"Web e social media per la politica" is an advanced course of political communication and political marketing.
The main objective is to explain, deepen and get to own not only the tools, but above all the dynamics and the main drivers that guide the choices of communication and political marketing on the Net.
For this reason, the course opens with a "dynamic" picture of contemporary democracies, aimed at understanding the many "whys" that led to the cd. "audience democracy", to the permanent electoral campaign, to the mediatized and personalized politics, to the growth of populist parties and movements along a constant decline of trust and approval of democratic performances and of the main political and institutional actors.
The second part of the course will focus on online political communication, also in this case focusing the attention first of all on winning logic and dynamics and only consequently on the tools.
Several topical cases will be examined and the respective successes and failures will be explained using the analytical categories described above.
The final part will be aimed at deepening a crucial aspect (and concept) of the matter, namely that of fake news and post-truth society. Why is it only today that we talk about post-truth societies? Why are fake news successful? Why, in short, does mass society and the information society seem to lead to an uninformed and gullible citizenship?

The main objective of the course is to provide the basic knowledge of the Territorial Information Systems (SIT) managed in the environment of the Geographical Information System (GIS) for the assessment of environmental risk. Particular attention will be paid to critical issues related to climate change and land use changes detected at the scale of the river basin. The analysis methods used will be based on the acquisition of georeferenced data available from the main databases such as: national WMS geoportal; ISTAT database; Copernicus; Regional WEB GIS.
The aims of the course are aimed at developing environmental analysis and monitoring skills with the aim of proposing technical application solutions.

historical, theoretical and methodological notions and experiences related to particular cases will be combined. We will proceed by relating restoration, museum and exhibitions in order to evaluate the mutual critical instances and the relationships between these areas. The history of the exhibitions, the theme of museum writing, the problems of bases and frames will be addressed. Experiences will be made in the Unitus restoration laboratories to lay the foundations of an exhibition project on whose strategies several lessons will be carried out that will also highlight the problem of artistic techniques and restoration in the museum environment.
