Il corpo abitante. Una proposta pedagogica per la valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale attraverso le arti performative

The contribution attests a research project coordinated by the Department of Human Sciences for Education “Riccardo Massa” (University of Milano-Bicocca) and led in Mantova and Sabbioneta UNESCO sites. The project aims at accompanying citizens and visitors along a participative, sensorial and emotional path towards the cultural heritage’s enhancement and interpretation. Inspired by the desire to promote experiences helpful for an encounter between human beings and the environment, the body and the mind, the scientific and poetic dimension (Antonacci, 2019; Bruzzone, 2016; Dallari e Francucci, 1998; Mortari, 2017; Scardicchio, 2012; Zuccoli, 2020), we wanted to investigate and further explore the possibility to plan and start exploratory itineraries (Guerra, 2019) and artistic-expressive-performing actions both for daily and one-day passers-by. These are meant to feel, to live and inhabit these places not only through a rational and intellectual awareness but, more importantly, through a bodily and emotional one (Gamelli, 2005, 2009).
