Prolegomena: European Project for a European network of Ecomuseums, 2004 / 6, Program Culture2000 DGXII
The exhibition dedicated to industrial heritage between land and sea has visited nine European countries, from the archipelago of Turku (above) to the lagoon of Venice, from the Danube delta to the Bay of Hyeres, from the Gulf of Thessaloniki to Barcelona to Viana do Castelo
The Project on Ecomuseums generated two Italian disseminations: one concerns a guide to the disused industrial heritage on the Italian coast
I edited the volume on the "cathedrals of the sea", as they call this former chemical plant Fim in Porto Sant 'Elpidio, with the contribute of thirty six colleagues

The book was followed by the cultural cabotage Cathedrals of the Sea,promoted by Venti di Cultura, 2007/9
Where local administrations are involved at conferences, from Iglesias at Gaeta, to Taranto from Syracuse, from Macerata, to Venice

With the directors I've edited the guide to the museums of material culture, environment and production, from San Donà to Chioggia, from Stra to Mira, from Valle Averto to Pellestrina, from the Arsenal to Murano and Burano

la seconda disseminazione italiana del progetto europeo riguarda la rete museale: Stanze dell'ecomuseo della laguna di Venezia, 2009
The 2010 National Geographic survey on UNESCO sites says: "A sense of degradation that makes almost regret the tourists to be came", because he is condemned to be "complicit in the degradation of the city"
It's necessary a decongestion of the central area, where the daily life of citizens in danger of suffocation, if the city is reduced to theme park citizens are likely to be fish in an aquarium

a cultural cabotage diverge the tourist flows on the spread museum network
a sequence of "heritage walking" that follow the slow rhythm of the lagoon boats to the rediscovery of the material culture in museums of production and environment, they are sites that become gateways to the cultural and productive heritage, both for citizens and tourists.
