My first step towards my research

My research is about the study of a possible cultural regeneration of my country. Italy is famous around the world for its unique traditions, its arts, and in particular for its cultural events. In my country, cultural tourism represents one of the most important resource for the whole economy. Government and tourism institutions try to promote this sector, in order to encourage people to visit Italy and at the same time increase economic profits.

I focus my research on religious and heritage attractions in Italy, especially in the capital, Rome, which represents an important place visited by a large number of tourists every year. Furthermore, I spend my time analysing the needs of other Italian heritage destinations, and the possible ways to regenerate them.
