Research mission of the PRIN 2022 project
GO-IN! diGital platfOrm for INner areas - March 2024
​
On 17 October 2023, the project ‘GO-IN! diGital platfOrm for INner areas. Interactive virtual platforms for the enhancement of fragile contexts and their cultural heritage’, funded within the PRIN 2022 programme and promoted by the Next Generation EU and the MUR, Ministry of University and Research. The project is part of the SNAI and PNRR strands and of the regional development strategies, and is in continuity with numerous activities related to the cultural and social regeneration of the small historic centres of Basilicata. The two-year grant will be dedicated to an initial study on the sample area of the small historic centre of Stigliano (MT), in Basilicata.
On this area, from 26 to 29 March 2024, the first actions of digital documentation, analysis of the state of conservation of the buildings, census of services and territorial resources, geological survey and assessment of hydrogeological and geomorphological vulnerability were developed. The field activities, conducted by professors and researchers of the three research units, were supported and participated in synergically with the municipality of Stigliano. The study and acquisition products will be elaborated within the research laboratories involved for the realisation of a digital tool for the management and fruition of heritage, useful for the valorisation of rural economies and an increase in territorial attractiveness and sustainable tourism activities.
