La Scienza Illustrata (June 1951)

Speaking to people about what we do, something we go for metaphors, sometimes for equations, sometimes for songs, or sometimes we just close our eyes and feel the breeze.
To provide yet another expression for the concept of “interdisciplinary protection and promotion of lesser known assets in the fields of culture, environment, and open innovation“, Mauro Tirannosauro wrote a few lines of code displaying all of the photos published on the pibinko.org and Jug Band Colline Metallifere WordPress sites in a single sequence, generating a sort of mosaic.
The result is a photo log which is partly in chronological order (for each event we do we have at least one photo on the site), and partly not, since we are also gradually importing to the site photos of things we did in pre-blog times (since 2000), which in the system are assigned the data of when the file is uploaded. In any case the effect is interesting, and some of you may recognise situations and folks.
To see the whole “movie” try: http://www.pibinko.org/scripts/listallimg2.php . This will get you over 1500 images (as of August 10, 2020), and will require some time to load, although the final effect is neat. Otherwise, you can try the month-by-month option:
January – February – March– April– May – June –
July – August – September – October – November – December
If some of the shots capture your curiosity, you can try and find the corresponding news on the blogs, or write for more information.
The core of the images starts in 2015.

The proceedings of the 11th Symposium of the International Society for Digital Earth, held in September 2019 in Florence, Italy, have been published. In the proceedings you also find an article about the presentation given by Andrea Giacomelli (co-authored by Elena Maggi and Luciano Massetti) on BuioMetria Partecipativa.
The article is available from this page (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/509/1/012018)

Abstract
Citizen observatories are community-based systems that can complement official networks for environmental data collection. This study proposes the case of a Citizen Observatory on light pollution, developed in Tuscany since 2008. Starting from the collection of measurement by volunteers, the observatory is now composed by a heterogeneous array of subjects (two research institutions, two rural communities, a rock-blues band, and a professional photographer) operating from local to international level through its connection with the international scientific community. This collaboration produced several outcomes: light pollution monitoring campaigns, numerous outreach events for raising citizen awareness on light pollution and its consequences and for the promotion of dark sky areas, input to global level position papers and scientific publications, the organization of an international Symposium on promotion and protection of the night sky.

The first event of the Jug Band Colline Metallifere conce[r|p]t season was a great success. On this round we had a “concept”. The topic was the cultural twinning of the forest areas in the boundary area between Grosseto and Siena in Southern Tuscany, and the Republic of North Macedonia del Nord. You may find a presentation of the event in this article.
The animators for the evening were Ferit Idrizovski and his son, Mujadin. They are originally from Crn Vrv, about 80 km South of Skopje, but have been residing in Italy now for over twenty years. Their goal was to tell people about their country, in the context of a set arranged by Jack O’Malley with objects somewhat related to the topic. Below are some shots of the event.

The Birrificio 26 Nero was started in 2011 in Scalvaia, the hamlet on the northern side of the Farma Valley, by Fabio Massellucci aka Fabione.
Fabio is quite present in the pibinko.org network archives since 2007. He was in fact one of the participants to the “palla a 21 from Tuscany to Chicago” mission, and you may see him in various parts of the documentary on that event (see here the trailer and the whole docu-fiction).
Fabio was also interviewed by by Radio Popolare Milano in March 2014, on the occasione of the palla a 21 to Milano mission (here is the podcast).
