MEDINA: Mediterranean network for the valorization and fruition of inscriptions preserved in museums project
In May 2012, the research group of the Dipartimento di Scienze
Storiche del Mondo Antico, directed by prof. Alessandra Avanzini, began
the two-years project MEDINA - Mediterranean network for the valorization and fruition of inscriptions preserved in museums project.
This project was selected to be funded by the European Union in 2008 within the ENPI CBCMED programme - Cross-Border Cooperation in the Mediterranean Sea Basin.
This programme promotes the sustainable and harmonious cooperation
process at the Mediterranean Basin level by dealing with the common
challenges and enhancing its endogenous potential.
The
main objective of MEDINA is to promote, through innovative means, the
knowledge and dissemination of Phoenician and Nabataean inscriptions and
artefacts preserved in the Beirut National Museum and in the Museum of
Jordanian Heritage at Yarmouk University.
In
addition to managing the project's activities and progress, the
University of Pisa équipe, within this project, will supervise the
digital cataloguing of the inscriptions in Jordan and Lebanon, and will
catalogue the South Arabian texts preserved in the Museo d'Arte
Orientale of Rome. The objects catalogued in this collection will be
able to be consulted in a specific section of the DASI web site.
During the first year of the project, the Pisa équipe
has also the important task to train and teach students how to perform
digital cataloguing.
As MEDINA project aims to
improve the communication means of the involved museums, new strategies
will be studied by the University of Pisa, in collaboration with the
Yarmouk University and architects expert in museology. A new space will
be thought and realized where the neglected and silent artistic finds
can be highlighted and revalued as main instruments of knowledge.
