Rome Seen from the Ground and from the Sky, Also Compared to the Ideal City. The Social Representations from the Perspective of Long-term Residents and of Airport Workers.
This chapter is part of a broader research program initiated by de Rosa in the 1980s on “Place-identity and Social Representations of European Capitals in First Visitors of Six Different Nationalities” . It has been developed over time in various lines of investigation interrelated between them: “field studies” and “media studies” , taking inspiration from the peculiar multi-theoretical and multi-methododological perspective, characterizing the “modelling approach” as a paradigmatic option specific to the research field guided by the Social Representation theory.
