The course aims to provide students with cognitive tools of geography and culture of a country unique of its kind, Italy. The keywords that will lead the entire course will be “Landscape and Territory”; the first part of the course will analyze the historical-territorial elements and the tangible and intangible Heritage of the country: art cities, hamlets, mountain and seaside destinations, natural protected areas, UNESCO landscapes. The second part of the course is aimed at introducing the students to a critical reflection on how these geographical characterizations are the direct derivation of a cultural path still visible in present traditions within the local communities.
