On Wednesday, 27 November 2024, at 09:00 a.m., the University of Teramo will host the conference “Secret Heritage” in the Hall of Degrees at the G. D’Annunzio teaching complex. The event will centre on the theme “Images and the territory between preservation, research and valorisation”.
Organised by the Department of Communication Sciences, the study conference is part of the PRIN PNRR 2022 Project CineAB – Rediscovering and Promoting the Film and Audiovisual Heritage of the Abruzzo Region, a two-year initiative (2023–2025) involving the universities of L’Aquila, Chieti-Pescara, and Teramo. The project aims to conduct wide-ranging research into the audiovisual sector in Abruzzo, with a particular focus on rediscovery and cultural promotion.
The conference, promoted in collaboration with the University of Teramo’s Department of Communication Sciences, will provide a timely platform to examine the current state of Abruzzo’s visual heritage. This discussion comes at a crucial moment for the region’s cultural and economic landscape, particularly for younger generations, as it coincides with the emergence of promising new institutions such as the Fondazione Abruzzo Film Commission.
The Tramontana Network will take part in the conference through the participation of Gianfranco Spitilli, coordinator of Bambun APS, who will present selected findings from research conducted in the Apennine region. He will also showcase archival materials and ongoing fieldwork that reflect the richness and complexity of the area’s intangible cultural heritage as seen through visual media.
