Project "Smart History"
with the co-operation of the Parco Nazionale Cinque
Terre, supported by the European Union Culture 2000
Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre
24th February - 4th March 2005
An international seminar on the protection and
valorisation of the Cinque Terre National Park
(Liguria Region) was held; the participants were
the following university each of them involved a
pool of own experts and scholars in the fields of
architecture, agriculture, economics and new
technologies.
We remind that the project started by following a
suggestion of Michel Bonnette (President of ICOMOS
Canada) and the Foundation promoted an
International Project for the valorisation of the
historical, cultural, social and economical
heritage of the Cinque Terre Area Marina Protetta.
With the advices of Dr. Romana Krizova the project
was approved by the European Union in the
Programme "Culture 2000".
The Cinque Terre National Park is listed in the
World Heritage list of UNESCO and represents an
area that offers environmental and cultural
characteristics that must be preserved and
valorised. The project "Smart History" aims at
developing the replicable model for preserving
national parks suffering from overload of tourism
which causes running down of production, landscape
and ambience. The original exploitation of area is
changing due to new economy and tourist industry.
The Cinque Terre Park was selected as a
representative for establishing this model which
will enable finding solutions for preserving a
combination of cultural and agricultural heritage.
A short time ago this park was listed as UNESCO
monument of a high value. As such it is a great
attraction for tourists. It is important to
provide tourists with the right information and to
facilitate their stay in Cinque Terre. At the same
time it is important to preserve the original
heritage. For all these reasons, the "Smart
History" project intends to be an
interdisciplinary approach for the study of
proposals that could contribute to the
valorisation of these resources. It follows the
first experience of international seminar that the
Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation realised on 2002
for the valorisation of the ancient Convent of San
Domenico in San Gimignano and intends to replicate
the scientific methodology adopted as well as the
aims of international integration.
