Il patrimonio culturale di Ravenna diviene la cerniera nel tempo e nello spazio tra Antichità e Medioevo, fra Oriente ed Occidente.

The volume analyses the role of cultural heritage as a privileged instrument of Western cultural hegemony in the historical story of colonialism up to the Black Lives Matter movement and the renewed phenomenon of protest and removal of controversial monuments from public space and the rethinking of Western museums in the sense of decolonial.
In Italy the process of decolonization in general and of cultural heritage in particular has never become the subject of an extended discussion: it is a delay that has so far prevented the critical reworking of the cultural heritage of our colonial past.
Decolonizing heritage means understanding how much of that past continues to operate in our present and together experimenting with a more democratic and conscious use of our heritage.
L’esposizione Libia 1911-1912. Colonialismo e collezionismo, consente di entrare in contatto con vicende belliche che determinarono l’espansione coloniale italiana fino alla fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e permette di conoscere le traiettorie del collezionismo coloniale in Italia e in Europa, con riferimento specifico al contributo di cittadini bolognesi. La raccolta libica della Croce Rossa di Bologna, conservata presso il Museo Civico del Risorgimento cittadino e riscoperta nell’ultimo scorcio del Ventesimo secolo, recupera la memoria della guerra italo-turca, un importante episodio del colonialismo italiano postunitario in Africa. Fotografie e oggetti raccolti in Libia dai membri della 47° Ambulanza e conservate in altre raccolte documentarie del Museo del Risorgimento, raccontano le caratteristiche peculiari del collezionismo coloniale. Con riferimento al più ampio contesto della penetrazione europea nell’Africa settentrionale, l’allestimento è arricchito dai materiali della collezione di Carlo Mazzetti, bolognese che visse per oltre cinquant’anni in Egitto a partire dal 1849 e che inviò nella città natale oggetti prelevati dai campi di battaglia delle guerre anglo-egiziana e anglo-mahdista. Il patrimonio donato da Mazzetti, oggi conservato nei depositi del Museo Civico Medievale e in mostra fin dall’allestimento del Museo Civico di Bologna deciso nel 1881, fu confermato nei suoi successivi adattamenti, risalenti all’inizio del XX secolo, quando una vetrina dedicata alle guerre coloniali in Egitto fu aggiunta all’esposizione. Le raccolte, messe tra loro in dialogo nel contesto della mostra Libia 1911-1912, riportano alla luce documenti eccezionali mai pubblicati prima, utili per arricchire la conoscenza storica degli eventi storici che hanno contraddistinto l’espansione coloniale europea nell’Africa settentrionale.
The statistical survey, conducted in the years 2014-2015, aimed to understand what citizens think and what their expectations regarding the archaeological heritage are and has covered 9 EU countries, including Italy which in the publication is reserved for a specific one deepening.
The conference was the occasion for the presentation of a law to protect the historic centers: the cardinal principles of this law are both the full conservation of the historic center as an overall cultural asset, and the incentive of social housing within of city centers. Only by keeping a mix of residents can you save the historic centers without turning them into theme parks for tourists.
The volume contains the Proceedings of the Conference on preventive archaeology held in Rome, the 19th of October 2012. The Conference was organized by IBC and INRAP, in the framework of the ACE project – “Archaeology in Contemporary Europe. Professional Practices and Public Outreach” to take stock of the situation twenty years after the Malta Convention in 1992.
The Conference represented an important opportunity for comparing the experiences of different European countries in the field of preventive archaeology and for once again raising the issue of Italy’s failure to ratify the Malta Convention.
The papers well illustrate the effects of applying the principles of “Malta-archaeology” within the different national contexts, while also highlighting that there is still room for improvement and that the problems which persist have been largely accentuated by the present economic situation.
The last section of the volume is dedicated to pictures taken by the photographer Pierre Buch for the ACE exhibit “Working in archaeology”.
Il convegno è pensato per interrogarsi e confrontarsi sul ruolo del museo e dell’archivio rispetto all’eredità culturale, simbolica e materiale del colonialismo italiano e sulle modalità con cui raccontare, valorizzare, esporre e rappresentare tale retaggio ai giorni nostri.
Si vuole sottolineare l’importanza della conservazione, delle raccolte e della memoria come strumenti politici di rielaborazione critica e collettiva del passato e del presente immaginando percorsi di valorizzazione e promozione delle collezioni in linea con le recenti sensibilità sviluppatesi intorno al tema della decolonizzazione del patrimonio. Centrale sarà la questione relativa al ruolo della geografia e di come, intrecciando vari ambiti (ricerca, divulgazione e musealizzazione), la convergenza tra competenza e sguardo geografico possa e debba contribuire al dibattito. L’obiettivo del convegno è quindi quello di condividere pratiche discorsive e materiali transdisciplinari per re-immaginare il racconto e la fruizione del patrimonio culturale dentro e fuori le mura del museo e dell'archivio.

Ospitare oggetti, persone, culture
Gli oggetti venuti da lontano sono portatori di significati e pensieri, reali punti di contatto che aprono alla conoscenza, ad altre visioni e nuovi sentimenti. Il ciclo di incontri vuole essere un invito a esplorare le diversità e le influenze reciproche tra le culture attraverso le collezioni etnografiche dei Musei Civici di Reggio Emilia insieme ad autori, ricercatori, artisti che stanno tracciando nuovi percorsi, cammini da intraprendere per sentirsi parte, tutti, di un unico patrimonio culturale che ci unisce.

“Decolonizzare il patrimonio. L’Europa, l’Italia e un passato che non passa” (Castelvecchi, 2021)
presentazione del libro
L’ Autrice dialoga con Margherita Sani, Università di Bologna, membro del Consiglio Direttivo di ICOM Italia e Project Coordinator NEMO Network of European Museum Organisations.
Nel corso di queste giornate di studio, a partire da questi quattro temi, tecnici, studiosi ed esperti si confrontano sulle sfide e le opportunità che i musei affrontano oggi: un’occasione di riflessione che fa parte delle celebrazioni dei venti anni dalla nascita di Fondazione Musei Senesi.
Dalle pratiche d’eccellenza alle criticità ricorrenti, dai grandi ai piccoli musei, dunque, gli interventi intendono porsi in modo trasversale e interdisciplinare, incrociando le diverse declinazioni di questi stessi verbi e aprendo spazi di dialogo e condivisione di esperienze tra le diverse tipologie di collezioni.
presenti in Italia, sulla scorta delle soluzioni espositive pensate per
valorizzarle nel corso del tempo e anche in virtù del succedersi delle
conoscenze acquisite tramite le catalogazioni dei materiali conservati
nei musei. Lo spunto proviene dalla recente catalogazione della raccolta
di oggetti extraeuropei posseduti da Pelagio Palagi, che rappresenta
la prima collezione privata ad essere stata acquisita ed esposta nel
contesto del Museo Civico di Bologna.
I relatori sono chiamati a confrontarsi su alcuni dei temi che
caratterizzano le riflessioni contemporanee sulla
musealizzazione di oggetti extraeuropei, in ragione delle loro esperienze
professionali e sulla base degli indirizzi che oggi caratterizzano le scelte
espositive e le relazioni con i musei nei paesi d’origine dei manufatti
conservati in Italia e in Europa.
To the critical issues of a culturally propagandistic and nationalist, the author contrasts the conception of heritage as expressed in two recent volumes (“Se amore guarda” by Tomaso Montanari and “Emotional Heritage” by Laurajane Smith) although different in approach, but inspired by same vision of heritage as a potentially democratic and intrinsically political instrument.
