Festa, spazio, territorio by Alessandra Broccolini

“…In order to answer these questions, the essay seeks to explore the festivity-territory-inhabitation relation through the spatial analysis of a specific ethnographic case, the feast of the Madonna del Monte di Marta (Viterbo, Lazio), broadening the gaze from the inhabited space of the town-city, where the feast is often (but not always) produced in its ceremonial moments, to the entire territory that the feast encompasses and helps to define, both in the construction of a ‘sense of place’ and in the experience and practical action of the same. …”

The Art Requisitions by the French under Napoléon and the Detachment of Frescoes in Rome, with an Emphasis on Raphael by Cathleen Hoeniger

“…The restoration of Italian paintings at the Louvre, after their confiscation by Napoleon’s deputies, has received considerable attention; however, the concurrent preoccupation of the French in Rome with the detachment of frescoes has been little studied, even though the desire for Raphael’s art led some to plan the extraction of his Stanze frescoes.

A systemic approach and multiscale data management. A ‘refrigerator’ case study by Paolo Marco Tamborrini, Eleonora Fiore

“…Many digital technologies, such as the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, could radically change the way of conceiving a design process, especially when they are used to retrieve essential information to define a problem, identify the requirements and support design decisions, all of which are typical of the pre-design phase. In this essay, we reflect on the complexity of designing, on the need for a systemic approach based on participatory methods and on the use of prototypes as tools to unlock the potential, albeit still largely untapped, use of data for design purposes. …”
