The Fellini Museum of Rimini in Italy and the Genetic Algorithms-Based Method to Optimize the Design of an Integrated System Network and Installations

Abstract

The Fellini Museum is an exhibition hall dedicated to the Rimini film director Federico Fellini, included by the Ministry of Culture of Italy among the great national cultural projects. It was inaugurated on 19 August 2021, and it is the first worldwide exhibition hall dedicated to the famous film director. The museum, intended as a widespread museum center, is divided into three separate places in the historic center of Rimini: Sismondo Castle (built at the behest of Sigismondo Malatesta, at that time Lord of Rimini and Fano, starting from 1437 AD), Fulgor Palace and Malatesta square. The goal of the present paper is double. In the first part, as a case study, the innovative integrated system and installations planned for the optimal functioning and management of the Fellini Museum of Rimini in Italy is illustrated, showing its related complexity, due to its extension and articulation through different environments and due to the respect for architectural/historical heritage. In the second part, as dedicated and linked research, a proper Genetic Algorithms-based method, studied and applied for the optimization of the design of the wired network of the integrated system, the electrical power network and the air conditioning network is illustrated. It guarantees a decrease of realization costs, considering also the typical vincula and restrictions of already existing historical buildings, such as the considered one.

Understanding place identity in urban scale Smart Heritage using a cross-case analysis method

“…Existing Smart Heritage projects are often beyond the building scale; instead, they tend to be urban-scale projects. However, some Smart Heritage projects still target individual heritage buildings (Garzia, 2022). Future studies are recommended to look closely at the effect of smart innovations on place identities with heritage sites beyond Europe as case studies.…”

The Significance of the Mystery Play of Elche for the Local Community

“…Admittedly, in this particular case it is functioning effectively as an attractive means of providing access to culture for local children and teenagers who visit it as part of their school activities. Such experiences, based on the evidence of similar cases in other parts of the world [75][76][77], can help to achieve greater diffusion of this intangible heritage of humanity.…”

Sentiment and Emotional Analysis of Risk Perception in the Herculaneum Archaeological Park during COVID-19 Pandemic

“…The above objectives can be met by using an integrated systems approach [ 24 , 25 ], which, using the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Everything (IoE), can integrate people, things (mobile terminals, wearable devices, smart sensors, devices, etc. ), data, information, knowledge and activities [ 26 , 27 ]. For a site such as Herculaneum, this calls for a multidisciplinary model for security and safety management [ 32 ] along with a risk assessment [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

“…These primarily relate to impact of health crises on the cultural heritages owing to the stopping of maintenance and renovations at these sites. In our previous works, we considered the physical security aspects of cultural heritage sites by means of integrated technological systems [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ] as well as the emotional perception of risk from a visitor’s perspective of cultural heritage sites in relation to cultural heritage sites, much before the COVID-19 pandemic period [ 1 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], and related to different contexts during the COVID-19 pandemic period [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. In our proposed work here, we did not relate our research to physical security.…”
