La “Festa della Storia”: un progetto di public history

Abstract

The article contains some considerations on the concept of “public history”, the idea developed in the early Seventies of the last Century in the United States, in Canada and in the Anglo-Saxon world, that is the history at the service of the community. For the connections with the territory and the city, for the methodologies used in the dissemination of the experiences of “shared/public history”, the “Festival of History” can be considered one of the few projects in Italy.
