Course title: The Museum in the contemporary debate: traditions and contradictions

Never as intensely as today, and at any latitude in the World, the museum institution is at the center of a debate that constantly questions its traditional status as a place of conservation, study and protection of collections. This course aims to offer a broad overview of the museum and of the Museum Studies (definition, statute, structure, services, spaces, professions) and to analyze some themes dear to Critical Museology, such as decolonization, delocalization, the development of museums of memory and human rights, the relationship with social and economic sciences, etc. The second part of the course will take place in the form of seminars conducted in the museums by students based on individual research. Numerous inspections are planned in the Roman museums.

The course will focus on the study of environmental movements during the latter half of the 20th century. It will examine how these movements perceived and addressed major environmental issues, transformed into political parties, and interacted with the concept of modernity.
The course will provide an overview of the emergence of conservationist and protectionist movements in 19th century Europe and the first half of the 20th century. Then the main emphasis will be on the movements that arose between the 1960s and 1990s, with a comprehensive exploration of their organizational and cultural aspects.
Specific topics that will be covered include the rise of environmental conservation associations, the emergence of ecological protests, environmental movements, and animal rights activism. The course will also analyze the development of green cultures and parties in Italy, Britain, France, and Germany within the context of their respective political systems. Furthermore, the scientific and political debates surrounding climate change will be examined.
To facilitate a deeper understanding of the subject matter, the course will involve reading and discussing relevant documents from the studied period. These documents will shed light on the political cultures, ideas, and sensitivities that gave birth to these movements and fueled internal political debates.

Synthetic reasoning between sense and concept

The course aims to investigate the theory of gesture understood as a dynamic and continuous process of synthesis between sense and concept. In particular, starting from an analysis of the notion of synthetic judgment, the theory of transcendental schematism and mathematical and geometrical synthesis in Kant, we will then move on to analyze the metaphysical and mathematical question of the infinite and continuum in Georg Cantor and Charles S. Peirce. Finally, a proposal of mathematical gesture as a cognitive process will be explored.

The program syllabus will unfold as follows:
- Analysis of the Kantian distinction between synthetic and analytic judgments
- Analysis of Transcendental Schematism and the Kantian idea of the construction of mathematical and geometrical synthesis
- Proposal of an interpretative hypothesis of transcendental schematism as an active and dynamic synthesis of sense and concept through gesture
- Examination of Peirce's proposal of a logic of continuity
- Examination of Poincaré's conception of mathematics
- Proposal of a hypothesis on the mathematical gesture as a cognitive process starting with Giuseppe Longo

the politics of technology

Philosophy of technology is a relatively recent discipline that deals with relationships between Technology, knowledge and society.
The course wants to answer to the following questions:
What is technology?
Is it possible to think about science without a reflexion on technology in the present technoscientific environment?
Which are the relationships between society and technology?
Which are the relevant changes introduced by technology in living styles?
Is it possible to consider technology as neutral and value and ideology free?
Technology has a relevant and permanent influence on science and on knowledge building in general but also on the definition of society and its working assets. Technical artefacts produce changes on society and are influenced by social choices, political constraints and economical investments.
In this course we will discuss the importance of philosophy of technology for philosophy itself, if we accept the idea that philosophy is a research for understanding and for acting on present. If we accept this perspective we cannot ignore the importance of technology.
Technology is created according to projects, objectives and standards on which society has no direct control, but technical objects have relevant consequences on the functioning of social practices including the epistemological ones.
Technology is a normative discipine (different from science). Its object is not the study of how things are in the world. it imposes an organization on the world in order for its devices to work correctly. It proposes and orders a regulation for society and it is in need that society imposes a regulation on its implementation: not all that it is feasible technically it is allowed.

The Course firstly aims to provide, through the main available technical and scientific data, an understanding of the state of health of the Planet starting from the identification of the main biogeophysical processes that regulate the stability and resilience of the Earth system. In application of the Planetary Boundaries theory, existing critical issues and their causes will be highlighted.
The main documents of international environmental law and its evolution over the past fifty years will then be analyzed.
It will then move on to an illustration of European environmental law, highlighting the main rules of the Law of Treaties, the secondary law and the most relevant communications in recent years including the European Green Deal. The important role of action plans and European courts in the evolution of environmental law will be analysed. A special focus will be dedicated to the principles of environmental law, the concept of circular economy in its various meanings, and the systemic approach needed to face complexity.
In national law, the prominence of environmental issues in the Constitutional text and in the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court will be explored, as well as the norms of the Environment code with the various sectoral disciplines (waste, remediation, air, water, soil, etc.) with the various jurisprudence applying them.
It will examine whether we can speak of a real change in the economic Constitution of the country and the interactions between the economy and environmental protection, the concept of sustainable production. Special emphasis will be given to the administrative law of the environment (subjects of environmental policies, measures, proceedings, environmental and strategic impact assessments etc.).
It will be concluded by attempting to highlight the evolutionary process found in the discipline of environmental law today.

Seminars intend to discuss and scientifically analyze some of the most important aspects concerning Italian history of racism, their connections with contemporary forms of racial discrimination and the experiences of collective and individual resistance which constitute Italian antiracism. Racism will be always analyzed in an intersectional perspective, that is recognizing the mutual reproduction of it in the intersection with other social relationships of oppression based on gender, class, sexuality, religion.

Texts will be available to the students during the course.

This workshop aims to be an introduction to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and will be structured in two parts, one more theoretical and one more applied.
The first part will give a general presentation of the 2030 Agenda, its origins, signatory and non-signatory countries (etc.) but above all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals commonly known as the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda will be examined. Ample space will be devoted to the critical discussion of the structure of the Agenda and of the links between its various objectives, both in terms of complementarity and in terms of possible contradictions.
The second part will then explore some of the Agenda's objectives, with a particular focus on the revitalization of marginal areas. Depending on the specific interests and/or the chosen study plans, questions will be asked about the "dimensions" of the marginality of people and geographical areas and about the various forms of exploitation that can arise from them. This analysis can be conducted both in Italy and in other European countries or on other continents.
At the same time, those who follow the workshop will be guided in the collective creation of audiovisual products, to promote the dissemination of the research carried out.

A historical perspective on religions must grasp the stratification of their presence on the territory and reconstruct their dynamics and strategies: since 2007, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas and cities have become the privileged space of contestations, conflicts, negotiation of interests, creation of symbolic resources and capital concerning religion. Innovations and trends concerning religious beliefs and practices are created in cities. Theoretical knowledge will be provided on the concept of religious space/place, the results of empirical research on the presence of religious places in increasingly plural spaces also due to migration movements and diaspora processes.

The main case study will be that of shared religious places. In particular, places where religions coexist in public spaces and in urban and suburban contexts will be analysed. In particular, studies on the relationship between space and religion: from the geography of religion to the geographies of religions.

Theories, concepts, terminology, methods related to the study of religious places and the location of the sacred in space through materiality and planning relations will be exposed and discussed.

This course introduces students to key concepts of legal anthropology in order to understand the relationship between legal processes and other aspects of cultural, social and political life in a pluralistic context.
It will focus on issues relating to the complexities and challenges posed to law by the increasing cultural diversity of our societies. Students will be encouraged to reflect on the implications of an anthropological understanding of law and the different legal traditions studied by anthropologists, and to attempt to apply these concepts in concrete situations, with a focus on gender relations.

The course will focus on the Rwandan Tutsi genocide of 1994 and the analysis of the post-genocide period, with a focus on gender-based violence and the difficult process of reconciliation.
It will begin with an analysis of the causes that led to the genocide from the colonial period through the lens of historical and gender anthropology, and then focus on field analysis in the post-genocide period on the themes of justice (gacaca courts), rape, memory and the role of local politics in relation to global dynamics.
An integral part of the course will be the class viewing and anthropological interpretation of some ethnographic documentaries and films.

Never before in recent years has the idea of Europe been at the center of public debate: for some, it is the only lifeline against nationalism and war; for others, it is the ultimate cause of all our problems and woes, especially economic ones. The invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin's Russia in February 2022 has not only revived the classic themes of war and peace in public discourse but also brought back into focus the issue of the eastern expansion of the concept of Europe, a question with extraordinary historical depth.
Only a profound understanding of the long-term history of European civilization and its interactions with other civilizations around the globe can allow us to decode issues that only superficially appear to be purely contemporary. In the first part of the course, we will focus on the evolution of the notion of Europe, the various thoughts about Europe, and the long-term development of European consciousness. In the second part, we will delve into the phenomenon of exodus and internal migrations within the continent for religious reasons: whether voluntary or forced, they are the dramatic outcome of the process of confessionalization and the construction of modern statehood, characterized by the pursuit of purity through the expulsion and marginalization of religious diversity

We will firstly define the main characteristics and contents of the Environmental humanities study area. Then we will focus on how humanities and social sciences stand before the regulatory ontology of the neoliberal growth system. This is based on an apparently contradictory mixture of vitalistic unleashing and rational anticipatory ordering, where the goal is no longer disciplining the living system and the living beings but the possibility to profit from indeterminacy, i.e. from the continuous liberation of energy.
Humanities and social sciences, increasingly dominated by a neo-materialist perspective, play an ambiguous role in this framework: on the one hand, they aim to eco-critically denounce all forms of domination of the human and the non-human; on the other hand, by working on the deconstruction of some traditional dualisms (nature/culture, nature/technology, words/things, reality/knowledge, living/non-living, etc.), they contribute to settle a de-regulation imaginary in which ecological threats, far from being opposed, are actually indulged.
With this awareness, we will try to reflect on the possible ways out, exploring the analytical, critical, and political potential of some liminal conceptual frames (the "form of life," dépense and the Bataillean general economy, degrowth and so on).

In contemporary societies the arts affect the public discourse, becoming agency of social transformation and contributing to the creation of new cultural meanings, laboratory for the civil society, space and place for shaping the collective and public memories of controversial events, arenas where gender identities, ethnicity and social classes are socially constructed.
The first part of the course will aim at studying artistic production and politics of cultural consumption. It will focus on the following topics: theories of the "author's death", theories of reception, art as social practice, the institutional definitions of artistic value, cases of " non-recognition " and plagiarism, politics of genius, canonization and practices of social exclusion, theories of cultural capital, relationship between art and advertising, the role of social media in the production of artistic reputations and in relation to the "arts worlds", artistic intermediation processes and their social effects.
The second part will concern art institutions. It will address the following topics: activism, art and the public sphere, cancel culture, monuments in the urban space, art as memory technology, cultural consumption of the past and the role of the arts in shaping the public memory of very contested pasts, sociology of museums and politics of museum exhibition, representation of ethnic identities in museums, museums as technology of gender, multimedia arts.

The course focuses on the crisis of the "developmentist" modernity, analyzing its original features and its institutional and regulative evolutions, in connection with the changing characters of social theory.
In the final part, we will try to imagine the features of a post-development society, taking inspiration from the "meridian thinking" by Franco Cassano.

The course will focus on the study of environmental movements during the latter half of the 20th century. It will examine how these movements perceived and addressed major environmental issues, transformed into political parties, and interacted with the concept of modernity.
The course will provide an overview of the emergence of conservationist and protectionist movements in 19th century Europe and the first half of the 20th century. Then the main emphasis will be on the movements that arose between the 1960s and 1990s, with a comprehensive exploration of their organizational and cultural aspects.
Specific topics that will be covered include the rise of environmental conservation associations, the emergence of ecological protests, environmental movements, and animal rights activism. The course will also analyze the development of green cultures and parties in Italy, Britain, France, and Germany within the context of their respective political systems. Furthermore, the scientific and political debates surrounding climate change will be examined.
To facilitate a deeper understanding of the subject matter, the course will involve reading and discussing relevant documents from the studied period. These documents will shed light on the political cultures, ideas, and sensitivities that gave birth to these movements and fueled internal political debates.

Genealogy of Intellectual Labour: Walter Benjamin and Antonio Gramsci.
The course aims to compare Walter Benjamin and Antonio Gramsci in highlighting the disciplining and automation of conduct as a prerequisite for transformations in the mode of intellectual labour.

W. Benjamin, Charles Baudelaire: A Lyric Poet in the Era of High Capitalism, Verso, 1997.
A. Gramsci, Americanism and Fordism, in Prison Notebooks (any edition).

The course consists of two parts. The first one introduces Cultural and Social Anthropology, the second one Ethnography.
In the first part, after briefly introducing, also form an historical perspective, the most important notions in anthropology knowledge and ethnographic methodology, the course will focus on the nature/culture relationship, examining some of the most important essays in the anthropological literature, including some on Amerindian perspectivism. Lessons will then focus on the meanings of a dichotomic representation of nature and culture, looking in particular to the notions of race, sex, gender relations, sexuality, reproduction, always in reference to specific ethnographic evidences and currents events. The cultural character of the dual opposition of nature and culture will be discussed in reference to the idea of “human nature” and naturalization processes in contexts of social and economic inequalities.
In the second part will start introducing ethnography as practice and theory of the description of social and cultural phenomena born in the history of anthropology. Ethnography will be presented as both the practice of fieldwork in anthropology and the translating of this experience and knowledge into writing. We will focus then on field research through a historical examination of the methods and reflection on them: from the expeditions season, to participatory observation, to the most recent and innovative forms, with special regard to feminist and postmodern anthropology. In the final part we will discuss specific ethnographic experiences, with special attention to the contribution of gender and feminist anthropology. In this section we will analyze the construction of the research question, the identification of the object of analysis, its empirical development, the role and relationship with the “interlocutors” and the tensions and changes that may occur during fieldwork. Classroom readings and presentations of classical and more recent anthropological ethnographies will be held in order to develop discussion and reflection about these and other questions will rise during classes.

the politics of technology

Philosophy of technology is a relatively recent discipline that deals with relationships between Technology, knowledge and society.
The course wants to answer to the following questions:
What is technology?
Is it possible to think about science without a reflexion on technology in the present technoscientific environment?
Which are the relationships between society and technology?
Which are the relevant changes introduced by technology in living styles?
Is it possible to consider technology as neutral and value and ideology free?
Technology has a relevant and permanent influence on science and on knowledge building in general but also on the definition of society and its working assets. Technical artefacts produce changes on society and are influenced by social choices, political constraints and economical investments.
In this course we will discuss the importance of philosophy of technology for philosophy itself, if we accept the idea that philosophy is a research for understanding and for acting on present. If we accept this perspective we cannot ignore the importance of technology.
Technology is created according to projects, objectives and standards on which society has no direct control, but technical objects have relevant consequences on the functioning of social practices including the epistemological ones.
Technology is a normative discipine (different from science). Its object is not the study of how things are in the world. it imposes an organization on the world in order for its devices to work correctly. It proposes and orders a regulation for society and it is in need that society imposes a regulation on its implementation: not all that it is feasible technically it is allowed.

Reading Self-Portrait by Carla Lonzi
The publication of the book Autoritratto marked the high point and conclusion of Carla Lonzi's professional activity as an art critic. Fifty-five years after its first release, and on the occasion of its republication as part of an extensive reissue of the art critic and feminist's writings, this course offers an updated and in-depth reading of a capital text of 20th-century Italian art criticism.
The book is the result of the editing of a series of conversations in which an exceptionally intelligent art critic and some of the leading artists working in Italy in the 1960s are brought together in an imaginary “banquet.” Carla Accardi, Getulio Alviani, Enrico Castellani, Pietro Consagra, Luciano Fabro, Lucio Fontana, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Nigro, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Mimmo Rotella, Salvatore Scarpitta, Giulio Turcato; completing the group was Cy Twombly, who Lonzi's (written) questions had never been answered.
The conversations had been recorded over the previous years, some intended from the outset for publication in a magazine or exhibition catalog, others remained unpublished, and still others caught in the context of sharing of ideas among friends. The informal nature of the conversations means that everything is talked about in the book, that the artists are questioned more often on a personal level than on a professional one, as it is also evident from the illustrative set, composed largely of photographs from family albums.

Sources, tools and methods for teaching geography. The Didactics of Geography course, through the study of the main issues related to the processes of learning/teaching geography, highlights the relationships that exist between research and the didactics of the discipline, and identifies methodologies and didactic tools capable of promoting in students an appropriate use of the lexicon and interpretive categories of the discipline in order to understand and contextualise the environmental and anthropic characteristics of the territory.
As an in-depth study, the course will focus on the sources, tools and methods for the study and teaching of different themes such as the sea, island territories and inland areas.
Course topics: Geographical knowledge in teaching and research; development of geographical skills; geographical education, territorial education; Agenda 2030; geography in schools and universities; national references and textbooks; geotechnologies and didactics.

Synthetic reasoning between sense and concept

The course aims to investigate the theory of gesture understood as a dynamic and continuous process of synthesis between sense and concept. In particular, starting from an analysis of the notion of synthetic judgment, the theory of transcendental schematism and mathematical and geometrical synthesis in Kant, we will then move on to analyze the metaphysical and mathematical question of the infinite and continuum in Georg Cantor and Charles S. Peirce. Finally, a proposal of mathematical gesture as a cognitive process will be explored.

The program syllabus will unfold as follows:
- Analysis of the Kantian distinction between synthetic and analytic judgments
- Analysis of Transcendental Schematism and the Kantian idea of the construction of mathematical and geometrical synthesis
- Proposal of an interpretative hypothesis of transcendental schematism as an active and dynamic synthesis of sense and concept through gesture
- Examination of Peirce's proposal of a logic of continuity
- Examination of Poincaré's conception of mathematics
- Proposal of a hypothesis on the mathematical gesture as a cognitive process starting with Giuseppe Longo

The Course firstly aims to provide, through the main available technical and scientific data, an understanding of the state of health of the Planet starting from the identification of the main biogeophysical processes that regulate the stability and resilience of the Earth system. In application of the Planetary Boundaries theory, existing critical issues and their causes will be highlighted.
The main documents of international environmental law and its evolution over the past fifty years will then be analyzed.
It will then move on to an illustration of European environmental law, highlighting the main rules of the Law of Treaties, the secondary law and the most relevant communications in recent years including the European Green Deal. The important role of action plans and European courts in the evolution of environmental law will be analysed. A special focus will be dedicated to the principles of environmental law, the concept of circular economy in its various meanings, and the systemic approach needed to face complexity.
In national law, the prominence of environmental issues in the Constitutional text and in the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court will be explored, as well as the norms of the Environment code with the various sectoral disciplines (waste, remediation, air, water, soil, etc.) with the various jurisprudence applying them.
It will examine whether we can speak of a real change in the economic Constitution of the country and the interactions between the economy and environmental protection, the concept of sustainable production. Special emphasis will be given to the administrative law of the environment (subjects of environmental policies, measures, proceedings, environmental and strategic impact assessments etc.).
It will be concluded by attempting to highlight the evolutionary process found in the discipline of environmental law today.

This workshop aims to be an introduction to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and will be structured in two parts, one more theoretical and one more applied.
The first part will give a general presentation of the 2030 Agenda, its origins, signatory and non-signatory countries (etc.) but above all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals commonly known as the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda will be examined. Ample space will be devoted to the critical discussion of the structure of the Agenda and of the links between its various objectives, both in terms of complementarity and in terms of possible contradictions.
The second part will then explore some of the Agenda's objectives, with a particular focus on the revitalization of marginal areas. Depending on the specific interests and/or the chosen study plans, questions will be asked about the "dimensions" of the marginality of people and geographical areas and about the various forms of exploitation that can arise from them. This analysis can be conducted both in Italy and in other European countries or on other continents.
At the same time, those who follow the workshop will be guided in the collective creation of audiovisual products, to promote the dissemination of the research carried out.

Never before in recent years has the idea of Europe been at the center of public debate: for some, it is the only lifeline against nationalism and war; for others, it is the ultimate cause of all our problems and woes, especially economic ones. The invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin's Russia in February 2022 has not only revived the classic themes of war and peace in public discourse but also brought back into focus the issue of the eastern expansion of the concept of Europe, a question with extraordinary historical depth.
Only a profound understanding of the long-term history of European civilization and its interactions with other civilizations around the globe can allow us to decode issues that only superficially appear to be purely contemporary. In the first part of the course, we will focus on the evolution of the notion of Europe, the various thoughts about Europe, and the long-term development of European consciousness. In the second part, we will delve into the phenomenon of exodus and internal migrations within the continent for religious reasons: whether voluntary or forced, they are the dramatic outcome of the process of confessionalization and the construction of modern statehood, characterized by the pursuit of purity through the expulsion and marginalization of religious diversity

The aim of the course is to analyse the history of European systems in the second half of the 20th century from the angle of Italy, highlighting common challenges and national specificities.

For bureaucratic-administrative reasons the course is divided into two modules of 6 CFU each. Despite this, the lectures will follow a thematic pattern common to both modules. The topics of the books in the second module (‘Berlusconism’ and one of the countries of choice) will in fact already be addressed in the lectures on the first module. In short, the distinction is purely bureaucratic and not one of content. Attendance is therefore recommended to all for the entire duration of the course, regardless of the number of Cfu to be recorded.

In any case, since the bureaucratic subdivision is there, then in defining the syllabuses and course books the distinction should be made

A historical perspective on religions must grasp the stratification of their presence on the territory and reconstruct their dynamics and strategies: since 2007, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas and cities have become the privileged space of contestations, conflicts, negotiation of interests, creation of symbolic resources and capital concerning religion. Innovations and trends concerning religious beliefs and practices are created in cities. Theoretical knowledge will be provided on the concept of religious space/place, the results of empirical research on the presence of religious places in increasingly plural spaces also due to migration movements and diaspora processes.

The main case study will be that of shared religious places. In particular, places where religions coexist in public spaces and in urban and suburban contexts will be analysed. In particular, studies on the relationship between space and religion: from the geography of religion to the geographies of religions.

Theories, concepts, terminology, methods related to the study of religious places and the location of the sacred in space through materiality and planning relations will be exposed and discussed.

We will firstly define the main characteristics and contents of the Environmental humanities study area. Then we will focus on how humanities and social sciences stand before the regulatory ontology of the neoliberal growth system. This is based on an apparently contradictory mixture of vitalistic unleashing and rational anticipatory ordering, where the goal is no longer disciplining the living system and the living beings but the possibility to profit from indeterminacy, i.e. from the continuous liberation of energy.
Humanities and social sciences, increasingly dominated by a neo-materialist perspective, play an ambiguous role in this framework: on the one hand, they aim to eco-critically denounce all forms of domination of the human and the non-human; on the other hand, by working on the deconstruction of some traditional dualisms (nature/culture, nature/technology, words/things, reality/knowledge, living/non-living, etc.), they contribute to settle a de-regulation imaginary in which ecological threats, far from being opposed, are actually indulged.
With this awareness, we will try to reflect on the possible ways out, exploring the analytical, critical, and political potential of some liminal conceptual frames (the "form of life," dépense and the Bataillean general economy, degrowth and so on).

The war tale, between literature and journalism

The course is divided into two parts. The first is introductory: it will analyse some forms of journalistic representation of society (such as the enquiry, the reportage, the documentary, the literary description, the cross-media narration) with a special focus on the analysis of the writing style. The second part is thematic: the case study will be the representation of war by some writers/journalists of the second half of the 20th century. In particular, Ernest Hemingway, Vasilij Grossman, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Goffredo Parise, Michael Heer, Ryszard Kapuscinski, Luca Rastello, Edward Said and Alessandro Leogrande

Travel’s reports of the past are a preferred source for the construction of geographical thought and culture. Particularly between the late Middle Ages and Modern Age, travel’s relations allows to retrace the complex process of widening of Europeans’ geographical horizon. In western society the relationship between geography and travel’s reports has changed over the centuries, to the need to sort and reprocess the information gathered, to create a geographical knowledge built on valid rules, correlations between phenomena and rational criteria for classification. During the course will be analyzed practices of travel, travelers and travel’s reports, in their various types. Will also be considered some examples of travel’s reports that, throughout history, have marked the collective imagination and the construction of the world’s modern image. Testimony of travel’s experiences, travel literature has become ever more an instrument of knowledge of the territory and of human communities, through understanding the other and the elsewhere, but also the culture that looks at the other and at the space, for as this was and still is organized on the basis of many human needs (exploration, knowledge, tourism, etc.).

The exam program will be valid from the 2025 summer session.

The course focuses on the crisis of the "developmentist" modernity, analyzing its original features and its institutional and regulative evolutions, in connection with the changing characters of social theory.
In the final part, we will try to imagine the features of a post-development society, taking inspiration from the "meridian thinking" by Franco Cassano.

The Laboratory aims to offer theoretical and practical knowledge on the tools for the recognition, enhancement and capitalization of cultural heritage, through the acquisition of technical and IT skills. In particular, each student will be introduced to the use of GIS software for the creation of a geodatabase for the census and geolocation of the assets under study, which also takes into account the territorialization processes that have taken place over time in the geographical context investigated.
