The Past as Valuable Source of Contemporary Meanings

Europe and the whole Mediterranean area are spotted with sites where the relationship between archaeology, urban space and landscape represents the material and conceptual area for potential synergies. If the “past”, as stated by Salvatore Settis, is not only dead legacy but also valuable source of contemporary meanings, archaeology can represent a component for the foundation of new relational values. The simultaneous presence of past and present in our habitat can in fact contribute to strengthen complex identities and integrate different cultural approaches and to promote economic and functional strategies. The active involvement of the territorial actors, the rising awareness of the importance of ancient heritage sites for residents and citizens, the cooperation between tangible and intangible resources, the interaction between functional and recreational services are some of the synergies that can support the territory organically by focusing on cultural and natural assets. In this frame the preservation and the enhancement of archaeological landscapes becomes an important resource for economic growth, employment and social cohesion, offering the perspective to revitalize urban and rural areas.
