Digital Technologies for the Promotion of Cultural History Best Practices in Matera, the European Capital of Culture in 2019

Abstract

The relationship between cultural landscape, history and technology is crucial to understand the new tendency of man to carry out actions based on sustainability and on the intertwining of tradition and innovation. Matera, thanks to the current use of technologies for cultural heritage and Smart Agriculture 5G, of which it is one of the experimental cities, is an interesting case study. European Capital of Culture 2019 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the City of Stones is characterised by a thousand-year history of archaeological evidence, but also by a material and intangible cultural heritage linked to rural culture and its agricultural landscape, now widely accessible to visitors through digital platforms.
