Abstract
The centenary of the discovery on the ground of material evidence of Spina’s existence, 2022 was the year of this famous Etruscan-Greek city. On such occasion, various public institutions thus collaborated to hold exhibitions, lectures and conferences. The section of History and Science of Antiquity of the University of Ferrara organized on June 10 and 11 the conference “Spina 22. L’eredità del mondo classico,” with the aim of focusing on the cultural value of the Spina site within a broader discourse on the political use of the classical past in Italy and its role in the construction of local identities. In short, through the echoing of the Spina myth and the archaeological discovery of 1922, via the 1935 opening of the Archaeological Muse- um in Ferrara, a unique relationship was created over time between the ancient and contem- porary city; a link that needed, however, especially in relation to the fascist propaganda, to be better contextualized. This gave rise to an interdisciplinary reflection, necessary to foster, with a view to the culturally sustainable development of the Ferrara and Delta territories, the creation of a conscious relationship with the cultural heritage of the classical world.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
