These photos are of St. Sebastian, the patron saint of Palazzolo Acreide, resting upon a richly decorated golden float (vara). Adding to the cultural uniqueness of the Sicilian festival, the float is adorned with garlands of red and white flowers and is notably edged with banknotes. Surrounding the statue are the 'Confraternity' members who accompany the Saint.

I chioschi di Palermo: architettura, società e memoria tra Ottocento e Novecento

Alla fine del XIX secolo, Palermo viveva un’epoca di profonda trasformazione, la città, crocevia di culture e capitale di un regno che aveva visto alternarsi dominazioni arabe, normanne e spagnole, si preparava a diventare un simbolo dell’Italia moderna.

In questo contesto di rinnovamento urbano e culturale, tra il fermento dell’Esposizione Nazionale del 1891 e l’ascesa dello stile Liberty, nascono i chioschi palermitani: piccole architetture che, oltre a soddisfare esigenze pratiche, diventano manifesti di un’epoca in cui arte, società e vita quotidiana si intrecciano in modo indissolubile.

I chioschi erano luoghi di socialità: qui, tra un bicchiere di acqua e zammù (anice) e una chiacchierata, le persone si incontravano in un luogo che rifletteva la società palermitana dell’epoca.

#introduction

Hi! I'm Pierluca, a PhD student at #mila and a visiting researcher at #meta in Montreal. I work in #reinforcementlearning ( #rl ).

I've been excited about the idea of having models of the dynamics that are maximally useful for learning a control policy.

I have also stumbled upon some sharp edges of the interaction of RL and #deeplearning.

I'm from #sicily and I'm a musician. I wanted to do AI for songwriting but then discovered the beauty of fundamental research!

In #Sicily again after a year! This time with some more hiking at the small, volcanic island of Ustica https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ustica
