Water shapes. Strategia di valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale legato all'acqua

"Water shapes. Strategie di conservazione e valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale legato all'acqua" represents the outcome of the European project "Water shapes" and is closely related to the outcomes of the international conference "Water Cultural Heritage: Enhancement Strategies", held in Rome on 2 May 2012. It is a bilingual publication, on line and in paperback, edited by the coordinator CNR-ICVBC. It collects the contributions of the Rome conference, that is of experts from different parts of the world who presented the most representative and distinctive forms of water cultural heritage in their respective countries, over a period ranging from Antiquity to 19th century, together with the case studies elaborated by the project's partners, as well as some of the best papers presented in the three workshops organised by the various partners in Bolsena, Braga and Toulouse. The books' aims is to increase awareness among the public and scholars of the immense cultural heritage linked to water and to raise relevant issues regarding their conservation and enhancement.
