The ambivalence of cultural heritage policies: Creative cities and gentrification in Florence
In this essay I explore how political institutions shape cultural heritage, using it to implement urban planning policies that lead to gentrification and displacement. My analysis focuses on the candidacy of Florence in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in 2019. Florence applied for Creative City status in the Crafts and Folk Art section, with the idea of using heritage policies to rethink commercial supply in the historic centre and exploit the…
Slowdown. Una questione di classe
What does it mean to slow down and who can do it? In recent years, the need to decelerate to avoid environmental and social catastrophes has been evoked more and more often. The world runs too fast, we are now unable to act thoughtfully and really enjoy our life, which always flows at greater speed. And yet, we continually dream of slowing down, of rediscovering more authentic, everyday relationships. We dedicate ourselves to new hobbies, we lear…
On Food Apparatuses. Orthorexia and digital technologies in Central Italy
How are devices changing our relationship with food? Do they help us to orient ourselves in a world where the production and circulation of commodities bring our certainties into question? In this paper I discuss food insecurity and develop on ethnographic research conducted in Tuscany (Italy) in a period running from 2016 to 2017. The aim of this research is to reflect on two aspects: first, the growing fear, insecurity and diffidence with regar…

Biological colonization on stone monuments: A new low impact cleaning method
Microclimatic monitoring of a semi-confined archaeological site affected by salt crystallisation
Long-term performance evaluation of an earthen grouting mortar: The Nuraghic complex of Genna Maria, Sardinia
This paper presents a critical assessment of the long-term performance of an earth-based material employed nine years ago in conservation work on a building of massive, Cyclopean-style construction at the Genna Maria Nuraghic complex in central-southern Sardinia (Italy). The material was used for filling the large gaps between stones in the masonry walls to create a barrier to ingress of water into the masonry walls. In situ observations and labo…
