Italian earthquakes (from 62 A.D. to 2002 A.D)
makes it possible to investigate Bendandi’s theory.
In 1923 this author theorized on the existence of a
cosmic origin of earthquakes: he affirmed that
astronomic alignments of major planets and other
celestial bodies such as the Moon and Sun
determine abnormal gravitational stress which
triggers seismic events. Hereafter the gravitational
pull of planets alone is considered.

Commonly, a ruler and compass are used to draw a symbol, frieze or geometric ornamental motif. But has it always been so? Is the geometric way the only method? Is it possible to create these decorations in any other way? Such questions are answered in this book, which describes six centuries of Roman mosaic art, from the 3rd century B.C. to the beginning of the Byzantine period, and proposes, using only the mathematical knowledge of the time, a wide variety of examples and formulas that open up new hypotheses on the design visions of the mosaic. Thanks to a long series of equations and inequalities, in fact, the author has managed to recreate the motifs of more than 200 pavements still to be found throughout the Mediterranean basin, and formulates the suggestive hypothesis that Roman decoration is based on mathematical foundations and designs.

If it is true, as Galileo Galilei said, "that the universe is written in a mathematical language, and the characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which it is like wandering vainly through an obscure labyrinth", this book helps us to find harmony, regularity and beauty. In fact, thanks to constant and assiduous research, the author has created over three hundred inequalities that give rise to as many patterns for reordering the world. And he suggestS a fascinating hypothesis: that patterns of stone or ceramic inlays that cover the walls and floors of some ancient monuments, merely considered the work of craftsmen using only with ruler and compass, there may be mathematical inequalities calculated in advance. From the Greek and Roman worlds, to our own Middle Ages and the splendid Islamic tessellations, Sciuto's formulas (using only the mathematical and trigonometric knowledge of the time, unchanged since the second century B.C. for over 1600 years) go further, touching on the art and artists of the early twentieth century, with geometric effects that are sometimes rigorous and sometimes psychedelic, Yet always surprising. Suggesting that a mathematical formula, more or less simple, may indeed underlie everything we know. Are you ready for an immersive journey into the tessellated world of patterns?
Like many Italian cities the lithology of the monuments makes it possible to reconstruct the economic history of the city through the centuries. The paper is part of "Geology and History" a book edited by EuroGeosurveys - The Geological Surveys of Europe (34-37 pp.)
