A Digital Library of Translation. The history of 5 foreign literatures in 20th century Italy: modern Greek, Serbian, Croatian, Romanian, and Czech

The research proposal aims to create a Digital Library that will contain texts of modern Greek, Serbian, and Croatian, Romanian and Czech, literature translated in Italian. The purpose of the research project is the creation of a digital library that will promote the translated texts. Another goal is the exhaustive bibliographic recording, description and analysis of all products related to the history of the above foreign literatures in Italy during the 20th century (1900-1999).

EDV - Italian Medieval Epigraphy iin the Vernacular: some Editorial Problems Discussed

EDV (Epigraphic Database Vernacular) is a database collecting the vernacular inscriptions produced in Italy from the late Medieval to the Early Modern Age, and is a part of the EAGLE and IDEA projects. The present contribution illustrates the criteria used for the description and indexing of all inscriptions that record public script in language(s) other than Latin. The material is very varied as regards language, script, provenance, support and function. The author discusses briefly the editorial criteria that may prove most appropriate for its publication.

Vulnerabilità dei centri storici. Validazione della scheda unità urbana del sistema carta del rischio tramite la sua applicazione su due centri laziali

Il contributo descrive il lavoro svolto per la validazione della scheda Unità Urbana per la Carta del Rischio del Ministero per i Beni e la Attività culturali e per il Turismo. L’illustrazione sintetica dello scenario offerto dei centri storici di Cittaducale e Genazzano, due comuni medio-piccoli dell’Appennino rispettivamente disposti a nord-est e a sud-est del Lazio, aiuta a chiarire le modalità d’interconnessione fra contenuti culturali e ‘forme’ digitali necessarie alla definizione di strumenti utili alla conservazione dei centri storici.

TRANSFORMATION OF TOOLS AND CONSERVATION OF ARCHITECTURE SOME RESEARCHES ON THE USE OF DIGITAL SYSTEMS FOR THE INTERVENTION ON THE HISTORICAL BUILDINGS

The use of digital technologies to study architecture and landscape has begun to represent an innova- tive aspect of the research when it started to allow the dynamic association (as input and output) of images and alphanumeric data: the different combination of this information through inferences and algorithms and the consequent generation of new data has freed digitisation from a strictly instrumental role making it a new methodological approach in itself.

The ‘PAThs’ Project: An Effort to Represent the Physical Dimension of Coptic Literary Production (Third–Eleventh centuries)

PAThs – Tracking Papyrus and Parchment Paths: An Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature. Literary Texts in their Geographical Context. Production, Copying, Usage, Dissemination and Storage is an ambitious digital project based in Rome, working towards a new historical and archaeological geography of the Coptic literary tradition.

Diritto e nuove tecnologie. Modelli di tutela e di valorizzazione dei beni culturali

Il contributo illustra i progressi raggiunti nell'interpretazione dell'aspetto funzionale del Comitium e nella lettura della lex del Niger Lapis, grazie ad un approccio multidisciplinare che coinvolge esperti dei diversi settori delle Digital Humanities. Il "modello Comitium", elaborato con riferimento al Foro Romano, è applicabile anche alle colonie e ai municipi romani.

Digital epigraphy. Tra automazione e singolarizzazione

Recent trends in scholarship publications, public debate on newspapers, and digital projects in the humanities seem to privilege the quantitative and computational approach to historical studies, as it is considered more objective, and therefore more correct. But some examples driven from direct experience in the field of digital epigraphy show how important the human component of any digital project still is for a whole and more correct comprehension of the traces of the past.

Il progetto EAGLE. Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy e le sue molteplici sfide

EAGLE (Electronic Archive of Greek and Latin Epigraphy) è una federazione, nata nel 2003, di 4 banche dati epigrafiche digitali (Epigraphic Database Bari-EDB, Epigraphische Datenbank Heidelberg-EDH, Epigraphic Database Roma-EDR, e Hispania Epigraphica Online). Nel 2013 EAGLE è diventato un progetto europeo più complesso e articolato, co-finanziato dalla Commissione Europea per 36 mesi nel quadro del programma ICT-PSP.
