Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide useful tools to study, analyze and understand the importance of cultural heritage, its promotion and its political control, in the context of the evolution of modern and contemporary Italy. Particular attention is dedicated to the reconstruction of the public debate that has characterized the organizational path in the field of conservation and promotion of cultural heritage from modernity to the 20th century. At the end of the course, students will know the evolution of the relationship between politics and cultural heritage in these different periods, in a comparative perspective with regard to the institutions preceding national unity; they will be able to master the main bibliography on the subject and apply historiographical analysis methodologies for the study of the protection and safeguarding of cultural and enviromental heritage.
