L'articolo intende esaminare i temi trattati e le osservazioni prodotte dalla letteratura scientifica che si è interessata all'utilizzo del crowdfunding per il finanziamento di progetti culturali.

The article illustrates how this occurs in the case of an Italian crowdfunding platform, through activities of project classification and evaluation and campaign consulting it carries out, which are not visible from the outside.
