Z kontekstów recepcji Fryderyka Chopina. Włoska panorama pianistyczna XIX wieku
Artykuł naświetla zasadnicze wątki dotyczące roli fortepianu w kulturze muzycznej Włoch w XIX wieku, z uwzględnieniem rozwoju budownictwa instrumentu, dostępnych metod gry i powszechnego repertuaru na ten instrument oraz świadectw recepcji estetyki twórczości Fryderyka Chopina. Przedstawione syntetyczne ujęcie opisuje okres od momentu ugruntowania popularności fortepianu w kraju i wydania pierwszej włoskiej metody gry na fortepianie – opracowanej…
Organic residue analysis in archaeological pottery. Heating markers in non-cooking vessels from Etruscan Tarquinia (Italy): A sampling problem
Inside the Scriptorium: Non-Invasive In Situ Identification of Dyes in Illuminated Manuscripts by Microspectrofluorimetry and Multivariate Analysis: The Crescenzago Choir Books (End 15th Century) as a…
In the present work, a method is proposed that combines spectrofluorimetry with multivariate analysis (cluster and principal components) to non-invasively investigate natural dyes used, mainly in the form of lakes, in illuminations. First, a consistent number of mock-up samples of red and purple lakes (from brazilwood, madder, kermes, cochineal, lac dye, folium and orcein) were prepared following the recipes reported in ancient treatises, then th…

The Art of Everyday Objects: A Non-Invasive In Situ Investigation of Materials and Techniques of Italian Pop Art Paintings on Aluminium
Two paintings, made on aluminium support by Silvio Pasotti (among the major exponents of 1960s Italian pop art) were investigated in a totally non-invasive manner to identify the materials used by the artist. Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), visible reflectance spectroscopy, and spectrofluorimetry with visible excitation were exploited as molecular analysis techniques, which are particularly suitable to recognis…
Multi-analytical investigation of panel, pigments and varnish of The Martyirdom of St. Catherine by Gaudenzio Ferrari (16th century)
Spiriti e riti ebraici a Meknes. Seduti alla “tavola di David
Il saggio si occupa della possessione di arabi musulmani da parte di spiriti ebraici a Meknes, in Marocco. Si tratta di un argomento finora non ampiamente trattato nella letteratura etnografica, sia perché gli spiriti ebraici rappresentano un’alterità assoluta rispetto al pantheon marocchino, sia perché i riti ad essi dedicati sono riservati. Gli studi sulla possessione in Marocco, inoltre, si sono occupati prevalentemente dei riti in cui gli spi…
La ceramica di stile geometrico a Tarquinia, tra importazione e produzione locale: Un aggiornamento
Il contributo aggiorna con elementi nuovi derivati dalle analisi chimiche la situazione della ceramica in stile geometrico rinvenuta al «complesso monumentale» di Tarquinia. Si configurano almeno tre condizioni che descrivono materiali prodotti con una materia prima locale calcarea cui si applicano diverse tecnologie di cottura (1) o ancora con una materia prima non calcarea (2) oppure calcarea, ma che si discosta in maggiore o minor misura da qu…
Multi-technique investigation of historical Chinese dyestuffs used in Ningxia carpets
A multi-technique approach to the chemical characterization of colored inks in contemporary art: The materials of Lucio Fontana
Earliest direct evidence of plant processing in prehistoric Saharan pottery
Colour in context. Pigments and other coloured residues from the Early-Middle Holocene site of Takarkori (SW Libya)
The beginnings of dairying as practised by pastoralists in ‘green’ Saharan Africa in the 5th millennium BC
Previous research has identified the antiquity and chronology of dairying practices as beginning in the Near East and its subsequent spread across Europe. In the Libyan Sahara, archaeological evidence, confirmed by the remarkable rock art depicting cattle herding, together with faunal evidence, also suggests an early inception of dairying practices in North Africa and the formation of an independent ‘secondary products’ economy by mobile pastoral…
First dairying in green Saharan Africa in the fifth millennium bc
Multi-technique characterization of dyes in ancient Kaitag textiles from Caucasus
Field and Laboratory Multi‐technique Analysis of Pigments and Organic Painting Media From an Egyptian Coffin (26th Dynasty)
This paper describes the physico‐chemical analyses performed on an Egyptian wood coffin on the occasion of its restoration in the hall of the National Archaeological Museum of Parma (Italy), with the aim of investigating the pigments and organic materials originally used. Pigment determination was performed both in situ by a portable energy‐dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer and in the laboratory using a micro‐Fourier‐transform‐in…
Archaeometric Study of Shells of Helicidae From the Edera Cave (Northeastern Italy)
The Edera Cave, near Aurisina in the Trieste Karst, retains a stratigraphy that extends from the Mesolithic to the modern era. At Sauveterrian layers, many specimens of Helix cincta are present, which are considerably crushed, and a small percentage of which are also blackened. Chemical analyses show that the blackened specimens were exposed to a temperature of between 500 and 550°C, and suggest that many others were destroyed by fire at temperat…
Micro-Raman identification of the palette of a precious XVI century illuminated Persian codex
White Lumps in Fifth‐ to Seventeenth‐century Ad Mortars From Northern Italy
Ancient mortars from northern Italy, dating from the fifth to the seventeenth century AD, were examined in order to formulate an hypothesis regarding the origin of the white lumps often observed in these mortars and in other samples of the same geographical provenance. Various characterization techniques were employed, including scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and micro‐FTIR spectroscop…
Spectroscopic Investigation of Red Stains Affecting the Carrara Marble Façade of the Certosa of Pavia
The nature of the large red stains exhibited on the Carrara marble elements of the Certosa of Pavia façade was investigated by means of spectroscopic techniques and scanning electron microscopy. Although previous microbiological analysis has demonstrated the presence on the stone of a bacterial strain identified as Micrococcus roseus, that is capable of carotenoid production, it has been ascertained in the present study that an inorganic pigment,…
