Archaeowiki Press Release
Thursday, November 7th a press conference of the project Archeowiki. New archaeologist in Lombardia. Real and virtual paths was held in Milan, in the picturesque setting of the Tiepolo room at the headquarters of the Cariplo Foundation (co-financing organization ). Faced with a large and varied audience Dario Bolis (Director of Communications and External Relations in Cariplo), Frieda Brioschi (President of Wikimedia Italia), Grazia Facchinetti (Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Lombardy) and Filippo Del Corno (City Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Milan) presented the initiative. The public showed great interest in Archaeowiki: both for its values, including the sharing of knowledge as an engine of growth, and for its main purpose, namely attracting new users to archeology, especially young students, elderly people and the disabled. It was much appreciated, also, the fact that the project leans towards the less-known archaeological museums of Lombardy.
Following the meeting, several sites and online newspapers reported the news: La Repubblica, Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, the City of Milan.
A few places for schools are still available. If you are interested, contact the secretary of Wikimedia Italia segreteria@wikimedia.it.
