Alla ricerca di un passato complesso

Gian Pietro Brogiolo has without a doubt been one of the most important figures in the process that transformed traditional italian archaeology into a modern, interdisciplinary and international science. As an academic, he has been a reference point for varied topics in post-classical archaeology and methodologies, not only for Italian studies, but also at an international level. This book gatheres twenty-six papers by some of the most important European medieval archaeologists, art historians and historians, giving homage to Gian Pietro Brogiolo for his seventieth birthday. Contributions have been organized in three sections "Between Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages", "Architecture and churches", and "Policies for cultural heritage management", reflecting some of the topics that Brogiolo has developed during his professional career, during which he has constantly sought to develop the most appropriate instruments for understanding and communicating the complexity of the past.
