Relazioni fra l'Italia centro-meridionale, la Sicilia e l'area egeo-balcanica durante l'Eneolitico

Authors discuss the subject of relationships among Central and Southern Italy, Sicily and the area including Aegean and Balkans. On the light of the most recent research some new hypotheses about the connection during the Copper Age are pointed out, also taking in account the Maltese Archipelago. Since the regions that were in contact changed throughout the time and data remain lacking, it is still difficult to have a complete framework of these interactions. We have to find out the reasons of establishing connections, the mechanisms of interaction and the way cultural models circulated among the Eastern and Central Mediterranean.
