The article illustrates a pilot project on ICT and cultural heritage (InfoBC), organized by Lida, the Laboratory for Art History and ICT of the University of Udine. The project is based on the integration of existing electronic databases on the art heritage of the Region Friuli Venezia Giulia and the diffusion of data through both Web and mobile phones. The project develops a multifaceted tool useful for local authorities and Institutions who want to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of their territory as well as for ordinary citizens and tourists who want to improve their understanding of the complex historical values of landscapes and urban settings. Gli articoli che seguono illustrano, nelle sue premesse e nei suoi esiti, un progetto relativo all’applicazione delle tecnologie informatiche ai dati sul patrimonio storico artistico e culturale, elaborato dal Laboratorio Informatico per la Documentazione storico artistica dell’Università di Udine, in collaborazione con Friul...

The article deals with the effects of photography on the practices of art historians, focusing on some German cases. Photography, defined by Paul de Saint-Victor in 1887 as the “musée en action de l’art européen,” offered unprecedented opportunities for a renewed visual philology. Yet this evolution was more complex and less unidirectional than is generally thought. The illustrated publications of Gustav Scheuer in the 1860s attest to different ways of manipulating photographic images and illuminate the connections between photography and comparative methods, which initially concerned the relationships between original paintings and photographs much more than those among paintings themselves.

This study investigates the transfer of cultural assets during the 20th century in the Alpine-Adriatic area, one of Europe’s core regions, featured by moving borders and ethnic conflicts. The volume presents more than 80 commented documents which throw crucial light on a multitude of settings, motives, circumstances, agents, juxtaposed authorities and mechanisms of power, trajectories, and consequences of transfer processes. The contemporary views the records express allow insight into procedural mechanisms, reveal bureaucratic implementations of political expectations, expose complicity on behalf of professional caretakers of cultural heritage and scholars, detail the mindset of perpetrators, victims, and bystanders, unveil agendas, and expose myths, legends and competing nationalist narratives. This research is to be considered within the context of present-day art historiography and museology, focussing on spoliation, circulation, provenance, and restitution of cultural assets, and in relation to contemporary art reflecting on concepts of ›migration‹, ›threshold‹, ›loss‹, and symbolic ›recovery‹ of identities.
