Il saggio esamina la bibliografia posteriore al 2010 sui rendiconti edilizi ateniesi d'età classica, con particolare riferimento al V secolo a.C. Si fa un breve cenno iniziale alle principali novità emerse nella ricerca epigrafica e nell'edizione dei testi. Sono poi presi in esame i lavori che hanno contribuito ad alimentare il dibattito relativo al rapporto fra le iscrizioni, spesso di forma e impatto monumentale, e le scritture prodotte sul cantiere e presentate dai magistrati durante l'esame contabile, previsto a conclusione dell'incarico. This paper reviews the post-2010 debate on Athenian building accounts of the classical age, with particular regard to the fifth century BCE. An initial summary of the main papers in epigraphic research is provided. The essay aims to feed the debate on the relationship between the inscriptions, often of monumental form and impact, and the writings produced and presented by magistrates during the accounting examination, scheduled at the end of the assignment.

The article argues that Wikileaks does not provide an answer to the citizens’ thirst for transparency. A more democratic and effective answer can rather come from a good Freedom Of Information (FOI) law. Italy, however, does not have a FOI law. The author analyzes the functioning of Wikileaks up to April 2011 and shows that it created a myth of total transparency and of citizens’ empowerment that is far from reality.It is also explained how in the United States the existence of a robust FOI policy was instrumental in the preservation of Presidential e-mails and points out how FOI laws help create public pressure in favor of good records management.

Between 1824 and 1925, after giving some public lectures in Italian Linguistics and Literature, Ugo Foscolo wrote some pieces known as Epoche della lingua italiana, never published on the «European Review» as he planned. In this paper is examined and offer a scholarly edition of Epoca quarta, focused on Boccaccio and Petrarca. The manuscripts used for this critical edition are now saved at Biblioteca Labronica in Livorno.

The paper will present the detailed account of the Conference Funds and Collections of the person and personality in archives, libraries and museums: a resource, an opportunity, held in Bologna, at the University, October 26, 2016. The Conference was structured in nineteen reports and a final round table and involved librarians, archivists and museum professionals on the treatment of ‘cultural archives’: those cohesive and varied collections, gathered by people during their professional life, or simply out of passion and then given to public or private institutions. The presentation of projects and experiences implemented by various cultural institutions, not only by type but also by institutional affiliation, allowed the large audience to become aware of the Italian mature reflections on this topic. The event was also an opportunity for discussion between traditionally distinct professionals in order to create an advantageous ‘transversal’ dialogue about the management of cultural heritage.

The digital reproduction of archival records involves different rights as the right of scientific reseaech, the right of free expression of thought but also the right to privacy. These rights must be carefully balanced. The relationship between them is analyzed in legal terms, under Italian legislation, and in technological terms, just about the use of the technologies of the digital reproduction of documents, with particular attention to the concepts of communication and dissemination of personal data. The paper shows that the existing regulation framework fully meets the needs of protection of privacy, including in relation to technological changes taking place. Finally it proposes strengthening instruments like the statement of informed consent and the elaboration of specific policies to ensure the highest possible protection.

Le carte manoscritte relative a Le donne di Messina di Elio Vittorini, conservate presso il Centro Apice dell’Università degli Studi di Milano, permettono di ricostruire la complessa vicenda editoriale del romanzo, le cui sorti sono strettamente connesse con l’evoluzione del progetto letterario e culturale dell’autore. L’intervento è dedicato, nello specifico, all’epilogo del romanzo nella sua evoluzione dall’edizione del 1949 a quella del 1964, la cui stratificata rielaborazione consente di formulare delle ipotesi circa le modalità di scrittura e riscrittura di Vittorini. «It cannot be considered a finished work». "Le donne di Messina" by Elio Vittorini The manuscripts of Elio Vittorini’s Le donne di Messina, archived in Centro Apice (University of Milan), permit to reconstruct the evolution of the novel, which is strictly connected to the evolution of Vittorini’s intellectual and cultural project from the Post-war years to the Economic Boom years. This paper is specifically focused on the epilogue of the novel, whose stratified revision from the first volume edition in 1949 to the last edition in 1964 allow to formulate some hypotheses about Vittorini’s writing and re-writing technique.

In the last decades the world has become rapidly smaller with the destruction of spatial barriers known as “globalization.” It is a term both annoying and exhaustive, signifying a syncretic and global perception of reality. This condition has been further made easy by the enormous amount of data made accessible to us. The accelerated transition from an analogue to a digital world has literally invaded us with information creating not only a huge cultural gap between generations, with all its consequences, but offering at the same time huge opportunities. This paper intends to describe how technology, not without obstacles, has changed the way to communicate culture, and to make it more accessible. Our cultural heritage requires technology to be known and furthermore in order to be preserved. Present archives and museums, whether large or small, must move along with times, giving large space to technology and to new professional skills. The protection of our heritage requires communication, which plays a decisive role in making everybody knowledgeable. It is paradigmatic today and a duty to use technologies in order to store, preserve, save and communicate this heritage.

This paper introduces similarities and differences between disciplines dealing with the formal description of cultural heritage. A particular focus is given to the usage of Semantic Web technologies to add value to data. By sharing open data and building a network of relations between cultural objects, the Linked Open Data cloud can be a new tool for disseminating knowledge. A case study on the Fondazione Zeri photo archive is here presented so as to exemplify methods and ontologies adopted for integrating domains.
