Acercamiento de la cultura arquitectónica italiana en Colombia (1948-1963). El principal objetivo de esta primera publicación ha sido provocar una reflexión sobre el papel que la cultura arquitectónica italiana tuvo en Colombia, más que todo en la primera mitad del siglo XX. El estudio de los archivos italianos y colombianos sobre las obras de Angiolo Mazzoni nos ha permitido comprender la contribución de su trabajo en una época histórica muy importante para Colombia y el valor de su pensamiento acerca del significado del patrimonio cultural del país. En realidad, la gran actualidad de Mazzoni en la Colombia de hoy se relaciona muy bien con el tema del rescate del Patrimonio Cultural del país en todas sus características y también con el tema del fortalecimiento de la formación académica especializada. Además el compromiso entre Angiolo Mazzoni y Colombia siempre tuvo un alto valor para las relaciones diplomáticas y culturales entre Italia y Colombia en una época políticamente compleja pero importante para Colombia así como para Italia y que cada vez continúa más fuerte con importantes resultados culturales, de crecimiento social y de desarrollo económico.

The popular traditions, based on disguises, have their origins in ancient festivals, which are very different among them. In these artistic events there is a large opening to human sentiments and thoughts: they are meetings where all peoples converge with their social, ethnic, economic, polit-ical and religious differences. In these traditional celebrations the daily life is built on imagina-tion, on games and it allows a continuous enrichment and ex-change of cultural knowledge. These urban festivals allow to build forms of art often unique. Among these artistic events we identify the Carnival, a city festival that, in the West, has origin in ancient ceremonies of the Greek and the Roman period. These traditions are survivals of ancient purification rituals. However today the Carnival has become a symbol of meetings that take place in public spaces of the city where you can meet people with different cultural backgrounds. All this allows to en-joy and share traditional and artistic expressions of different cultures in large festivals with in-teresting diversities. The 1st International Symposium, Dialogue among cultures. Carnivals in the worlds has offered a reflection on the international Value of Intangible Heritage as defined by UNESCO: practices, representations, knowledge and techniques that facilitate a strong sense of cultural identity (UNESCO, Declaration of 2003) among the communities, groups and individu-als. This Cultural Heritage can be appreciated in different sectors of human activity: art, eco-nomics, sociology, anthropology, architecture, engineering, etc.. So the Carnival plays an im-portant role in the cultural world because it proposes the protection of an important traditional heritage and the reinforcement of the cultural and social integration between East and West. Another very important aspect of the Carnival is the education towards the popular culture that can be seen as a fundamental educational process for the new generations to promote knowledge of the history and the value of their local heritage. The academic aim of the 1st International Symposium was the analysis of the issues related to the urban festivals and masquerades that take place, with different methods, in many countries of the world. The congress was born with the scope to deepen the knowledge of different and multicultural expressions that occur in public and urban spaces for the cultural dialogue, for the integration and the respect of differences (UNESCO, Declaration of 2005). For this reason the 1st International Symposium has promoted a space for intercultural dialogue between the scien-tific community, the local community and future generations, with the aim of sharing different methods to understand the tradition of the Carnival around the world. The International Symposium has coordinated by Olimpia Niglio (Italy), international expert in conservation of cultural heritage and expert in cultural management and Claudia Afanador (Colombia), anthropologist and Director Chair Carnival in Pasto (Colombia). More than 60 speakers which took part in the Symposium have arrived from 21 countries of the world and 3 continents: America, Europe, Oceania.

Il 27 dicembre 1818 Maria Luisa di Borbone, regina d’Etruria e duchessa di Lucca, firmava il primo Ordine Reale nel quale era nominato Pietro Paolidi Lucca Direttore di tutti i lavori di abbellimento alla pubblica passeggiata della Muraglia ed altri simil natura. Era il primo importante provvedimento attuato per la città di Lucca e finalizzato a istituire la Direzione dei Pubblici Abbellimenti che interessava sia il centro storico sia le mura. Dieci anni più tardi, nell’aprile del 1828, suo figlio Carlo Lodovico aboliva la Direzione a favore dell’istituzione della Regia Deputazione degli Edili, con funzioni di vigilanza e direzione generale dei lavori eseguiti sulle principali fabbriche e sul passeggio delle mura. A distanza di duecento anni (1818-2018) da questo primo importante conferimento istituzionale finalizzato all’abbellimento della città, il volume ha inteso analizzare la documentazione conservata presso l’Archivio Storico Comunale della città di Lucca al fine di renderla disponibile a quanti si occupano della conservazione e della valorizzazione del patrimonio urbano.
