Abstract:
Ancient historians offered various explanations for the war that broke out in 264 B.C. For Polybius a century later it was the Roman’s first step outside Italy in a drive to world hegemony; also a properly defensive counter to a looming Carthaginian threat to Italy. Much of later Roman historical tradition lauded it as due to piousfidestowards a hapless ally, the ex-Italian Mamertines of Messana, under siege by Punic and Syracusan foes. That, it seems, was already the Roman line in 264 itself. At all events we find King Hiero of Syracuse chiding them then for ‘chattering aboutfides’ even as they allied themselves with the faithless brigands of Messana. For pro-Roman writers, the sanctity of alliances and the right of self-defence made a satisfying pair of historical justifications.

Abstract:
Regeneration processes activate stable regimes of interaction and interdependence among the architectural, economic, cultural and social sub-systems in settlements. The thesis of this paper is that in order to progress towards sustainable and inclusive cities, urban governance should widen the decision-making arena, promoting virtuous circular dynamics based on knowledge transfer, strategic decision making and stakeholders’ engagement. The historic urban landscape is a privileged la b for this purpose. The paper adapts the Triple-Helix model of knowledge-industry-government relationships to interpret the unexpected regimes of interaction between Local Authority and Cultural Heritage Assets triggered in the late 90es by the establishment of a knowledge provider such as a Faculty of Architecture in the highly degraded heritage context of the city of Syracuse, Italy. Following this approach, the authors explain the urban regeneration happened over the last 20 years in the port city of Syracuse, based on knowledge sharing and resources’ protection that promoted processes of social engagement and institutional empowerment for both new residents and entrepreneurs.

Abstract:
Bacterial and phytoplankton communities are known to be in close relationships, but how natural and anthropogenic stressors can affect their dynamics is not fully understood. To study the response of microbial communities to environmental and human-induced perturbations, phytoplankton and bacterial communities were seasonally monitored in a Mediterranean coastal ecosystem, Syracuse Bay, where multiple conflicts co-exist. Quali-quantitative, seasonal surveys of the phytoplankton communities (diatoms, dinoflagellates and other taxa), the potential microbial enzymatic activity rates (leucine aminopeptidase, beta-glucosidase and alkaline phosphatase) and heterotrophic culturable bacterial abundance, together with the thermohaline structure and trophic status in terms of nutrient concentrations, phytoplankton biomass (as Chlorophyll-a), and total suspended and particulate organic matter, were carried out. The aim was to integrate microbial community dynamics in the context of the environmental characterization and disentangle microbial patterns related to natural changes from those driven by the anthropic impact on this ecosystem. In spite of the complex relationships between the habitat characteristics, microbial community abundance and metabolic potential, in Syracuse Bay, the availability of organic substrates differently originated by the local conditions appeared to drive the distribution and activity of microbial assemblage. A seasonal pattern of microbial abundances was observed, with the highest concentrations of phytoplankton in spring and low values in winter, whereas heterotrophic bacteria were more abundant during the autumn period. The autumn peaks of the rates of enzymatic activities suggested that not only phytoplankton-derived but also allochthonous organic polymers strongly stimulated microbial metabolism. Increased microbial response in terms of abundance and metabolic activities was detected especially at the sites directly affected by organic matter inputs related to agriculture or aquaculture activities. Nitrogen salts such as nitrate, rather than orthophosphate, were primary drivers of phytoplankton growth. This study also provides insights on the different seasonal scenarios of water quality in Syracuse Bay, which could be helpful for management plans of this Mediterranean coastal environment.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the participatory and crowdsourcing project #iziTRAVELSicilia could be a key to the dissemination of 3D models on cultural heritage. This project has been recognized as a best practice both in territorial digital marketing and in digital promotion and valorisation through storytelling and crowdsourcing culture. #iziTRAVELSicilia has already involved thousands of people, producing more than 180 museum and tour audio guides. It has become a real model of participation in the co-creation of cultural values. In this paper we briefly present the project and the case of the Archaeological Museum ‘Paolo Orsi’ in Syracuse (Italy), as best practice on digital dissemination through platforms such as Google Street View and izi.TRAVEL itself, revealing how this platform has been already largely used for the dissemination both of existing 3D models and for new 3D models, such as those made by USF IDEx for the ‘Paolo Orsi’ Museum. Specifically, a collection of 26 ancient sculptures has been virtualized via laser scanning and digital photogrammetry in a participatory experience of measurement science. The global dissemination of those 3D models through izi.TRAVEL’s platform and other alternatives platforms will represent a significant contribute to the digital accessibility of the Museum of Syracuse but also the starting point of a metrological 3D database of ancient Sicilian sculpture generated entirely crowdsourcing.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The ancient theatres in Sicily, in southern Italy and along the countries facing the Mediterranean Sea basin, constitute a reality of incomparable cultural value. Regarding the research on the ancient theatres of eastern Sicily, few studies have been recently dealt with different methodologies. In the last years some practices have been done using 3D laser scanners for the theatres of Syracuse, Taormina and Morgantina, as well as the Syracuse amphitheatre and Taormina Odeon, just obtaining very interesting results. Lately the theatre of Palazzolo Acreide (Syracuse) has been studied, with Structure From Motion (SFM) and Dense Matching methodologies. From these experience, conclusions could be drawn on the quality and reliability of the elaborations realised with the SFM methodologies. We really know that these systems are today representing one of the fastest growing areas of examination, on which several software houses are investing. The study was chosen both for the small size of the building, and for the particular geometric conditions typical of the architecture of ancient theatres. This because their three-dimensional trend varies continually in the three variables X, Y, Z. The purpose of the work was to check whether the latest releases of these systems of survey allow today more than yesterday, a rapid digitalization and representation of the enormous archaeological cultural heritage. Various software were used, to verify the practicality and operation, the choice then fell on the Zephyr of 3DFlow, kindly available by the manufacturer, whose results were quite agreeable. The possibility offered by the program of a graphical tracing of polylines on the textured 3D model, has been a considerable advantage. Therefore the results obtained by modeling and surveying of the Palazzolo Acreide theatre have been compared, with the survey of the Syracuse, Taormina and Morgantina theatre performed using 3D laser scanners. First results of the research are matter of the following work.</p>

Abstract:
One would be hard-pressed to deny the influence Italians have had on the United States of America and on the very fabric of American cultural life. Not only are metropolises like New York City and Chicago with their populations in the millions home to significant Italian communities and neighborhoods but so are cities with several hundred thousand inhabitants like Boston, Baltimore, Syracuse, St. Louis, or Cleveland. The present paper intends to focus on Italians in Cleveland, Ohio, that undoubtedly constitute an organic and significant part of the city’s population. It aims to offer an insight into the formation of the Italian neighborhoods, from the first waves of Italian immigrants in the 19th century, and the opportunities of second-, third-, or nth-generation Italians to tend to their common Italian roots as well as to preserve their customs and traditions from the old country through a wide array of Italian cultural events, the city’s Italian community hubs and memorial sites, or the local Italian-American media

Abstract:
Le point de départ de ce travail est une critique du récit historiographique sur le conflit entre développement et préservation du patrimoine et du paysage qui porte sur la catégorie interprétative de la spéculation, vision qui reprend au niveau historiographique le discours militant de l’époque, se basant sur les catégories d’intérêts, de corruption, de « blocco edilizio », expression qui indique un bloc social constitué par les propriétaires de terrains, les sociétés immobilières et la classe politique dominante. Selon ce récit, l’entière période des Trente Glorieuses est vue comme l’échec du public et toute responsabilité en est attribuée à la volonté de la classe politique nationale et locale, sans distinctions entre la période dite du « centrisme », caractérisée par la présence solitaire au pouvoir du parti catholique (la Démocratie Chrétienne) et la période dite du « centre gauche » caractérisée par l’alliance entre parti catholique et parti socialiste autour d’un programme « réformiste », dont l’un des points fondamentaux est la réforme de l’urbanisme. Le cas de Syracuse, analysé dans une perspective d’histoire urbaine mais toujours par rapport au processus nationaux, part de la déconstruction de la narration dominante des « dommages » infligés à la ville en tant qu’elle résulte d’une approche idéologique remontant à la vision élitiste d’une minorité d’intellectuels, reprise et utilisée dans la lecture de ce processus par la gauche radicale pour démolir l’expérience réformiste. Nous visons au contraire à souligner l’importance des savoirs techniques et disciplinaires, de l’articulation des apparats bureaucratiques héritée de l’avant-guerre et des orientations de la jurisprudence nationale. Cette approche nous permet d’établir une distinction entre les deux phases politiques qui représente à notre avis un véritable facteur de discontinuité dans la période concernée
The starting point of this work is a critique of the dominant historiographical discourse about the conflict between development and conservation of cultural heritage and landscape, based on the interpretative category of speculation and postulating the homogeneity of the process of transformation of the Italian cities during the «Golden Age».Such reading descends – on a historiographical level – from the militant discourse of the time, based on the categories of «interests», «corruption», «blocco edilizio», i. e. a social block represented by landowners, estate agents and the dominating political class. According to this narrative, the whole period is to be interpreted as the failure of the public and the complete responsibility for this is to be attributed to the will of both national and local politicians. Such perspective does not operate any distinction between the so-called period of «centrism», characterised by the solitary position of power of the Catholic party (The Christian Democracy), and the period known as the «Centre-left rule», characterised by the alliance of the Catholic party and the Socialist one converging on a «reformist» project, which postulated the urban planning reform as one of its fundamental points. The historical representation of the case of Syracuse moves from the deconstruction of the dominant discourse traced back to the elitist vision of a minority of intellectuals; a vision recalled and adopted by the radical left in order to provide a representation of this process meant to demolish the reformist experience. Our aim, on the contrary, is to point out the importance of the technical and disciplinary knowledge as well as of the articulation of the bureaucratic apparatus inherited from the inter-war years and of the addresses of national jurisprudence. In this perspective, the experience of the center-left urban government represents a real turning point, creating the premises for a better preservation of the urban cultural heritage

Abstract:
This dissertation discusses logistical aspects of the Persians invasion of Greece; the Athenian need for timber for building warships; supply problems in their assault on Syracuse; and the march of Alexander's army from Macedonia into Asia. The amount of cereals needed by the Persian and Greek armies and navies is calculated from modern nutritional data and an estimate of the numbers of combatants. The location and size of the Persian food dumps; the excavation of the Athos canal; and the ships and materials needed to build the bridges of boats are considered. The Athenian need for ship-timber led to the costly occupation of Amphipolis. An assured supply of cereals was one motive for the disastrous Sicilian Expedition. The Athenian fleet was an inefficient long-range support for an army which had to protect its non-combatant sailors. This was realised by Alexander the Great, who crossed the Hellespont without naval support.

Abstract:
The nature of the source material means that our understanding of Agathokles’ activities in Italy will always be patchy. This chapter reconstructs the course of events in the region during his reign as far as is possible. Agathokles’ activities in this region are best understood in the context of earlier Syracusan interventions in Italy. Like them, he entered the region as a result of the ideology of Sicilian tyranny, the absence of a clear border at the Straits of Messana, the pull of internal Italian conflicts, and the desire to have a forward defence against invasion from mainland Greece. The goal was not control of territory per se but the control of movement through that territory.

Abstract:
This chapter provides a narrative overview of Agathokles’ life and career as a foundation for the analytical chapters which follow. The collapse and revival of Syracusan hegemony in Sicily and the rise of Macedon in mainland Greece were the central features of Agathokles’ youth. His rise to dominance in Syracuse in the years preceding 317 BC highlight the difficulties inherent in our source material for his career. This seizure of power resulted in three interlinked wars: against his exiled Syracusan opponents, against the other poleis of eastern Sicily, and eventually against the Carthaginians. Agathokles invaded Africa in 310. Unable to decisively defeat the Carthaginians, he made peace with them in 306, but destroyed his opponents in Sicily. Around 304 BC he assumed the title of king. Subsequently he engaged in campaigns in southern Italy and the Adriatic. An ill-managed succession resulted in the dissolution of his kingdom at his death in 289.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at how tyrants of Syracuse—the Deinomenids, Gelon and Hieron, in the fifth century and Dionysius I in the fourth—manipulated and reshaped three different identities to create legitimacy for their positions: Syracusan polis identity, Dorian ethnicity, and Greekness. Hieron emphasized Dorian ethnicity as a way of unifying his expansive domains. He also reoriented Syracusan polis identity to focus on the city’s urban landscape, especially the island of Ortygia and the spring of Arethusa, to incorporate new citizens within the community and to inscribe himself within it. The Deinomenids also emphasized their victory over Carthage at Himera in 480, encouraging their subjects to privilege their identities as Greeks over other self-perceptions, and Dionysius did much the same during wars against Carthage in the late fifth century. The chapter closes by examining how citizens responded to tyrants’ identity politics when the tyrants lost power.

Abstract The earliest attested theatre in the west is that at Syracuse, which was in existence at the time of Aeschylus. Its architect is known from Eustathius to have been Damocopus Myrilla. The shape of the Damocopus theatre is unknown although the seventeen rectilinear rock-cut steps just west of the later theatre are sometimes regarded as belonging to an older theatre. There may also have been a theatre at Catania in the later fifth century bc. The oldest surviving theatre in the west seems to be the trapezoidal theatre at Morgantina (Plan 110), which dates to c.325 bc. It originally had rectilinear seating, but was rebuilt with a curved cavea in the later third century bc.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the politics of identity in the Sicilian theater of the Peloponnesian War. Initially, most poleis in Sicily formed alliances based on ethnicity (either Dorian or Ionian), a form of kinship diplomacy that was typical in Greek politics. Camarina, however, allied with the Ionians despite being Dorian due to its unique polis identity, which had been shaped by hostility toward its mother city, Syracuse. Political decisions were thus conditioned by identities, and these, in turn, were often shaped by political rhetoric. An analysis of two speeches of the Syracusan politician Hermocrates, as rewritten by Thucydides, reveals a series of arguments, based on different identities in different contexts, that persuaded poleis to follow his recommendations. Identity thus played a central role in Greek politics, since the changing salience of different identities enabled poleis to make decisions on the basis of multiple identities over a short time.

Abstract This chapter explains what Plato thought about the value of written work: at best, it can do no more than act as a reminder of truth. The chapter summarizes the content and nature of the early dialogues and lingers over the important distinction between knowledge and belief. What Plato was up to in these early dialogues was the demarcation of philosophy (as he understood it, i.e., Socratic philosophy) as the only true educational system; he accomplished this demarcation by disproving the claims of others to be true educators. The chapter next explores his travels in southern Italy and Sicily, which were undertaken above all to meet Pythagoreans, so a brief description of Pythagoreanism is provided. In this context the chapter discusses Plato’s first visit to Syracuse and his possible interaction with Dionysius I, the tyrant of Syracuse, and his fateful meeting with young Dion. The chapter ends with the famous story of Plato’s temporary enslavement after he left Syracuse.

Abstract The story of the diffusion of interest in drama in the Greek West has to work in places as diverse as Syracuse; Poseidonia (Paestum) in the north-west; and Rubi (Ruvo di Puglia) in the north-east. But the places of most interest are the coastal cities of Lucania and Apulia along the ‘instep’ of South Italy, and the centre is Taras (Taranto). Taras was famous for its festivals and cultural activities, especially theatre; and it was the main centre of production of Apulian vasepainting.

Abstract:
In sacred musical works we find structures and composing solutions that introduce a specific action, similar to visual elements. What are the means for the architectural and sound space that create a sacred space? Are there playing in common? I answer this question on the basis of contemporary architecture (e.g. Church of Light by Tadao Ando in Ibaraki/Japan, Fritz Hoger�s Kirke in Berlin/Germany, Basilica Sanctuary of Our Lady of Tears by Stephane Aboudaram in Syracuse/Italy) confronted with music dedicated to the sacred sphere. In accordance with the currently developed cognitive interpretation, I will guide towards the sphere of experience and define a sacred place as an area where you can feel safe, surrounded by somewhat mysterious; calm down, focused on, forget about reality. At this place you can also be moved, sublimed and touched by presence of eternity, and share or express the fullness of life emotions. I present a musical analysis of sacred elements on the examples of works by contemporary Polish composers focused on the image of the suffering Mother of God under the cross of her son: Luctus Mariae by Pawel Lukaszewski from 2010 based on the Latin version of the Stabat Mater sequence, referring to the convention of the Italian madrigal theater from the 18th century and representing a severe beauty of the contemporary vision of meditation, and Stabat Mater by Ignacy Zalewski from 2018 making the suffering of the Mother of God more �real� basing on the contemporary version of a medieval sequence in a current experience of symbolic performative and vivid image that can be shared by the recipient.
