Degree Course: Sciences of Cultural Heritage Syllabus for A.Y. 2022/2023  

Title: Outlines of prehistory and research methodology.
The module is divided into two parts. In the first part of the course methodological issues are addressed. A short history of the studies will be followed by themes that aim to provide a critical reading of archaeological sources. Then we will discuss topics on the social organization systems of pre-protohistoric societies through ethno-anthropological points of view and we will introduce topics on the ancient systems of economic exchange. The fundamental stages of man will also be illustrated: his physical evolution, the introduction of the productive economy, the urbanization process, the role of technology and the birth of religion.
The slides of the individual lessons in pdf format will be sent periodically by the teacher to the attending students only.
Students who cannot attend classes are invited to contact the teacher for an interview on the exam schedule and to receive information on the exam texts.

REFERENCES
Indication on the exam texts will be provided by the teacher on the first day of class.

Greek architectural, artistic and craftmanship culture from the birth of urban culture to the Classical and Hellenistic period.
The course aims to illustrate the development of the architectural, artistic and craftmanship culture of the Greek civilization of historical time, starting from the collapse of the Mycenaean palatial civilization and continuing through the subsequent phases of the proto-geometric, geometric and therefore archaic age, in the light of the long process of formation of the Greek polis and its urban culture. The course will therefore face the phase of classical age following the Persian wars, with particular attention to the most important artistic and craftmanship manifestations of the city of Athens in the fifth century B.C. and to the developments of classical figurative culture in the mainland Greece and Asia Minor in the fourth century B.C. until the end of the Greek poleis and the coming to power of Alexander the Great. Finally, the characteristics of Greek art of the Hellenistic period will be examined, with special attention to its various production centers connected with the new political reality of the Greek world of this period. In particular, during the course, the most significant monuments and works of art of sculptural and pictorial production will be examined, in order to illustrate the different phases and developments of Greek art.

Non-attending students will have to arrange a supplementary program with the teacher (by contacting him via email).

Focus will be on the transformation of the museum in the first half of the 20th century from the Madrid Conference (1934) to after World War II. In addition, attention will be paid to forms of museums such as Civic Museums, House Museums, City Museums, Diffused Museums, Ecomuseums and Virtual Museums. The second core of lectures will focus on the organizational and management aspects of the museum with references to museography, preventive conservation, arrangement and layout of collections. Finally, the third module will be devoted to the history, tools and methods of museum teaching in Italy and to the novelties highlighted by recent legislative actions in the relationship between school and museum.
The exercises and the inspections at the Museums will be an integral part of the course.

The lessons will focus on the analysis of one or more medieval artworks and on the discussion around a certain artistic phenomenon; they will also be an opportunity to practice observing an artwork.
In class we will discuss:
1. themes, problems, methods of the subject;
2. the division into periods of the medieval millennium and its artistic geography;
3. the cultural, social, political, ideological, material transformations that determine/influence the artistic phenomena;
4. the relationships between artists, patrons, production centres;
6. the IT tools available today for the study of the illuminated manuscripts; the relationship between the illuminated manuscripts and the use of innovative technologies for their digitization and their use on the web.

The course is organized in 3 modules:
1. I module (24 hours). History of medieval art from Late Antiquity to International Gothic (4th-14th centuries): for a general overview of the subject, oriented towards basic knowledge.
2. II module (14 hours). The Thirteenth century between Rome and Viterbo: monuments, manuscripts, people.
3. III module (10 hours). IT tools, digitization and new technologies for the study of the illuminated manuscripts.

A first core of lessons will be devoted to presenting a brief history of the studies and highlighting the value of the technical and executive know-how of a work of art in art and restoration studies. The examination of some examples will follow through a methodological path that will use the reading of sources, literature, direct observation of original works of art and their documentation. Wide space will be devoted to the analysis and recognition of material testimonies that are the basic elements for the study of techniques. Particular attention will also be given to the understanding of the organization of the paintings of the past and the use of materials.
Exercises and visits to museums and monuments will be an integral part of the course.

NON-ATTENDING STUDENTS will have to agree on the program with the teacher.

The course and the relative exam focus on the institutional part, that is the knowledge of the artistic events in Italy in the period 1400-1799.
Starting from themes of wide horizons, such as the history of art history and touching on the current orientations of the discipline, the first part of the course will propose the periodization of the subject and the different ways of investigating images, with openings also to artistic literature and in particular to the role of Giorgio Vasari, 'father of the discipline'. This introductory section will be followed by a series of readings of works of art that, due to their chronology, will follow the development of the discipline from the beginning of the 15th century to the last decades of the 18th century.
Direct knowledge of works of art and monuments will be encouraged through site trips.
However, it must be remembered that the preparation of the institutional part is inevitably based on the study of manuals by the students.
Attendance is not mandatory, even though strongly recommended, and the exam program is the same regardless of attendance. However, the partecipation to site and guided tours shouldn't be missed.

NB. The texts marked with an asterisk are available in the library and in pdf format in the dropbox dedicated to the course.

Notwithstanding the need for self-study of the entire proposed textbook, the following topics will be explored in the course of the lectures, in respect of which supplementary materials deposited on the Moodle platform will also be proposed:
1. The Middle Ages: a historiographical category;
2. Late Antiquity and the Romano-Barbaric kingdoms;
3. The Longobards and the ‘Longobard question’;
4. The Carolingians;
5. Europe at the turn of the year 1000;
6. The Reformation of the Church;
7. The Crusades and the Crusader States;
9. The Invention of the Commune;
10. The 13th century, the century of the duo magna luminaria;
11. The progressive constitution of national states;
12. The Italian evolution from commune to lordship;
13. The crisis of the fourteenth century;
14. The papacy in the Late Middle Ages.


During the course, students will be provided with basic informations about the main political-institutional events that took place during the Medieval millennium, from the crisis of the 3rd century to the era of the 15th century Italian Signorie. At the same time, certain themes (such as monasticism, the invention of the notion of the Crusade, the invention of the institution of the Commune, etc.) that represent the most widespread elements in the construction of the modern imaginary relating to the Medieval era will be explored in depth. Students will thus be able to reconstruct the chronological timeline of the Medieval millennium, with a particular focus on the Italian, Frankish and Germanic-imperial areas, correctly identifying causal links and lines of continuity.
In this way, students will also be able to correctly decrypt the historical and cultural informations with which they come into contact in the communicative reality, also facing with greater awareness the phenomena of ideological distortion to which the notion of the Middle Ages falls victim in common language, including that of the media.
At the end of the course, students should be able, when confronted with an image or a geo-political map, to construct an explanatory discourse on the reality represented, on the basis of some basic indications.

Course Title: I. Introduction to Latin Literature; II. Vergil’s Aeneid

The course is divided in two parts: the first (16 hours) includes a wide introduction to Latin literature, focused on key elements for the discipline's study (literary genres; models; intertextuality; historical and literary contexts; themes; linguistic and stylistic codes; conservation and loss of texts; survivor); the second (32 hours) is focused on Vergil's epic poem, key text in Roman literary history as well as in Western culture: starting from an historical-cultural overview of the Vergilian poem, will be carried out an in-depth analysis of his ideological, structural and linguistic-stylistic features, paying peculiar attention to Latin epic tradition. The course aims to provide a critical knowledge of Vergil's epic poem, set in the context of the Augustan age and in its relationships with the Greek and Latin, not only epic, literary tradition. The goal will be pursued through reading and literary-philological analysis of an anthology of the poem’s episodes.

For the study of Latin literature any school textbook at the discretion of the student, to be approved by the professor (recommended G.B. Conte, Letteratura latina, in 2 voll., Firenze, Le Monnier Università, 2019). Literary history has to be studied from the origins down to Augustan age (included).

The course presents a series of preparatory lessons aimed at defining the guidelines of the history of contemporary art. In particular, preparatory lessons are planned to define the guidelines of the history of contemporary art from impressionism to the most recent experiences. We provide, through the analysis of some basic figures and junctions, of the contexts, of the founding texts, of the works, the main interpretations that allow the student an adequate approach to the problems of contemporary art, to its fundamental concepts, to the leading artists, to the new languages, to the new hermeneutical models involved, to the new technologies.
The course will be spend particular attention to praxis of art towards environmental trespassing, the aspiration to transform itself into a practice that is hybrid with the space of everyday life, and to the relationship between art and architecture, between art and environment and landscape (city and nature) during the 20th and 21th centuries.

The Geography course aims to analyze and explore thoroughly the fundamental concepts of human geography in the light of the profound changes of the society. After briefly examining the theory and methods of geographical sciences, we will analyze the relationship between humans and nature, the distribution and structure of the human population, the demographic trends and urban development. In fact we live in a world that is constantly changing, where the geographical knowledge are central to the well-being of our societies, which is why a part of the course will examine the relationship between geography and technological innovations which open up new horizons in creating maps and techniques for the visualization of geographic information that enable us to see, explore and understand the global and local processes.

Archeozoology is the science dealing with the identification and interpretation of animal remains from archaeological sites. The study of faunal remains provides information about climate and environment in the past, as well as indications on the variation of human behavior from prehistory to modern times, regarding subsistence strategies, economy and in general exploitation of animal resources.

The main topics will be:

1) Introduction to Archeozoology, Taphonomy and their applications to archaeology.
2) General concepts about Palaeontology and Palaeoecology.
3) Structure of bones, teeth, ivory, horn, etc. Vertebrate anatomy.
4) Methodologies for the analysis of osteological remains; identification of skeletal element and species, bone measurements, quantification of the samples, determination of the age at death; taphonomic investigations.
5) Interpretation of faunal data: palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, modes of accumulation of the archaeological deposit, hunting and herding strategies, use of secondary products, seasonal exploitation of resources, butchering and food processing techniques, bone manufacturing for the production of tools and art objects, ritual and cultural uses of animals. r
6) Use of actualistic investigations for the interpretation of faunal data: ethnographic analogies, information on animal behavior and physiology, experimental approach.
7) Methodologies for the recovery, preservation and conservation of osteological remains from archaeological sites.

If the sanitary conditions and university rules will allow it, the course will include practical activities on archaeological materials.
