Conservare il Dissonant Heritage: strategie di ricerca nel Progetto Co.Co.War

The paper discusses the safeguarding and the communication of Dissonant Heritage caused by both belligerent hostilities (war) and interpretative conflicts, assuming that this kind of heritage is characterised by values that, when misinterpreted, can lead society to perceive the "negative" message as prevailing over the "positive" one. The aim of the research is to identify appropriate tactics to address the preservation of a Heritage that is perceived as Dissonant not due to a “tainted legacy”, but rather because of deliberative communication that alters its stratified memory and turns it into a divisive element.
