ABSTRACT
Over time the way of approaching Heritage has turned from “top-down” criteria for identifying country-based, to an interpretation process based on community, in a social and intercultural key (Copeland, 2006), so it is putting an increasing attention to relationships between cultural legacy and territories, between tangible and intangible goods (Di Berardo 2019, Bortolotti et al. 2008). Whitin this framework, a cornerstone is realized by the European Landscape Convention (Florence, 2000) for the interesting glimpse addressed to everyday landscapes and for a new idea of widespread heritage that should be taken in charge by people. In this respect, becomes crucial a recognition of values remarkable for a legacy to next generations; this can be done not only by experts but also by ordinary people who intend to preserve memories and traditions belonging to community. This discussion is in tune with EU policy, which considers Heritage first a matter of cohesion aiming to sharing values and so intends to build a new and better Europe. Specifically Cultural Heritage policy is strictly intertwined both to the European Agenda for Culture and European Digital Agenda. The paper proposes to focus on the major EU documents in fact of Heritage and digitization policies mainly related to information and communication issues, considering also the attention paid in 2018 by the European Year of Cultural Heritage dedicated to “Sharing Heritage digitally”. A case in point will be analyzed to show the application of digital to Heritage in the view of EU, to illustrate how through user-friendly digital devices can be improved the knowledge and communication of a specific multilayered and historic landscape.
