- Abstract
Percorsi bioGrafici is a Public Archaeology project carried out jointly by the Municipality of Monforte San Giorgio and the Department of History and Cultural Heritage of the University of Siena, and aimed to an archaeological assessment of the historical complexity of an "average" small town in contemporary Sicily. The project is intended to understand - and above all to make the local heritage community understand - when, how and why this small town of Sicily, like many others in Southern Italy and in the Mediterranean, has assumed its current conformation. Starting from this basis, specific activities were designed and implemented with the cooperation of the local community: a) participatory archaeology activities, involving schools, cultural associations and individual citizens; b) realization of thematic routes, usable also through mobile phone apps; c) re-qualification of specific elements of the urban fabric; d) regeneration of the relationship between men and things in the urban space, with the aim of inducing virtuous behaviors and best practices of respect and protection of one's living space and relationship.
