Research themes: medieval history and the theories,
methodologies, strategies and procedures for the teaching of
history and heritage, with particular reference to education for active citizenship.

one related to research on the subject of pilgrimages in the
Euro-Mediterranean area; one regarding the development of
norms enacted in the various Italian political and territorial

microtoponims of the city and the territory of Bologna.

didactic keys.
