Archeologia pubblica ai tempi della crisiThe Parco Archeologico e Paesaggistico della Valle dei Templi of Agrigento dedicates the seventh edition of the “Giornate Gregoriane”, to be held on 29 and 30 November 2013 at the headquarters of the Park, to a Conference about a reflection on the relationship between archaeology and society in the context of the economic and cultural crisis that Italy and Europe are going through. Caught between a lack of resources and a prevailing economic vision, archaeology needs to rethink itself and its social role, both in terms of asset management, both with regard to measures aimed at developing the community’s interest and attention to archaeological heritage, through communication and outreach.
