Il viaggio tra i portali monumentali è una rivisitazione inedita della città. Fare un giro nel centro storico di Palermo è un vero e proprio viaggio nella storia che solo un occhio attento e preparato comprende. I segni della sua ori- gine sono ancora leggibili, così come le sue trasformazioni sono impresse, nelle strade e nelle facciate di palazzi e chiese. Il fascino di questa città sta forse proprio in queste modificazioni e sovrapposizioni, in questa ricerca del documento che è storia e tecnologia insieme perché la storia si è impressa nella materia che la sostanzia. Lo studio dei portali di Palermo è frutto di una ricerca internazionale che ha per tema la lettura del costruito storico fina- lizzata al recupero. La ricerca si è svolta nell'ambito di una convenzione inter- nazionale tra l’Università di Palermo e l’Istituto dell'Egeo del Ministero della Cultura Ellenico, di cui l’Autrice è responsabile scientifica e referente di Ateneo. Un ruolo importante nel percorso di ricerca ha avuto la proclamazio- ne di Palermo a capitale italiana della cultura 2018, che ha influenzato e ulte- riormente stimolato, il processo di indagine e gli obiettivi.

Abstract

The research study aims to encourage knowledge, narration and documentation of monumental portals. The portal is an element of functional nature, because it is an access to the building which defines the relationship with the street or square where it opens. Sometimes, the architecture of the portal has a self-referential character to communicate to the outside the value of the building and its owner. On the one hand, the study of the portals analyses the individual building factories, censusing and documenting them through the analysis of the state of conservation of materials and construction techniques, on the other hand it intends to highlight the story of their stay in the urban scene. The study of these architectures is addressed to scholars of the architectural heritage and professionals specialized in conservation and recovery of the historical building. The study embraces the purposes of Palermo "Capital of Culture 2018" also addressing users of cultural tourism. That is why, the volume has been structured considering the need for a simple and direct reading for a large number of readers. The volume consists of three parts and an annex. The first part is related to cognitive analysis, the second to the narration and construction of cultural itineraries, the third to the census of portals and the enhancement of historical heritage. The annex supports the itineraries, in fact each itinerary of the portals, in the annex, corresponds to the historical reference framework. The annex intends to be a first approach for scholars who want to contextualize both the historical period in which each portal analyzed was built, and to know the cultures and dominations crossed by this characteristic city in different historical periods.
