models.
Native Ml Magnitudes from 2003 to 2007 are retrieved and then associated to the corresponding event from INGV bulletin. When native Ml is not available, Ml based on regression law by Castello et al.
2007, is attributed.
The update of CSI catalog, also due to the strong improvement of the INGV seismic network between 2005 and present, offers a more complete image of the Italian seismicity and a new important reference
for further studies on the evolution of this region and earthquake occurrence.UnpublishedUniversità RomaTRE2T. Tettonica attivaope

Il dissesto idrogeologico e la messa in sicurezza del castello di Cusercoli
No full textNel piccolo borgo medievale di Cusercoli, all’interno dell’antica rocca, e stato costituito il 17 giugno 2006 il Laboratorio di Archeoingegneria CAILab, che afferisce al Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale (DIN) dell’Alma Mater Studiorum - Universita di Bologna e che fa parte della sede di Forli della Scuola di Ingegneria e Architettura. Il Castello di Cusercoli costituisce, un raro caso di compresenza di tecniche costruttive di differenti periodi, la cui anatomia risulta di facile lettura per lo stato di conservazione in cui il manufatto verte oggi. Proprio in virtù di questa caratteristica, il monumento si qualifica per lo sviluppo della funzione museale, in relazione a quanto il complesso ha da raccontare, come caso esemplificativo dell’architettura della tradizione territoriale; questo tipo di fruizione può essere integrato e potenziato proprio con la presenza dell’Università, sfruttando i rapporti già instaurati ed offrendo così agli studenti l’occasione di apprendere esercitandosi in prima persona sul campo, contribuendo attivamente al progetto del Museo dell’Anatomia dell’Architettura. Il castello di Cusercoli rappresenta un caso emblematico di tentativi di messa in sicurezza di un sito storico con gravi problematiche
geologico-strutturali in cui gli interventi che sono stati realizzati nel tempo risultano privi di un’adeguata pianificazione. L’attenzione per il castello di Cusercoli è motivata dalla necessita di non perdere quel complesso di valori di cui si evidenzia la testimonianza delle tradizionali tecniche costruttive locali, delle quali si va perdendo la memoria storica
'A date with Barbara': paracosms of the self in biographies of Barbara Newhall Follett
No full textIn 1927, 13-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett published her first book, the critically acclaimed novel, The House Without Windows and Eepersip's Life There.
Twelve years later, on December 7, 1939, 25-year-old Barbara quarrelled with her husband and left her apartment in Boston with $30 in her pocket, and a notebook. She was never seen again.
The House Without Windows is set in a paracosm (Farksolia) she invented, and ends with the metamorphosis of the titular character into a 'fairy-a wood nymph … invisible for ever to all mortals, save those few who have minds to believe, eyes to see'.
In Barbara's (auto)biography, The Unconscious Autobiography of a Child Genius (1966), written by Harold Grier McCurdy 'in collaboration with Helen Follett' (Barbara's mother), the authors wonder: 'Can we be far wrong in substituting Barbara's name for Eepersip's in the closing scenes of [House Without Windows]?
In this paper, I grapple with the formal and ethical challenges of writing about Barbara Newhall Follett, and the ways her family and others have approached the problem of writing her unresolved life story: a child raised and educated in solitude, a celebrated 'natural' child author, a young woman whose disappearance remains unsolved. The paper will explore the ways in which adults write the stories of children's lives, as nostalgia and fable, as fairytale and paracosmic narrative, and the ways in which Barbara's biographers have, consciously and unconsciously, created biographical concordances, or paracosms of the self, in seeking to make meaning of her life's story
