Patrimonio culturale e tecnologia: un incontro ancora da valorizzare
Today, many factors are driving cultural institutions to adopt digitization strategies. For some of them, as organizations in charge of monument care, historical or archaeological museums and heritage parks, this might be critical. Indeed, making available off-site experiences of heritage places, for instance by augmented reality and/or video games, fuels polyvalent and potentially contradictory dynamics.

Se da un lato un maggiore consumo è sicuramente positivo in termini di salubrità, dall’altro mette in crisi il sistema ambiente per l’eccessivo sfruttamento degli stock ittici. Negli ultimi anni, vi è stata inoltre una progressiva crescita dell’attenzione del consumatore all’impatto ambientale dei processi produttivi con la conseguente maggiore presenza sul mercato di prodotti che utilizzando brand e label associati procedure certificate cercano di aggiungere alla qualità dei prodotti ittici percepita dai consumatori anche componenti che valorizzano pro…
