This book addresses a variety of topics within the growing
discipline of Archaeoastronomy, focusing especially on
Archaeoastronomy in Sicily and the Mediterranean and Cultural
Astronomy. A further priority is discussion of the astronomical and
statistical methods used today to ascertain the degree of
reliability of the chronological and cultural definition of sites
and artifacts of archaeoastronomical interest. The contributions
were all delivered at the XVth Congress of the Italian Society of
Archaeoastronomy (SIA), held under the rubric "The Light, the
Stones and the Sacred" - a theme inspired by the International Year
of Light 2015, organized by UNESCO. The full meaning of many
ancient monuments can only be understood by examining their
relation to light, given the effects that light radiation produces
in "interacting" with lithic structures. Moreover, in addition to
manifestations of the sacred through the medium of light
(hierophanies), there are many ties between temples, tombs,
megalithic structures, and the architecture of almost all ages and
cultures and our star, the Sun. Readers will find the book to be a
source of fascinating insights based on synergies between the
disciplines of archaeology and astronomy.

18 poesie scritte tutte d'un interminabile ispirato fiato, il primo
tentativo del giovane autore che si confronta con sentimenti
fantasmi e stati d'animo precari, ma ostinati, scontenti, ma
risoluti. Un breve processo d'espiazione lirica che cerca conforto
solo nella musicalita della parola.
