- Il Villaggio del Pescatore tra ricerca, tutela e valorizzazione / The
Villaggio del Pescatore: research, protection, enhancement
Authors: Emanuela Murgia
Pages: 17 - 34
Abstract: Il Villaggio del Pescatore (Ts), fu costruito per dare asilo a una quarantina di famiglie di pescatori dei territori ceduti all’ex Jugoslavia, tra il 1951 e il 1952. Il sito si pone in una zona di transizione ambientale suggestiva, nella quale le caratteristiche della zona collinare del Carso tendono a ibridarsi con quelle costiere. Contraddistinta da testimonianze paleontologiche, archeologiche e storiche, questa zona convive con una zona a vocazione infrastrutturale e industriale. L’area è oggetto di un Accordo, tra la Regione Autonoma Friuli Venezia Giulia, il MIBACT e il Comune di Duino Aurisina, finalizzato alla creazione di un parco naturalistico, archeologico e paleontologico. Questo contributo presenta potenzialità e limiti di questo progetto attraverso tre paradigmi di indagine, ovvero il ruolo dell’archeologo, la necessità di una promozione culturale sostenibile e, infine, la progettazione partecipata come strumento ideale di tutela e “cura” del paesaggio.The Villaggio del Pescatore is located in the province of Trieste. It was built to give asylum to about forty fishermen families who came from the territories that had been ceded to the former Yugoslavia, between 1951 and 1952. The site is located in an environmental and transitional area, where the characteristics of the Karst hills tend to hybridise with those of the coast. Distinguished by palaeontological, archaeological and historical evidence, this area coexists with an infrastructural and industrial zone. The Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, MIBACT and the Municipality of Duino Aurisina signed an Agreement aimed at the creation of a naturalistic, archaeological and palaeontological park. This paper presents the potentials and limits of this project through three investigation paradigms, namely the role of the archaeologist, the need for sustainable cultural promotion and, finally, participatory planning as an ideal tool for landscape protection and care.

- Il bestiario medievale del Museo Nazionale di Ravenna: un sarcofaghetto
con leoni/The medieval bestiary in the National Museum of Ravenna: a small
sarcophagus with lions
Authors: Paola Novara
Pages: 35 - 58
Abstract: Il materiale scultoreo altomedievale conservato in Ravenna ha avuto meno fortuna rispetto a quello dei secoli V-VI, che da almeno un secolo è oggetto di studio. Forse questa è la conseguenza della esigua quantità di manufatti. In genere i frammenti ravennati, attribuibili ai secoli che vanno dal VII al IX, appartengono a quella produzione diffusasi durante il periodo carolingio, caratterizzata da pochi e ricorrenti motivi decorativi. Un solo oggetto, conservato presso il Museo Nazionale di Ravenna, esula da questo gruppo sia per i temi che vi sono raffigurati, sia per la resa. Si tratta di un sarcofaghetto con la fronte decorata, che ad oggi, non ha attirato l’interesse degli studiosi. In questa sede si propone una analisi del pezzo. The early medieval sculptural objects preserved in Ravenna has had less success than that of the 5th-6th centuries, which have been studied for at least a century. Perhaps this is the consequence of the small amount of objects. In general, the Ravenna fragments, attributable to the centuries ranging from the 7th to the 9th, belong to the production that spread during the Carolingian period, characterized by few and recurring decorative motifs. Only one object, kept at the National Museum of Ravenna, falls outside this group both for the themes that are depicted there, and for the rendering. It is a small sarcophagus with a decorated forehead, which to date has not attracted the interest of scholars. Here an analysis of the piece is proposed.

- Iñigo D’avalos D’aragona «Un cardinale di gran maneggio» nella Roma
di fine Cinquecento /Iñigo D’avalos D’aragona «Un cardinale di gran
maneggio» in Rome at the end of the 16th century
Authors: Francesco Spina
Pages: 59 - 92
Abstract: Il saggio ricostruisce la personalità del cardinal Iňigo d'Avalos d'Aragona, esponente di spicco della famiglia napoletana, morto a Roma nel 1600.Il ritrovamento dell'inventario post-mortem dei beni contenuti nella sua residenza romana, l'odierno Palazzo Fiano a piazza S. Lorenzo in Lucina, offre un prospetto delle sue scelte collezionistiche, risarcendo la fama della sua guardaroba, a partire dalla ricchissima serie degli argenti.Scorrendo i pagamenti effettuati dall'erede Tommaso d'Avalos al fine di colmare il passivo ereditario, inoltre, si è potuta mettere in luce almeno una parte di quella rete di relazioni che l'illustre porporato aveva istituito con artigiani e artisti della Roma di fine Secolo, a partire dalle botteghe insistenti intorno S. Lorenzo in Lucina.Particolare attenzione è data alla cappella palatina allestita dal cardinale e al ciclo cristologico dipinto da Iacopo Zucchi, le cui pale d'altare erano esposte a rotazione seguendo il calendario liturgico. Come ricorda Baglione, queste, in seguito alla morte del cardinale, furono installate provvisoriamente sugli altari della Basilica di S. Pietro. A tal proposito, un'ipotesi ricostruttiva, qui per la prima volta proposta, potrebbe lasciar intendere che la grande Resurrezione e l’Ascensione, certamente parte del ciclo di Zucchi, furono esposte sugli altari di S. Pietro già prima della morte del cardinale e per suo espresso desiderio, allorché questi si trovò ad essere nominato legato a latere di Clemente VIII, trasferitosi con la corte a Ferrara a seguito della devoluzione del Ducato (1597). The essay reconstructs Cardinal Iňigo d'Avalos d'Aragona’s personality, one of the leading member of the Neapolitan family. The cardinal died in Rome in 1600.The discovery of the post-mortem inventory of the possessions contained in his Roman residence, today's Palazzo Fiano in Piazza S. Lorenzo in Lucina, offers an overview of his collecting choices, redressing the reputation of his wardrobe, starting with the extremely rich series of silverware.Scrolling through the payments made by the heir Tommaso d'Avalos in order to make up the hereditary liabilities, moreover, it was possible to bring to light at least part of the network of relations that the illustrious cardinal had established with artisans and artists in late 20th-century Rome, starting with the workshops insisting around S. Lorenzo in Lucina.Particular attention is given to the palatine chapel set up by the cardinal and the Christological cycle painted by Iacopo Zucchi, whose altarpieces were displayed in rotation following the liturgical calendar. As Baglione recalls, these, following the cardinal's death, were temporarily installed on the altars of St. Peter's Basilica. In this regard, a reconstructive hypothesis, proposed here for the first time, might suggest that the great Resurrection and Ascension, certainly part of Zucchi's cycle, were already displayed on the altars of St. Peter's before the cardinal's death and at his express wish, when he found himself appointed legate a latere to Clement VIII, who had moved with his court to Ferrara following the devolution of the Duchy (1597).

- Giovanni da San Giovanni nel monastero di Annalena a Firenze: storia di un
ciclo di affreschi dimenticato e del suo arrivo in Gran Bretagna /
Giovanni da San Giovanni in the Annalena monastery in Florence: history of
a forgotten fresco cycle and its arrival in Great Britain
Authors: Gianluca Sposato
Pages: 93 - 128
Abstract: Il presente contributo si propone di far nuova luce sulla storia di un importante ciclo ad affresco del ‘600 fiorentino, raffigurante in 15 lunette i Misteri del Rosario e realizzato dal pittore valdarnese Giovanni da San Giovanni per l’ex monastero di Annalena a Firenze. Il ciclo è stato a lungo dimenticato perché considerato distrutto a inizio XIX secolo. Le pitture murali, invece, vennero risparmiate dalle demolizioni del complesso: riportate su tela dal restauratore emiliano Giovanni Rizzoli, presero la strada della Gran Bretagna alla fine dell’800. Le inedite informazioni sono emerse dallo studio di numerose fonti a stampa e dalla consultazione di diversi archivi in Italia e in Inghilterra. La riscoperta della riproduzione a stampa dei Misteri (pubblicata nel 1904) potrà sicuramente favorire il ritrovamento del ciclo in terra inglese.The paper aims to shed new light on the history of an important 17th century Florentine fresco cycle, depicting the Mysteries of the Rosary in 15 lunettes, made by Giovanni da San Giovanni in the former Annalena monastery in Florence. The cycle was long forgotten, since it was considered destroyed at the beginning of the 19th century: the artworks survived, however, transferred to canvas by the Emilian restorer Giovanni Rizzoli, and ended up in Great Britain by the end of the 19th century. Many unpublished information emerged from the study of numerous printed sources and from the consultation of numerous archives in Italy and England. The rediscovery of the engravings of the Mysteries (published in 1904) will certainly favor the possible discovery of the cycle in England as well.

- Nostra Signora di Bonaria tra Sardegna, Spagna e Argentina. Genesi,
evoluzione e diffusione dell’iconografia / Our Lady of Bonaria among
Sardinia, Spain and Argentina. Origin, evolution, and diffusion of the
iconography
Authors: Sara Caredda
Pages: 129 - 170
Abstract: Il santuario di Nostra Signora di Bonaria, sito su un colle a pochi passi dal porto di Cagliari, custodisce il simulacro ligneo di una vergine invocata come protettrice dei naviganti. In età moderna il suo culto si diffuse dalla Sardegna per tutto il Mediterraneo occidentale, raggiungendo la penisola iberica e salpando poi verso il continente americano, in particolar modo verso l’Argentina, dove è conosciuta come la Virgen del Buen Aire o la Virgen de los Buenos Aires.L’obiettivo del presente saggio è quello di esaminare la genesi dell’iconografia bonariense, la sua evoluzione e le sue varianti tra la fine del Cinquecento e il Settecento, periodo che corrisponde al momento di massima espansione della devozione. Sullo sfondo del potenziamento delle sacre immagini -soprattutto mariane- in epoca postridentina, lo studio si prefigge di realizzare un primo censimento di rappresentazioni pittoriche, grafiche e scultoree, basandosi allo stesso tempo sull’analisi di documenti d’archivio e di agiografie, in modo da leggere l’iconografia e il culto una alla luce dell’altro. The sanctuary of Our lady of Bonaria, located in Cagliari, on the top of a hill in front of the the port, displays the wooden statue of a Madonna considered protector of seafarers. In the Modern Age her cult spread from Sardinia across the Mediterranean, reaching Spain and then crossing the ocean to the Americas, especially Argentina, where it is known as the Virgen del Buen Aire or the Virgen de los Buenos Aires.The aim of this essay is to examine the origin of the iconography, its evolution, and its variations between the end of the 16th century and the 18th century, when the devotion reached its maximum expansion. Considering the importance of sacred images, especially those of the Virgin Mary, in the Postridentine Catholic Church, the purpose of the research is to create a catalogue of paintings, engravings and sculptures representing the Madonna of Bonaria. At the same time, this study is based on the analysis of archival documents and hagiographies, exploring the relationship between the iconography and the cult.

- Una pittrice russa nell’Italia del Risorgimento: Sofia Sukhovo-Kobylina
/ A Russian painter in the Italy of the Risorgimento: Sofia
Sukhovo-Kobylina
Authors: Bella Takushinova
Pages: 171 - 200
Abstract: Numerosi furono i rapporti artistici fra la Russia e l’Italia nel XIX secolo. Ancora poco studiato è il fenomeno delle pittrici che trascorsero soggiorni di studio nella penisola. Tra queste vi è un nome del tutto ignoto agli studi europei e poco conosciuto persino agli storici dell’arte russa: Sof’ja Sukhovo-Kobylina. Fu non solo la prima donna ad essere insignita della grande medaglia d’oro dell’Accademia Imperiale di belle arti di San Pietroburgo ma, soprattutto, anche l’unica artista russa ad aver soggiornato in Italia durante il Risorgimento. Diretta testimone della spedizione dei Mille, dei discorsi di Garibaldi e del brigantaggio romano, Sukhovo-Kobylina lasciò delle interessanti testimonianze sulla sua decennale attività nel Bel Paese. Basato sulla corrispondenza inedita della pittrice, l’articolo vuole contribuire alla ricostruzione di una storia sociale delle artiste russe nel corso del XIX secolo. There were numerous artistic relations between Russia and Italy in the XIX century. Yet there is a still little studied phenomenon of female painters who perfected their professional skills in Bel Paese during that period. Among these there is a name that is completely unknown to European studies, and little known even to the history of Russian art: Sof’ja Sukhovo-Kobylina. She was not only the first woman to be awarded the great gold medal of the St. Petersburg’s Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, but also the only Russian female artist to have stayed in Italy during the Risorgimento. A direct witness to the Expedition of the Thousand, the speeches of Garibaldi and the Roman banditry, Sukhovo-Kobylina left curious testimonies of her ten-year Italian stay. Based on the artist’s unpublished correspondence, the article aims to contribute to the reconstruction of a social history of Russian female painters during the XIX century.

- Huysmans critico d’arte: la fortuna dei primitivi fiamminghi/Huysmans,
an art critic. The fortune of the Flamish Primitives Painters.
Authors: Simone Ferrari
Pages: 201 - 214
Abstract: Rileggendo gli scritti di Joris Karl Huysmans, autore poliedrico e assai sensibile al mondo dell’arte, l’articolo indaga i suoi interventi, numerosi quantitativamente e specifici qualitativamente, dedicati ai “primitivi” fiamminghi. Il tema dei “primitivi”, sia riguardo al mondo nordico sia in senso generale, è da tempo oggetto di ampio interesse storiografico. Ma Huysmans dimostra un’attenzione ed una qualità specifica assai precoce, in anticipo sul grande dibattito novecentesco, che esula da una generica rivisitazione letteraria, presente invece in altri autori e che fa di lui una moderna figura di critico d’arte, attento a problemi stilistici, attributivi e qualitativi. The paper focuses on Joris Karl Huysmans, the famous author and art critic and as is well know, passionate about Moreau and Redon. In addition to this interest, many pages of his novels are dedicated to a very interesting topic: the Flamish Primitives Painters. From a general point of view, their fortune over the centuries has been established from quite a long time. But Huysmans, unlike most writers, exhibits a specific competence and can be considered as a true art critic, focused on matter of style, quality and connoisseurship.

- Percorsi dell’astrazione negli anni Cinquanta: Note sulle Spirali e i
Totem di Roberto Crippa (1950-1956) / The Paths of Abstraction in the
1950s: Notes on Roberto Crippa's Spirals and Totems (1950-1956)
Authors: Caterina Caputo
Pages: 215 - 240
Abstract: L'articolo ripercorre la vicenda artistica di Roberto Crippa (Monza, 1921 – Bresso, 1972) a partire dal 1950, ovvero dalla data di adesione al gruppo degli Spazialisti, con il quale, quell'anno, sottoscrisse la Proposta di un regolamento. Movimento spaziale. Il tema prescelto da Crippa per dare graficamente forma alle concezioni teoriche Spazialiste fu la spirale, delineata sul supporto attraverso la stesura di linee nette e concise eseguite con ritmi gestuali impulsivi. Partendo da un'analisi delle opere eseguite tra il 1950 e il 1955 e dal reperimento di documenti d'archivio per massima parte inediti, il presente contributo rintraccia come snodi centrali della poetica di Crippa non solo la militanza nello Spazialismo e la conoscenza degli esiti elaborati dalle correnti informali coeve, ma ritrova nei contatti con i surrealisti, in particolare nel rapporto diretto con Roberto Matta ed Enrico Donati, uno snodo fondamentale per comprendere appieno le sperimentazioni linguistiche compiute dall'artista nella prima metà degli anni Cinquanta.The article investigates Roberto Crippa's (Monza, 1921 - Bresso, 1972) artistic career from 1950, when he joined the Spatialist group signing the manifesto Proposta di un regolamento. Movimento Spaziale. The theme chosen by Crippa to graphically shape the theoretical conceptions of the Spatialism was the spiral, outlined on the surface through a clear and concise line drew by impulsive gestural rhythms. By analysing unpublished archival documents as well as works of artworks realised by Crippa between 1950 and 1955, this study finds as a fundamental moment in Crippa's art, not only the Spatialists’ theories and the Art Informel, but also Crippa’s direct contact with Surrealist artists, in particular with Roberto Matta and Enrico Donati. These relationships were two fundamental chapters for fully understanding Crippa's œuvre of the first half of the fifties.

Abstract: La rappresentazione della guerra è passata, sovente, anche attraverso la produzione di plastici che costituiscono oggi un patrimonio prezioso e affascinanti dispositivi di visualizzazione di eventi e luoghi del passato. A tal proposito, vogliamo qui presentare un primo resoconto dei lavori in corso sulle collezioni di plastici topografici conservate presso il Museo Storico Italiano della Guerra di Rovereto.Il focus sarà dedicato a metter in luce le fasi di lavoro, le difficoltà incontrate nel processo di studio e alcune riflessioni in relazione alle modalità di schedatura di tali materiali. Per questo, prenderemo quale punto di avvio lo studio del plastico del Monte Pasubio, recentemente esposto durante la mostra temporanea “Armate in Miniatura. Collezioni del Museo della Guerra” (Torbole sul Garda) al fine di riflettere sul metodo di schedatura di tali modelli topografici, partendo dalla scheda OA (opere-oggetti d’arte) dell’ICCD (Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione). The representation of war has often passed through the production of models which today constitute a precious heritage and fascinating devices for displaying events and places of the past. In this regard, we want to present here a first report of the work in progress on the collections of topographical models preserved at the Italian War History Museum in Rovereto. The focus will be dedicated to highlighting the work phases, the difficulties encountered in the study process and some reflections in relation to the methods of filing such materials. For this, we will take as a starting point the study of the model of Mountain Pasubio, recently exhibited during the temporary exhibition “Armate in Miniatura. Collections of the War Museum” (Torbole sul Garda) to reflect on the method of filing these topographic models, starting from the OA (works-art objects) form of the ICCD (Central Institute for Catalog and Documentation).

Abstract: The aim of this contribution is to illustrate the strategies for the valorisation of rural areas in Sardinia, an island in which all the territory with the exception of the coasts is to be considered a rural area. After an introduction which mentions the major initiatives adopted, which also have repercussions at an international level (inscriptions in the UNESCO lists), two case studies are proposed referring to two non-contiguous areas, characterized by different history, infrastructures and natural and economic resources. The first case concerns the town of Ulassai, in the Ogliastra sub-region, which in 2022 benefited from NRRP funds for small villages. The second case refers to the town of Neoneli, in the Barigadu sub-region, where a series of collaborative laboratories involving the community have been activated, relying only on the resources of the municipality with the collaboration of the University. In examining the two cases, reference is made to the bibliography and specific documentation.
Lo scopo di questo contributo è illustrare le strategie per la valorizzazione delle aree rurali in Sardegna, un'isola in cui tutto il territorio, ad eccezione delle coste, è da considerarsi area rurale. Dopo un'introduzione che cita le principali iniziative adottate con ricadute anche a livello internazionale (iscrizioni nelle liste UNESCO), vengono proposti due casi studio riferiti a due aree non contigue, caratterizzate da storia, infrastrutture e risorse naturali ed economiche differenti . Il primo caso riguarda il comune di Ulassai, nella subregione Ogliastra, che nel 2022 ha beneficiato dei fondi PNR per i piccoli borghi. Il secondo caso si riferisce al comune di Neoneli, nella subregione Barigadu, dove sono stati attivati una serie di laboratori collaborativi che coinvolgono la comunità, avvalendosi solo delle risorse del comune con la collaborazione dell'Università. Nell'esaminare i due casi si fa riferimento alla bibliografia e alla documentazione specifica.

- Museos serializados. Arquetipos iconográficos del museo en series de
animación
Authors: Jairo Guerrero Vicente, Anabel Fernández Moreno
Pages: 261 - 280
Abstract: Desde el siglo XVIII el museo ha intentado distinguirse formalmente del resto de los edificios, perpetuando una iconografía que persiste en el imaginario popular. En este artículo nos propusimos averiguar si ese arquetipo se replica en uno de los productos audiovisuales más consumidos de la actualidad, las series de animación. Para la realización de la investigación se han analizado 34 museos aparecidos en capítulos de diferentes temporadas de algunas de las series de animación más populares y galardonadas en los últimos 25 años. Los datos nominales se obtuvieron en distintas webs especializadas, pero también se emplearon tablas y fichas de elaboración propia para registrar las variables del museo tras la visualización de los episodios. Analizados los diferentes ítems, los resultados reflejan el predominio de determinados estilos arquitectónicos, colecciones museográficas o patrones de comportamiento del público, aunque con matices.Since the 18th century, the museum has tried to distinguish itself formally from the rest of the buildings, perpetuating an iconography that persists in the popular imagination. In this article, we set out to find out if this archetype is replicated in one of today's most consumed audio-visual products, the animated series. To carry out the research, 34 museums that appeared in chapters of different seasons of some of the most popular and award-winning animated series in the last 25 years were analysed. Nominal data were obtained from different specialised websites, but tables and sheets of our elaboration were also used to record the museum variables after viewing the episodes. After analysing the different items, the results reflect the predominance of specific architectural styles, museum collections or public behaviour patterns, although with nuances.

- Geografie del verde, geografie del gusto: riflessioni sull’attrattività
turistica dei giardini/Geographies of green, geographies of taste:
insights on the tourist attractiveness of gardens
Authors: Stefania Cerutti, Siria Moroso
Pages: 281 - 300
Abstract: Giardini e turismo, un binomio che riporta a una storia densa e articolata di relazioni ed esperienze che affondano le proprie radici in epoche lontane, secondo modalità di visita e fruizione che hanno sedimentato e definito i contorni del cosiddetto, e più recente, garden tourism. Fenomeno noto e popolare in Europa, prodotto turistico consolidato in Inghilterra e Francia, trova ancora alcune resistenze in Italia in termini di proposte sistemiche e integrate a livello territoriale, rendendo i giardini delle “comparse”, piuttosto che dei “protagonisti”, nello scenario turistico delle destinazioni che cercano tempi e modi rinnovati per attrarre, depolarizzare, destagionalizzare i propri flussi.In questa cornice, il presente contributo si interroga sulla capacità attrattiva e motivazionale dei giardini, eleggendo il caso di studio del Cusio, in Piemonte, quale campo di indagine condotta mediante un sondaggio creato ad hoc. Ciò consente di individuare richieste e percezioni dal lato della domanda turistica e possibili indicazioni da quello dell’offerta, al fine di declinare e promuovere il garden tourism nel contesto del Lago d’Orta, oggetto di indagine. Ne discende che le proposte di turismo dei giardini debbano basarsi su dati e necessità reali, che ne misurino la sostenibilità, ed essere correlate alle aspettative dei visitatori e alle potenzialità delle “risorse verdi” locali, che ne valorizzino il patrimonio. Gardens and tourism, a combinational pairing that brings back to a dense and articulated history of relationships and experiences rooted in distant epochs, according to visiting and fruition modalities that have sedimented and defined the outlines of the so-called, and more recent, garden tourism. A well-known and popular phenomenon in Europe, a consolidated tourist product in England and France, it still finds some resistance in Italy in terms of systemic and integrated proposals at a territorial level, making gardens “extras” rather than “protagonists” in the tourist scenario of that destinations looking for renewed steps and ways to attract, depolarise and de-seasonalise their flows.In this framework, the paper aims at questioning the attractiveness and motivational capacity of gardens, choosing the case study of Cusio, in Piedmont region, as the field of geographical investigation developed through a survey created ad hoc. This makes it possible to identify requests and perceptions on the tourist demand side and possible suggestions on the supply side, in order to promote the garden tourism in the context of Lake Orta, subject of the survey. It follows that garden tourism proposals have here to be based on real data and needs, which measure their sustainability, and correlate with the expectations of visitors and the potential of local “green resources”, which enhance their heritage.

- Cultura smart e fotografia. Il recupero della rappresentazione
territoriale del turista / Smart Culture and Photography. The Enhancement
of the Tourist's Territory Representation
Authors: Sonia Malvica
Pages: 301 - 322
Abstract: L’incremento e il potenziamento delle tecnologie e della condivisione del contenuto generato dall’utente hanno comportato l’entrata in scena del turismo digitale prima e di quello fisico-digitale dopo: in quest’ultimo caso si parla di smart tourism, il quale incorpora tecnologie di informazione e comunicazione nel territorio, modificando il vissuto esperienziale del turista. Lo scopo del presente contributo è, dopo aver evidenziato i tratti peculiari dello smart tourism, sottolineare l’importanza della fotografia come smart technology. Pur non godendo delle stesse dosi di immersività di tecnologie più avanzate, in qualità di strumento mediatico e cognitivo la fotografia abbraccia l’esperienza turistica andando oltre la comunicazione prettamente visiva: l’individuo, infatti, necessita di scattare fotografie nel rispetto della cattura di un vissuto multisensoriale, così che uno scatto “mancato” potrebbe rivelarsi testimonianza di un’aspettativa delusa e, dunque, di un fallimento di promozione della destinazione. Si auspica, di conseguenza, una dovuta attenzione alla pratica fotografica all’interno di un turismo “intelligente”. The increase and enhancement of technologies and the sharing of user-generated content entailed the development of digital tourism first and physical-digital tourism later. In the latter case, we speak of smart tourism, which incorporates information and communication technologies in the territory modifying the experience of the tourist. After highlighting the peculiar traits of smart tourism, this contribution aims to emphasize the importance of photography as smart technology. While not enjoying the same doses of immersion as more advanced technologies, photography is a medium as well as cognitive component that embraces tourist experience, going beyond purely visual communication. People need to take photographs of a multisensory experience, so a “missed” photo could claim a disappointed expectation and, therefore, a failed destination promotion. In conclusion, major attention to photographic practice within “intelligent” tourism is recommended.

- Le vie di comunicazione nel territorio campano della Media Valle del
Volturno tra l’area alifana e quella telesina sino all’età moderna:
dalla cartografia storica al GIS / The communication routes in the
Campania region of the Media Valle del Volturno between the Alifana and
Telesina areas up to the modern age: from historical cartography to GIS
Authors: Rosario De Iulio, Pacifico Cofrancesco
Pages: 323 - 356
Abstract: Questo lavoro presenta un’analisi storico-geografica dello sviluppo in età moderna della rete viaria del territorio della media valle del Volturno comprendente le aree alifana e telesina, facente parte dell’attuale regione Campania, posto in un luogo di snodo strategico tra i versanti tirrenico e adriatico. La cartografia storica esistente, opportunamente georeferenziata ed inserita in un sistema informativo geografico (GIS), è stata la fonte principale per la ricostruzione diacronica del sistema viario di quest’area. Dal punto di vista metodologico, si è fatto anche ricorso, quando disponibili, a fonti testuali, come diari di viaggio, itinerari e rapporti, contenenti informazioni su strade, ponti, taverne o altri elementi, ricollegabili a percorsi viari del Medio Volturno. Il tutto con l’obiettivo di proporre una approfondita comprensione delle dinamiche evolutive del territorio in esame, considerata come il punto di partenza di un processo di programmazione e valorizzazione dell’intera area, anche in chiave turistica. Il lavoro si conclude dimostrando ancora una volta che si perpetuano vecchi errori di pianificazione, ossia la costruzione di importanti assi di comunicazione di collegamento tra le aree metropolitane della parte meridionale del paese (ferrovia e superstrada) senza che il territorio attraversato possa aver avuto vantaggi in termini di sviluppo.This work presents an historical-geographical analysis of the development patterns in the modern age of the road network of the middle Volturno valley comprising the Alifana and Telesina area, included in the current Campania region and located in a strategic junction between the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas. The existing historical cartography, appropriately georeferenced and inserted in a geographic information system (GIS), was the main source for the diachronic reconstruction of the road system in this area. From a methodological point of view, textual sources were also used, when available, such as travel diaries, itineraries and reports, containing information on roads, bridges, taverns or other elements, which can be connected to road routes in the middle Volturno. All work was accomplished with the aim of proposing an in-depth understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of the territory in question serving as the starting point of a planning and enhancement process of the entire area, including from a tourism point of view. The work concludes by demonstrating once again that previous planning errors are perpetuated, i.e. the construction of important communication axes (railway and expressway) connecting the metropolitan areas of the southern part of the country without having any advantages in terms of development patterns.

Abstract: With the implementation of the Farm to Fork Strategy, the European Union aims to drastically reduce the use of synthetic chemical inputs and convert at least 25% of land to organic farming, which is the main alternative to the industrial/intensive production model, with many positive implications also in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, the agri-food system is facing market problems caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with increases in production costs, prices of agricultural products and their volatility, affecting the most vulnerable actors in the supply chain, namely farmers and consumers. The objective of the paper is to analyse the effectiveness of organizational innovations in facilitating the process of converting agribusinesses to organic farming, with a focus on the supply chain, territorial coordination, and advisory services. Con l'attuazione della Strategia Farm to Fork, l'Unione Europea punta a ridurre drasticamente l'impiego degli input chimici di sintesi e a convertire almeno il 25% dei terreni in agricoltura biologica, che rappresenta la principale alternativa al modello di produzione industriale/intensivo, con molte implicazioni positive anche in termini di riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra. attualmente, il sistema agroalimentare sta affrontando i problemi di mercato causati dalla pandemia di Covid-19 e dal conflitto tra Russia e Ucraina, con aumenti dei costi di produzione, dei prezzi dei prodotti agricoli e della loro volatilità, che si ripercuote sugli attori più vulnerabili della filiera, ovvero agricoltori e consumatori. L'obiettivo del documento è analizzare l'efficacia delle innovazioni organizzative nel facilitare il processo di conversione delle aziende agroalimentari all'agricoltura biologica, con particolare attenzione alla filiera, al coordinamento territoriale e ai servizi di consulenza.

- Educational tourism as a driver for rural development: assessing
competition and strategic choices of Italian language and culture schools
in the Marche Region (Italy) through Porter’s Five Forces / Il turismo
educativo come motore di sviluppo rurale: valutare la concorrenza e le
scelte strategiche delle scuole di lingua e cultura italiana nelle Marche

Abstract: Educational tourism is a growing industry, that includes a variety of niches. Among these, language tourism involves language and culture schools for foreigners that also provide hospitality and tourism services, including tours and excursions, field visits and cultural initiatives, and experiential workshops. These realities, if located in rural contexts, can represent a growth factor for rural areas and an opportunity for cultural exchange between tourists and local communities. To better understand forces and factors influencing this industry, this study describes the case of two Italian language and culture schools for foreigners which also offer tourism services in a rural area of the Marche Region, near the city of Macerata. Through semi-structured qualitative interviews and by applying the theoretical model of Porter’s Forces, the case presents an overview competitive environment, pointing out strategic choices and distinctive aspects of the presented realities.Il turismo educativo rappresenta un’industria in forte crescita, che accoglie al suo interno una serie di nicchie molto variegata. Tra queste vi è il turismo generato dall’offerta formativa delle scuole di lingua e cultura per stranieri che, oltre ai servizi relativi all’insegnamento della lingua, offrono ospitalità, tour ed escursioni, visite e iniziative culturali, laboratori esperienziali. Tali realtà, se localizzate in contesti rurali, possono rappresentare un fattore di crescita per le aree rurali e un’occasione di scambio culturale tra turisti e comunità locali. Per comprendere al meglio le forze e i fattori che influenzano il settore, questo studio descrive il caso di due scuole di lingua e cultura italiana per stranieri che offrono anche servizi turistici in un’area rurale della Regione Marche, in provincia di Macerata. Attraverso interviste qualitative semi-strutturate e applicando il modello teorico delle Forze di Porter, il caso presenta un quadro generale del contesto competitivo, sottolineando scelte strategiche e aspetti distintivi delle realtà presentate.

Abstract: The lionfish invasion represents an unexpected event quickly spreading in a wide area of the Caribbean. A wide spectrum of actors was confronted at the policy level, the marine conservation authority, large and small communities of economic actors starting from the tourism to the fisheries sectors. A first option to eradicate the new species was confronted with the search for balanced control. The threat was transformed into an opportunity by using the predator as an edible source of food. This target required the coordination activity of a wide network of players and design activities took place showing the relevance of emerging idle, dormant resources, new project design capabilities, but also new organizational practices fitting with an innovative eco-friendly inclusive perspective. The creative paths and unconventional routines helped to reach a new equilibrium in the marine ecology and in the economic activities as well.L'invasione del pesce leone rappresenta un evento inatteso che si sta rapidamente diffondendo in una vasta area dei Caraibi. Si sono confrontati un ampio spettro di attori a livello politico, l'autorità per la conservazione marina, grandi e piccole comunità di attori economici a partire dal turismo fino ai settori della pesca. Una prima opzione per eradicare la nuova specie si è confrontata con la ricerca di un controllo equilibrato. La minaccia è stata trasformata in un'opportunità utilizzando il predatore come fonte commestibile di cibo. Le attività di progettazione si sono svolte mostrando la rilevanza di risorse inattive e dormienti emergenti, nuove capacità progettuali, ma anche nuove pratiche organizzative che si adattano a una prospettiva inclusiva eco-compatibile innovativa. I percorsi creativi e le routine non convenzionali hanno contribuito a raggiungere un nuovo equilibrio nell'ecologia marina e nelle attività economiche.

Pages: 455 - 475
Abstract: The aim of the paper is to understand the sustainable transformation on a specific area of Italy, the Plain of Lucca, using an action research methodology combined with service learning to provide an approach to understand and accelerate the transformation. The literature review serves to set the scenes and limitations of several mixed methodologies, leading to the willingness of adopting a territorial case analysis. We start from a socio-historical analysis to then understand the role played by several actors in a specific ecosystem, serving as a basis to identify the main emerging aspects that should be implemented in other cases to accelerate the agri-food sustainable transformation.L'obiettivo dell’articolo è quello di comprendere la trasformazione sostenibile in una specifica area d'Italia, la Piana di Lucca, utilizzando una metodologia di ricerca-azione combinata con una di service learning, per fornire un approccio atto a comprendere e accelerare la trasformazione. La rassegna della letteratura serve a delineare lo scenario e i limiti di diverse metodologie miste, motivando l’adozione di un'analisi di caso territoriale. Si parte da un'analisi storico-sociale per poi comprendere il ruolo svolto da diversi attori in uno specifico ecosistema, che serve come base per identificare i principali aspetti emergenti che dovrebbero essere implementati in altri casi per accelerare la trasformazione agroalimentare sostenibile.

the Past between Awareness and Decolonization: an Introduction
Authors: Lorenzo Calvelli
Pages: 479 - 482
Abstract: In recent times, a lot has been said about trends and policies which threaten the future of Classics in general and the teaching of Ancient History in particular. This debate has primarily arisen in the United States, as a response to the request of some academics and colleges to "decolonise" a discipline that is deemed to be representative of white supremacism. In Italy, some voices have been raised to remark the alleged uselessness of such a decolonisation in a context, which is thought not to reflect the structural inequalities of the American educational system. However, it is necessary to discuss the problem in further detail.This thematic section of the journal aims to compare different experiences and methodologies of scientific dissemination in the field of Ancient History, which is often perceived as a discipline far from everyday life and from the interest of the general public. On the contrary, it might be a ground of fruitful cooperation between experts and not experts, especially when its fruition is declined according to clear, tangible and compelling dissemination strategies. Our goal is to present a series of activities, which have been carried out during the last years by University and High School teachers, who have dealt with and discussed specific and specialized topics in history, epigraphy, and archaeology, by collaborating with experts in the fields of communication and management of cultural heritage. Negli ultimi tempi si è parlato molto delle tendenze e delle politiche che minacciano il futuro delle discipline classiche in generale e dell'insegnamento della storia antica in particolare. Questo dibattito è sorto soprattutto negli Stati Uniti, come risposta alla richiesta di alcuni accademici e college di "decolonizzare" una disciplina ritenuta rappresentativa del suprematismo bianco. In Italia, alcune voci si sono levate per rimarcare la presunta inutilità di tale decolonizzazione in un contesto che si ritiene non rifletta le disuguaglianze strutturali del sistema educativo americano. Tuttavia, è necessario discutere il problema in modo più approfondito.
Questa sezione tematica della rivista si propone di mettere a confronto diverse esperienze e metodologie di divulgazione scientifica nel campo della Storia antica, che spesso viene percepita come una disciplina lontana dalla vita quotidiana e dall'interesse del grande pubblico. Al contrario, potrebbe essere un terreno di proficua collaborazione tra esperti e non, soprattutto quando la sua fruizione è declinata secondo strategie di divulgazione chiare, tangibili e convincenti. Il nostro obiettivo è quello di presentare una serie di attività, realizzate negli ultimi anni da docenti universitari e delle scuole superiori, che hanno affrontato e discusso temi specifici e specialistici di storia, epigrafia e archeologia, collaborando con esperti nel campo della comunicazione e della gestione dei beni culturali.

- Cancellare o ripensare i classici' La prospettiva della storia antica /
Erasing or Rethinking the Classics' The Perspective from Ancient History
Authors: Michele Bellomo, Lorenzo Calvelli, Cinzia Dal Maso
Pages: 483 - 506
Abstract: Nell'ambito della discussione sollevata di recente intorno all’esistenza di una cultura della cancellazione (cancel culture) che metterebbe a repentaglio il futuro degli studi classici, il contributo intende riflettere su due aspetti specifici. In primo luogo, se il sistema dei Classics, nel suo complesso, sia realmente a rischio a livello globale. In secondo luogo, in che modo il tema della decolonizzazione degli studi classici possa trovare applicazione nel panorama italiano; in altre parole: il nostro sistema educativo è effettivamente privo di disuguaglianze strutturali' Sulla base di alcuni esempi concreti, nell’ultima parte del contributo si rifletterà su alcune future declinazioni dell’insegnamento della storia antica, che non comportino una rinuncia alla sua valorizzazione e al mantenimento degli standard "qualitativi" che da sempre ne costituiscono una caratteristica fondamentale.In the context of the recent discussion concerning the existence of a so-called cancel culture that would jeopardise the future of Classical Studies, this article aims to reflect on two specific topics. First, whether the Classics system as a whole is actually at risk at a global scale. Secondly, how the issue of decolonising the Classics may be applied to the Italian scenario; in other words, is the Italian educational system actually free from structural inequalities' On the basis of some tangible examples, the last part of our contribution will reflect on potential future developments of teaching of Ancient History that do not imply giving up those 'qualitative' standards that have always been considered to be one of its crucial features.

Abstract: È compito etico dello storico intervenire per correggere le fake-news, prive di rigore scientifico e fondatezza, originate dal campanilismo di cultori locali, che diffondono falsa e cattiva conoscenza, non solo nella cultura di massa, ma anche nella formazione scolastica. Le strumentalizzazioni dell’antico, che possono essere contestualizzate storicamente, non sono sempre da cancellare. Tuttavia, la comunità scientifica deve farsi carico di controllare l’esattezza delle informazioni storiche diffuse.It is the ethical duty of the historian to intervene in order to correct fake news, devoid of scientific rigour and substantiation, originating from the parochialism of local scholars who spread false and bad knowledge not only in mass culture but also in school education. The instrumentalisation of antiquity, which can be placed in a historical context, cannot always be eradicated. However, the scientific community must take it upon itself to verify the accuracy of the historical information disseminated.

- L’epigrafia del Ventennio fascista a Roma tra damnatio memoriae,
restauro filologico e antecedenti classici / Epigraphy of the Twenty years
of Fascism in Rome: damnatio memoriae, philological restoration and
classical models.
Authors: Antonino Nastasi, Silvia Orlandi
Pages: 519 - 532
Abstract: Il vasto patrimonio epigrafico, sia in lingua italiana sia latina, prodotto in Italia durante il ventennio fascista costituisce un assai interessante campo di indagine in merito al rapporto con il periodo più controverso e sensibile della storia dell’Italia unita e alla sua rielaborazione pubblica, in virtù della natura intrinseca di scrittura esposta propria di ogni iscrizione. Si presenteranno qui alcuni esempi di iscrizioni di Roma risalenti all’epoca fascista, variamente sottoposte a operazioni di cancellazione, riscrittura o damnatio memoriae e, a volte, di seguente restauro e recupero testuale (non senza casi di travisazioni) per riflettere sulle diverse strategie e i diversi approcci nei confronti dei testi iscritti, anche in rapporto con casi simili tratti dalla storia e dall’epigrafia di Roma antica. Ne emerge una casistica complessa e diversificata, da cui risulta quanto sia spesso difficile la pura e semplice cancellazione dei testi, tanto in virtù del loro portato di testimonianza storica tout court, quanto in virtù della loro specifica natura epigrafica, a volte addirittura monumentale e artistica, oltre che per una carente riflessione collettiva sull’eredità fascista. The rich epigraphic production, both in Italian and in Latin, made in Italy during the fascist period, is an interesting research field, to study one of the most controversial periods of the Italian history after the year 1860 and its public reception, thanks to the specific nature of “displayed writing” typical of any inscription. There will be presented some examples of fascist inscriptions from Rome, that have been erased, re-written, sometimes restored (not without some misunderstandings) in different ways, with different applications of damnatio memoriae. Aim of the paper is to reflect on the different strategies and approaches towards inscribed texts, also in comparison with similar cases drawn from ancient Roman history and epigraphy. The examples are extremely diverse and complex, since it’s often not easy just removing the texts, given their role as historical witnesses and their nature of monuments and artifacts, not to quote a still imperfect collective reflection about the fascist heritage.

- DICO Toolkit for Digital Career Stories
Authors: The DICO Team
Pages: 1 - 276
Abstract: Digital Career Stories – Opening new career paths for arts and culture students, or DICO for short, has been a 2-year-long pedagogical development project. Its main objective was to develop innovative narrative and arts- and design-based methods that together form the Digital Career Story methodology introduced in this toolkit. Through the methodology developed, the project aimed to encourage reflection and self-reflection skills in higher education students, along with their digital and creative skills, and to help them build professional identities and design career paths, as well as enhancing their resilience, self-efficacy and self-esteem. The specific target group of the project was students of arts and culture subjects, but the pedagogical methods can just as well be used with other higher education students. The DICO project was the joint effort of a consortium of five European universities: Turku University of Applied Sciences (TUAS), Finland (as the applicant and coordinator of the project), University of Macerata (UniMC), Italy, Staffordshire University (SU), United Kingdom, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), Hungary, and the Technical University of Dublin (TU Dublin), Ireland. The project was funded by the Erasmus+ programme and lasted from March 2021 to February 2023.The DICO Toolkit contains the project results in the form of a handbook intended for lecturers, counsellors and mentors in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), and for cultural and creative organisations and professionals. It aims to provide both theoretical frameworks and practical tools for developing art-based methodologies with HEI students in the arts and culture. The book is structured into three sections – Theories and methodologies, Implementing creative methods, and Project evaluation and further resources – and concludes with an Appendix.

- Building skills for cultural and creative sectors in the digital era:
current needs, trends and challenges
Authors: Mara Cerquetti
Pages: 17 - 31
Abstract: This chapter discusses the role of higher education institutions (HEIs) in training cultural and creative graduates and professionals and improving their skills in the digital era. After analysing how culture and creativity can help innovation worldwide, the paper examines the uniqueness of the cultural and creative sector (CCS) and its positive and negative aspects, such as high rates of precariousness, fluctuations in income, contract instability and difficulty accessing social protection, in addition to its sizeable contribution to the European economy. The discussion then turns to European policies and the scientific literature to understand how the current debate addresses these issues. Among them are the need to fill skills gaps, including entrepreneurship and digital innovation, and the scant consideration given to differences between cultural and creative sub-sectors. In the final part, the essay points out the need to reshape the role of HEIs by improving students’ awareness of and critical thinking regarding their career path and supporting their resilience in uncertain times through co-creativity-based activities.

- Professional autobiographical process including identity work in creative
writing practices
Authors: Ilona Kirsi Tanskanen
Pages: 33 - 48
Abstract: Reflexive and reflective skills are needed in workplaces today and in the future, in contexts that we are not able foresee. The transformative learning theory is focusing on self-reflection and previous experiences of adult students. The practices based on transformative learning theory strive to elaborate on new and existing knowledge and skills, and revision of meaning schemes and perspectives. The target of learning is a change in the meanings given and in the frames of reference, signifying change in the identity of the learner. In making such a big change, critical reflection and critical self-reflection are essential, and alongside rational, cognitive work, imagination, intuition, and emotion also have important roles to play. The transformative learning process includes ten phases, which are also present in MA students’ studies at the Arts Academy of the Turku University of Applied Sciences. One course, Professional Autobiographical Process is at the core of the process, and other courses are integrated with it. Art-based and creative methods combine different perspectives, also emotions, imagination and intuition, and provide a platform for identity work. Creative Life Writing, Free Writing, Focused Journaling, Digital Storytelling, and other art-based practices are applied and have proved to be fruitful in the professional autobiographical process. The role of the tutor is to facilitate and coach, as transformative learning and professional identity work are highly personal processes. The practices bring out the growth and development, and the material produced documents the progress and makes achievements tangible. This serves the student as well as the tutor.

- Digital Storytelling as a narrative approach to identity and career
construction
Authors: Pirita Juppi
Pages: 49 - 68
Abstract: Digital Storytelling (DST) is a participatory, narrative, and art-based practice that has been applied for various purposes and in various institutional contexts. In higher education institutions, it has many uses. Besides building various skills, DST requires and develops reflexivity, and through self-reflection increases students’ self-awareness and supports their identity work. This chapter explores how DST can be used for career construction and for developing students’ professional identity. The practice is discussed within the broader framework of narrative theory and practice, on one hand, and in the framework of career guidance and counselling on the other. The chapter suggests that in the era of increasingly fragmented and insecure work and careers, new practices are needed to support young adults as they study, graduate, and enter and navigate their working life and various occupational transitions. The need is high especially among the arts and culture students and in other fields in which so called portfolio careers are becoming common. Creating and sharing multimodal career stories in a facilitated group-based process, using the method of DST, can provide a useful tool for career counselling in educational institutions.

- Design thinking in career planning
Authors: Dorottya Féja, Fanni Csernátony, Anna Pais
Pages: 83 - 98
Abstract: This chapter looks at visual tools that are used mainly in design thinking methodologies. It explores how these tools can be utilised in storytelling and career planning. The implementation of a designer mindsets allows one to look at one’s own work with a critical eye, to be open to improvement, to not fear mistakes and to be able to learn from those mistakes. The identification and the correct use of divergent and convergent mindsets allocating the appropriate tools for a given career design challenge are the key aspects of a successful career plan. Building up a narrative can be challenging when the only tools available are verbal ones and often leads to linear, one stranded outcomes. Planning a career path is even more challenging, as one may not have a clear goal or a sense of where the narrative should go next. In the next sections we will try to provide insight and tools into life design. These tools and methods can be useful in a wide range of situations, whenever one is feeling stuck or has to make an important choice or where there is a moment to ponder one’s life journey and wants to plan ahead. The same tools that are used to define a company’s strategy are also useful to create a personal vision and plan the necessary steps. Introducing visual tools and design thinking mindsets into the career story creating process enables the creator to build up a story much more like a drawing or a picture; not linear, highly associative and layered in meaning.

- Creative writing practices and autobiographical process enabling
professional identity work
Authors: Ilona Kirsi Tanskanen
Pages: 121 - 138
Abstract: This chapter provides the learning materials used in the professional autobiographical process. The case study and example come from the Arts Academy of the Turku University of Applied Sciences, the implementation of professional autobiographical processes in Contemporary Contexts of Arts Programme studies. The learning material benefits lecturers and tutors in higher education institutes in the learning design of courses that aim to support students’ reflective skills. The theoretical justifications are pointed out alongside describing the professional autobiographical process and including practices, study month by study month, although a closer examination of the theoretical basis, transformative learning theory, creative life writing, freewriting and journaling can be found in another chapter in this publication, Professional autobiographical process including identity work in creative writing practices. The process includes art-based and creative methods such as journaling, the digital career story, and design thinking. Journaling practices are described in this chapter, but learning materials and practices based on digital career story and design thinking methods are presented in other chapters in this publication. This chapter covers the stages of the process and main practices. The targets, pre-assignments, content and contact class activities and assignments of each of ten phases are gathered in table 1. In implementing the professional autobiographical process integration into other courses on the study plan is recommended as well as (short) art-based activities, which fit the needs of the current study group – for example at the start of contact classes. Every professional autobiographical process course is individual – although the learning targets and the core of the process remain the same – as is each students learning process.

- Organising a Digital Storytelling workshop in a HEI setting
Authors: Pirita Juppi
Pages: 139 - 151
Abstract: Organising a Digital Storytelling (DST) workshop in a heigher education institution (HEI) setting does not require specialised digital media labs or professional video editing software, but it does need careful planning and experienced workshop facilitators. Planning should start with defining the purpose of the workshop and, therefore, with the topic of the digital stories to be created. The workshop structure and schedule should be carefully planned, keeping in mind the learning facilities needed at various steps of the process. A DST workshop can be organised either on campus or as an online workshop, using students’ own laptops or mobile devices to create digital stories. In either case, it is important to give students clear instructions, to provide sufficient support for creating the stories, and to ensure interaction between the group members at critical points of the process, namely when working on story drafts and when the digital stories are completed and ready to be shared with the group.

- Collective and individual identities in an era of co-creation: a workshop
Authors: Carola Bettina Boehm
Pages: 153 - 166
Abstract: This chapter describes a workshop developed as part of an effort by a European group of pedagogues, who developed insights and tools for supporting creatives to form a more powerful digital narrative of their often-fragmented career stories. Thus, the group explored and developed digital storytelling tools, media and online tools, autobiographical practices, design thinking, and embodied practices for identity formation. As part of the latter, this chapter is about a workshop that considers individual and collective identity formation for creating more powerful and holistic digital career stories that balance our individual nature with a more collective understanding of ourselves as human beings. A separate chapter about the conceptual framework underpinning this workshop can be viewed in this toolkit. Artists have a long historic tradition of forming collectives and co-creative processes. However, in a world that has emphasised individual endeavours and individualism as the highest concept associated with freedom, they have not always received positive value judgements. Thus, current neoliberal tendencies to elevate the individually identifiable creators established a perceived meritocratic society of individual power and choice. But the multiple current crises in governance, society, environment and economy suggest a dead-end of this trajectory. Perhaps, as a result, current discourses of more collective, cooperative and collaborative endeavours are on the rise in the art sector as in others. Thus, the concepts around Culture 3.0 are worthy of being highlighted, as in the absence of this phenomenon of Culture 3.0, authors and creative professionals have often needed to resort to other terms, such as “community arts”, “socially engaged arts”, “participatory arts”, “non-traditional arts”. But these terms are often associated with value judgments in themselves.

- Performative embodied identities: using acting and storytelling to explore
identity and careers
Authors: Nicola Herd, Robert Marsden, Maria Buckley Whatton
Pages: 167 - 184
Abstract: During October 2021, Staffordshire University Department of Media, Performance and Communication hosted an intensive week for the DICO project. Looking at oral storytelling, narratology, acting and embodiment, participants explored how to use these techniques and methodologies in two ways. Firstly, as process, whereby these become enablers to reflect and explore past and present career stories, by creating a narrative around this, as well as imagining a future self. Secondly, as vehicles for product in their own right: to create a career story as an output using these forms. This chapter steps us through some of the key practices of that week and introduces the critical framework.

- Planning the future with visual tools
Authors: Dorottya Féja, Fanni Csernátony, Anna Pais
Pages: 185 - 206
Abstract: Planning the future with visual tools is a 9 hour-long course for university students to assist them to make conscious plans about their careers using the visual methods of design thinking and strategic planning. The course can be changed flexibly to accommodate a wide range of circumstances, such as smaller and bigger groups, offline and online settings, students from different backgrounds and ages, etc. We recommend that the programme is completed in 1 to 5 days, in order to maintain intensity, momentum and focus. However, it is also possible to create a weekly schedule for 1-hour long sessions for 9 weeks. In this contribution we provide suggestions for the timing although these can be changed according to the needs of the group. During the course we use a canvas or an exercise book with printed templates that serve as guides for each task. The canvas or the exercise book also gives an easy-to-understand framework for the whole process and helps participants to build on their previous works. The left side of the canvas helps participants to discover and understand the present and the right side helps participants to envision the future and to set well defined goals. The middle part is about building a bridge between the two: identifying possible barriers and resources, listing and evaluating possible ideas to achieve future goals and creating a realistic timeline from these ideas. In this chapter we explain the process step-by-step with suggestions on how to facilitate the session.

- Evaluating the DICO project: results and future prospects
Authors: Concetta Ferrara, Mara Cerquetti
Pages: 213 - 246
Abstract: This chapter discusses the results of the evaluation activities carried out within the DICO project (Digital Career Stories. Opening new career paths for arts and culture students) under the Erasmus+ Programme. After analysing the role of measurement in management and the specific contribution of assessment practices in higher education, the paper presents the activities undertaken by the partner institutions during the project (2021-2022). The DICO project focused on the role of digital and self-reflection learning methodologies in boosting resilience and belief in the future among higher education students in cultural and creative fields. In addition to arts-based active learning methodologies as a tool for promoting motivation and skills, the project evaluation also examined assessment as a form of learning. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were adopted to investigate lecturers’ and students’ expectations, prior experience, satisfaction, and the impact of the project. Moreover, a specific qualitative focus was applied with students enrolled in a master’s degree course in Cultural Heritage Management (University of Macerata). The results provide valuable insights into teaching and learning methodologies and suggestions for higher education institutions (HEIs) in cultural and creative fields.

- A “Flood of images”. Notes on the fate of the “figure seen from
behind” in the Digital Career Stories by the UniMC team
Authors: Giuseppe Capriotti
Pages: 247 - 255
Abstract: The paper analyses the way in which UniMC students have used personal photos for the preparation of their Digital Career Stories during a workshop held in Macerata in January 2022. The phrase “flood of images” expresses the freedom with which students have used numerous photographs taken during their leisure time and travels. In this “flood of images” we can notice a predominant presence of a powerful image, which is recurrent in almost all the stories: it is based on the theme of a human being seen from behind, showing his/her back to the observer. In some images the protagonist (or the protagonists) is looking at an amazing landscape, while in other cases he/she is admiring a framed picture, a work of art in a museum. The figure of a human being seen from behind could be an effect of the significant impact of some Friedrich’s paintings (also in the European handbook of general history, literature, and art history). Within the frame of the “visual studies” (and using Mitchell, Freedberg, Lester and Belting categories), the paper deals with a singular case of the “power of images”.

- Creative production in the Net: sharing vs protecting
Authors: Pierluigi Feliciati
Pages: 257 - 271
Abstract: There is a general lack of knowledge among the cultural heritage and art community about the issues concerning the daily practice of online communication, most of which have legal implications requiring the utmost attention in the reuse online. In the era of global content sharing, we do not seem to be sufficiently aware of the extraordinary opportunities in terms of cultural, social and economic development for the community deriving from the adoption of open licenses on digital works in the public domain. In this paper, the author presents the state of the art about legal issues related to the use, reuse, modification and publication of creative digital content on the Net, with particular attention to the European context. Some tools, tips for instructors and students, and a list of best-known platforms offering open multimedia resources adopting open licenses are presented.

- Archivi storici e web locale / Historical archives and local web
Authors: Roberto Grassi
Pages: 105 - 118
Abstract: Il mondo degli archivi utilizza in modo crescente il web come strumento principe di comunicazione. L'impegno della comunità professionale si è sin qui orientato prevalentemente ai grandi sistemi informativi allestiti su base territoriale o tematica. Sostanzialmente trascurato è stato invece il tema dei siti locali che, in raccordo simbiotico con i grandi sistemi, possono diventare un efficace veicolo di valorizzazione degli archivi storici. Una prima condizione perché ciò accada è l'individuazione di un piano di pubblicazione dei contenuti che, a partire dalle descrizioni inventariali e dalle riproduzioni digitali di documenti, si rivolga ad altre componenti del patrimonio culturale territoriale quali la storiografia, le fonti fotografiche, i beni storico artistici ecc. Attorno ad un progetto di sito locale occorre aggregare le risorse umane, professionali e finanziarie disponibili nella comunità di riferimento ma soprattutto occorre individuare e coinvolgere fattivamente precise fasce di pubblico.The archives increasingly use web resources as a primary medium of communication. Until now the professional community favored the creation of geographic or thematic information systems. Local web sites have been rather neglected but they may become effective means of exploitation of historical archives, in connection with the “large” information systems. Anyway, it is necessary to identify a plan for publishing content that, starting from archival descriptions and digital reproductions, includes other components of local cultural heritage such as historiography, photographic sources and art heritage. In order to build a local website it is necessary both to aggregate human, professional and financial resources of the local community, and, above all, to identify and actively engage specific user targets.

- Storia (storie') dell’arte (delle arti') e valorizzazione / Art (arts')
history (histories') and enhancement
Authors: Pietro Petraroia
Pages: 143 - 148
Abstract: La nozione di valorizzazione sembra oggi generare profondo sospetto in chi riconosce le proprie radici ideali nella percezione di un valore delle opere d’arte indipendente da fenomeni extra-artistici che possano determinarne la comprensione e la fruizione. In Italia, in particolare, ha pesato fortemente l’inevitabile confronto con l’idealismo: le radici della storia dell’arte italiana sono in Adolfo Venturi e Pietro Toesca. Ma la nozione di valorizzazione ha un fondamento costituzionale e figura nel Codice dei Beni culturali e del Paesaggio: quale può essere allora l’apporto della storia dell’arte allo sviluppo delle funzioni e delle attività di valorizzazione' Da molti storici dell’arte la valorizzazione è stata concepita come una sorta di male minore, in grado di promuovere il patrimonio, i cui valori di qualità resterebbero però appannaggio di pochi. Nelle politiche culturali di oggi, invece, ci sono due dimensioni ineliminabili: il riconoscimento di valori culturali sovra-soggettivi e l’impegno a rendere largamente disponibile l’esperienza culturale come aspetto del welfare. The notion of enhancement seems presently to breed a deep suspect in those who find their ideal roots in the perception of the art value as independent of all the extra-artistic phenomena available for its understanding and use. In Italy, in particular, the Idealism strongly influenced: Italian art history origins are represented by Adolfo Venturi and Pietro Toesca. Anyway the notion of enhancement has a constitutional rationale and is included in the Cultural Heritage and Environment Law: what may be in this framework the contribution of art history to the development of enhancement functions and activities' Many art historians conceived the enhancement as a sort of lesser evil, useful just to promote cultural heritage while its quality remains perceivable by few experts. Today cultural policies are made instead of two necessary aspects: the acceptance of super-subjective cultural values and the commitment to make cultural experience fully available as an element of welfare.
