Abstract
This paper presents a reflection on the conception of Cultural Heritage and its management in the light of the impact of the pandemic which has placed at the center of the European agenda a rapid reconsideration of the role of culture and our past in the creation of territorial development, both in cultural, social, and economic terms. The way we relate to Cultural Heritage has changed, emphasizing the role of the past in the creation of a better present and the design of an inclusive and sustainable future. The focus is on the preliminary outline of the actions to be carried out for the preservation and use of the case study of the Norman Castle of Aci Castello, ‘Living Lab’ experimentation site of the MUR-PNRR Project SAMOTHRACE “SiciliAn MicronanOTecH Research And Innovation CEnter” - Ecosistema dell’innovazione, Spoke 1 - University of Catania - Work Package 6 Cultural Heritage, Task 3. Specifically, highlighting its peculiar aspects, analyzing its weaknesses, and applying the Requirement Analysis principles: the challenge is to be able to turn some of these critical issues into strengths. A discriminating factor is the use of alternative methods of use that exploit the potential offered by multimedia tools. The objective is to ensure the enhancement, enjoyment, and accessibility of the Aci Castello Museum, with particular attention to persons with visual and motor disabilities. To enhance the visitor experience, storytelling will be used in combination with the concept of Embodiment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
