Geography Palermo – which, with a population of nearly 700,000, is one of the largest cities in Italy – is located in a beautiful position in the centre of a large bay enclosed by the imposing headland of Monte Pellegrino to the north and Capo Zafferano to the south. Behind it lies a small plain known as Conca d’Oro (Golden Basin) to the fertility of its land where citrus and olive groves thrive. An important feature of the layout of the city’s historic centre is the intersection of Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Via Maqueda, determining the division of the city into four districts, called mandamenti. -

TOWERS, URNS AND CASTLETS. HISTORICAL Tiziana Firrone EVIDENCE OF ANCIENT SYSTEMS OF WATER SUPPLY AND CONVEYANCE IN PALERMO Introduction The water flowing from the tap of our homes accounts for the final step of a long and complicated route beaten by time and man. The traces that water has left and continues to let in the natural environment and in social fields are indelible, as well as signs left by man, testimonies that the time preserves and history delivered to us and which together form a dense texture that overlaps the physical layout of the environment, integrating and modifying it1. Great works, monuments universally recognized as masterpieces of the mind and of human hands, but also lesser works, everyday artifacts, isolated real estate that make up the elements of a wider Fig. 1 – San Vito urn.

Sicilian Chinese Art Collections and Chinoiserie
ARCHITETTURA, ARTI E PIANIFICAZIONE DIPARTIMENTO DI ARCHITETTURA L-ART 04 – MUSEOLOGIA E CRITICA ARTISTICA E DEL RESTAURO SICILIAN CHINESE ART COLLECTIONS AND CHINOISERIE IL DOTTORE IL COORDINATORE Mei Xiaoxue Prof. Marco Rosario Nobile IL TUTOR CO TUTOR Prof. Pierfrancesco Palazzotto Dr. Alexander Auf der Heyde CICLO XXX 2018 ABSTRACT L'Europa ha creato uno stile unico di design decorativo nei secoli XVII-XVIII che è stato profondamente ispirato allo stile orientale di Cina, Giappone e India. Lo stile europeo è rimasto sconosciuto alla Cina in quel momento, ed è anche raramente menzionato nella storia dell'arte moderna e del design cinese. Tuttavia, la Chinoiserie ha rappresentato un tema ricorrente all'interno degli stili artistici europei, che non si presenta come una moda regionale, ma bensì come un movimento d'arte complesso e variabile in tutta Europa. La significativa ricerca sul design Chinoiserie è stata intrapresa nei XX-XXI secoli, con centinaia di monografie e articoli pubblicati in inglese, francese, tedesco e italiano, discutendo direttamente e indirettamente della Chinoiserie. La Sicilia, la più grande isola del Mediterraneo, ha un brillante patrimonio storico e culturale. Nella prima metà del XIX secolo, la Sicilia e il Regno di Napoli furono uniti nel Regno delle Due Sicilie dalla Casa di Borbone. La Chinoiserie fu introdotta in Sicilia un po' più tardi come stile decorativo ben sviluppato dopo essere stato influenzato in un certo grado negli altri paesi europei. Nonostante il numero limitato di prodotti orientali in Sicilia, le opere d'arte uniche qui sono encomiabili. Questa tesi interpreta la Chinoiserie Siciliana in quattro aspetti principali: le opere d‘arte tradizionali della Cina, i prodotti cinesi di esportazione, i prodotti mimetici dell‘Europa e la Chinoiserie siciliana all'interno del movimento d'arte europeo. -
SECURING of BREAK-ENDANGERED TREE CROWNS Klaus Schröder Urban Forestry Service - Osnabrück
76 International Congress on The Trees of History SECURING OF BREAK-ENDANGERED TREE CROWNS Klaus Schröder Urban Forestry Service - Osnabrück Abstract Breaking-off of crown parts, forks and large branches are the most common types of failure of urban trees (WILDE, 1996), resulting in substantial damage to objects and persons. Additionally, the trees are also often irreversibly damaged. Reasons for this type of failure usually include bark in forks, decay or fractures in branches. As an alternative to lop crowns or felling hazardous trees, systems for securing of break-endangered tree crowns were developed. One of the first of these systems was the double belt System Osnabrück, conceived by the green-department of the City of Osnabrück, Germany (SCHRÖDER, 1990). Introduction Creatures of nature are normally adapted to withstand weather because regular recurrent situations have resulted in optimising processes of permanent adaption and selection over a long period of time. As an example of such creations of nature, trees are often exposed to extreme weather and they must resist storm, rain, snow and ice. Forces with an impact of some tons must be withstood. The experience of arborists shows, that straight grown trees, as well as certain types of branches best resist the rigours of the weather, whereas other shapes fail in this respect under the same conditions. Rugged tree crowns can be achieved with simple methods such as planting correctly grown trees and proper breeding pruning adapted to the actual development of the trees. Consequently, the implementation of crown securing systems would not become necessary. However, in case of the old tree population with problematic crowns preventive measures cannot help and it is for these old trees that crown securing systems have been developed. -
