The Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia – Osservatorio Etneo (INGV-OE) manages a permanent local seismic network in Eastern Sicily, with the aim of monitoring the main tectonic areas (Iblei, Peloritani) and active Sicilian volcanoes (Etna, Vulcano, Stromboli). This network enables locating low magnitude earthquakes and detecting low energy signals that are typical of active volcanic areas (e.g. volcanic tremor, explosion quakes, LP events). Apart from Mt. Etna and the Aeolian islands, another area characterized by active volcanism is the Sicily Channel, with the volcanic edifices of Pantelleria and Linosa islands. The emergence (and subsequent disappearance after about two months) in 1831 of the Ferdinandea island, as well as the Foerstner island in 1891 (about 4 km north of Pantelleria), is the most reliable and recent evidence of volcanism in the Sicily Channel, which is undersea for the most part (Fig. 1). Since there are only a few onshore areas in the Sicily Channel, it is therefore difficult to instrumentally detect its seismicity with traditional onshore networks, with the exception of locating the foci of high-energy earthquakes, which often have poor azimuthal constraints.

Determination of toxic metals was performed by Pollution Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The toxicological data for every toxic element has Toxicity been applied to evaluate the risk for the consumer by calculating the amount of potentially toxic element that Human health would ingest an average of 60 kg weight individual adult. The analysis of the investigated samples shows a high Contamination level of metal contamination which can be linked both to the polluted water and air. The obtained results give us an idea about the agricultural products contamination and possible exposure of local people through the food chain. 1.

Guglielmini Ph.D in Recovery and Use of Ancient Contests, D.P.C.E., Department of Project and Building Construction, University of Palermo, Viale delle Scienze, 90128 Palermo, Italy [email protected] KEY WORDS: Cultural Heritage, Urban, Planning, Management, Thematic, System, Value-added. ABSTRACT: Present study analyze the building structures in the Ancient Poggioreale (Architectonical Site, it’s situated in Trapani’s province), destroyed by an earthquake in 1968 and actually abandoned. The aim is to transform the country in a study-yard, an open-sky laboratory, which should be articulated to different aspects: historical, architectonic, economics and cultural. THE KNOWLEDGE PROJECT Introduction In the within of the research activities of XVIII cycle∗ of Ph. Doctorate in Recovery and Use of Ancient Contests, has been stipulated a Convention between the Communal Committee of Poggioreale and the D.P.C.E. (Department of Project and Building Construction) of the University of Palermo, in order to develop a scientific work, aimed to the enhancement of the Ancient Poggioreale Architectonical Site, destroyed by an earthquake in 1968 and actually abandoned. The aim is to transform the country in a study-yard, an open-sky laboratory, which should be articulated to different aspects: historical, architectonic, economics and cultural. The outline proposal is inspired from the physics and environmental Figure 1. The territorial organization characteristics of the site and previews a series of actions on the same district aimed to preserve the ruderal outlook already The urban organization taken by the town. What gave the input for the project survey were the parameters of the recovery and re-use, which involve Poggioreale has been classified as “Historic Centre of new urban-reclassification matters and the characteristic’s analysis foundation” by the “Regional Landscape Plan”.

Accepted 28 November 2012 Published The Messina Strait, that separates peninsular Italy from Sicily, is one of the most seismically active areas of 13 December 2012 the Mediterranean. The structure and seismotectonic setting of the region are poorly understood, although the area is highly populated and important infrastructures are planned there. New seismic reflection data have identified a number of faults, as well as a crustal scale NE-trending anticline few km north of the strait. These features are interpreted as due to active right-lateral transpression along the north-eastern Sicilian Correspondence and offshore, coexisting with extensional and right-lateral transtensional tectonics in the southern Messina requests for materials Strait. This complex tectonic network appears to be controlled by independent and overlapping tectonic settings, due to the presence of a diffuse transfer zone between the SE-ward retreating Calabria subduction should be addressed to zone relative to slab advance in the western Sicilian side.

It comprises the Sila and Catena Costiera Massifs in northern Calabria, the Serre and Aspromonte Massifs in central and southern Calabria, and the Peloritani Mountains in Sicily. In Sila and Catena Costiera Massifs, three tectonic complexes are recognisable: a) the basal Apennine Complex, which consists of carbonate platform sequences of passive continental margin; b) the intermediate Liguride Complex, made of oceanic-derived units, affected by HP/LT metamorphism; and c) the upper Calabride Complex, which represents a nearly entire section of continental crust. The Catanzaro Line separates the northern sector from the Serre Massif that also represents a nearly entire segment of Variscan continental crust unaffected by Alpine metamorphism. Further to the south, the Palmi Line separates the Serre from the Aspromonte Massif and the Peloritani Mountains. These two latter nappe edifices consist of either Variscan metamorphic units, Variscan units with Alpine overprint and units of continental derivation that are exclusively affected by Alpine metamorphism.

Sicilian Landscape As Contested Space in the First Century BC: Three Case Studies
Sicilian Landscape as Contested Space in the First Century BC: Three Case Studies Dustin Leigh McKenzie BA (Hons), Dip. Lang. A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry ii Abstract Sicily was made the first overseas Roman province between 241 and 212 BC, and became known as the ‘bread-basket’ of the Republic due to the island’s famously fertile farmlands. The island, with its history of pre-Roman conflict, second century slave revolts, and use as a military stronghold in the civil wars of the first century, never dissociated itself from conflict. As such, its construction as a ‘contested space’ was popular in the literature of first-century Rome, employed as a symptomatic topos of the state of Rome – the closer Roman Sicily resembled its pre- annexation state, the greater the perceived threat to the Republic, and vice-versa. This construction of Sicily and its landscape was employed by authors such as Cicero, Diodorus Siculus, and Virgil to great effect, as they engaged with, reinforced, or challenged the major contemporary discourses of imperialism, the impact of civil war, and food security. Cicero’s In Verrem presents its audience with a Sicily that has been purposely constructed to deliver the most damning image of Verres, the infamously corrupt governor of Sicily from 73-71, the most sympathetic and familiar image of the Sicilians, presented as virtuous and stoic farmers, and a Sicily that has been reduced to a war-torn desert under Verres’ rule. Through his construction of Sicily as contested space, Cicero secured his win against Verres in court and demonstrated to his audiences the danger Verres’ actions presented Rome, threatening the stability of the relationship between Sicily and Rome.

We document that the spread of the Mafia in Sicily at the end of the 19th century was in part caused by the rise of socialist Peasant Fasci organizations. In an environment with weak state presence, this socialist threat triggered landowners, estate managers, and local politicians to turn to the Mafia to resist and combat peasant demands. We show that the location of the Peasant Fasci is significantly affected by a severe drought in 1893, and using information on rainfall, we estimate the impact of the Peasant Fasci on the location of the Mafia in 1900. We provide extensive evidence that rainfall before and after this critical period has no effect on the spread of the Mafia or various economic and political outcomes. In the second part of the article, we use this source of variation in the strength of the Mafia in 1900 to estimate its medium-term and long-term effects.
