The Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio was the seat of the Bologna Studio from 1563 to 1798 and inside it many sacred representations recall the profound and widespread presence of the Christian religion in the complex of the decoration of the building. The chapel of Santa Maria dei Bulgari hosted the most important ceremonies concerning the University; every lecture hall and each of the two halls that served as a lecture hall for law students and for artist students had an image of the Madonna and Child on the wall, corresponding to the teacher's chair.

Vita de Waal
Since time immemorial there have been places that held a special meaning and were perceived to be endowed with special powers or of special spiritual or cultural significance. It is surprising to discover that many cultural and sacred sites have a long history reaching back hundreds of thousands of years (Mallarach & Papayannis, 2010). While some cultural traditions have their source in civilisations that have long since disappeared (Hamilton, 2006), many of their beliefs are still alive and their sacred sites have continued to be used for millennia, like in the Apennine, the old traditional Italian mountain. These sites, a true example of study, provide some understanding of how societies evolve, how the histories of people, their legends, their traditions, their beliefs, their laws, their rituals and religions play out in the evolution of human cultures to bring us to where we stand today: a composite of the past that survived through geographical and cultural diversification (Frascaroli & Verschuuren, 2016).

Non sempre si riflette sull’importanza di saper relazionare tra loro beni culturali differenti per riuscire a mettere in atto strategie di valorizzazione capaci di varcare i limiti settoriali. Si tende invece a ragionare per compartimenti separati con il rischio di targettizzare un prodotto culturale che invece dovrebbe essere promosso ad un pubblico di ampio respiro. La mostra fotografica “Chiesa e societa in Italia nella seconda meta del Novecento” si e proposta fin dalla nascita di varcare questa separazione attraverso la messa in mostra di una selezione tematica di fotografie del fotografo Rodrigo Pais, esposte all’interno della sala dell’ex oratorio della Basilica di San Martino Maggiore. Luogo che oggi non si trova in ottimali condizioni conservative pur mantenendo l’originario splendore sia nella componente architettonica sia negli elementi decorativi, caratterizzati dal grande affresco secentesco che ricopre interamente una delle quattro pareti della sala, e necessita visibilita per poter tornare ad essere un luogo vivo e vivace di scambi culturali.

“Kofuns” are Japanese ancient tombs that were built from the mid-third to seventh centuries. Some of these Kofuns have survived into the present urban tissue despite being reused and showing changes in their form and their meaning. This study investigates panoramically the modes of reuse of ancient tumuli in today’s modern Tokyo by considering the characteristic phenomenon of “inheritance of sanctuaries.” As the base of consideration, I present the historical background of Kofun and its distribution in the Tokyo area. Then I clarify the mode of reuse of Kofuns from seven points as follows: “Reuse as cemeteries,” “Reuse as precincts of temples and shrines,” “Reuse as Fujizuka,” “Reuse as mounds in the garden,” “Reuse as signposts,” “Reuse of soil,” and “Reuse of stone.” By presenting some characteristic cases, such as Matsuchi-yama Shoden, Shiba Maruyama Kofun, and Tomizuka Kofun at Waseda, this study reveals the inheritance of topological meaning as sanctuaries of Kofuns in later periods.

The ecclesiastical archives contain the millennial memory of our past. Unlike the Italian State Archives and the European National Archives, they are the only institutions that can boast a history coming back much long before the year 1000 a.D. The activity of researcher therefore must be made easier as much as possible. A heritage of enormous importance is located in Lucca. The Historical Diocesan Archive of Lucca is one of the most important ecclesiastical archives in the world, with almost 1,500 linear meters of documentation and over 13,500 parchments. Its archival items cover around 15th centuries of history and the wealth of them is known worldwide to scholars and archival institutions. In 2011, the Early Middle Ages documents present in Lucca’s Archive were included in the Memory of the World Register by UNESCO. This recognition places the Archive in front of two important challenges for the future: the correct preservation of such a precious asset and the correct management of the assets and spaces in which the scrolls are stored. The present paper presents the documentary and library collections of the Archive, briefly focusing on some peculiarities, and analyzing more concretely those aspects that affect the life of the archive itself, for instance its physical location, its historical importance and the role that it plays as a memory of society.

This contribution wants to show the history of the Archivio Arcivescovile in Bologna also to an untrained public: the numerous, important documents that it contains, the people who worked on it, the changes of seat that took place over the centuries. In this way, introducing the many funds now preserved, a history very linked to the Bolognese territory is rediscovered: in fact ancient and recent papers housed in this place often transmit unexpected, surprising information and contribute to a deeper knowledge of many places (sacred and profane) that cheer the gaze of the yesterday and today traveller.

The aim of this article is to present the role of geographic factors (elements of the natural, social and geopolitical environment) in shaping the broadly construed sacral landscape, with particular emphasis on its impact on the development of religious tourism space. The individual determinant of the development of the sacral landscape of the region is its individual and symbolic perception of sacrum but its final form and spatial and materialistic organization are influenced by numerous factors of non-religious nature ( profanum ). Geological considerations, relief, vegetation, and even climatic and weather phenomena largely determine the image of the cultural landscape and delimit its extent. The role of individual features is very difficult to estimate. The sacral landscape, or its materialistic form of a religious landscape, enjoys a great interest in tourism activity, not only in the context of pilgrimage and religious tourism, but also as widely understood cultural tourism. In such context of construal of the cultural landscape development, the selection of Western Pomerania region (NW Poland) seems justified, as an example of the specific area that links sacrum and profanum . This region, with its rich and complicated history, has repeatedly experienced diametric changes of a spatial, social, cultural and religious nature. Due to the geographical location and the relief formed during the last glaciation, also a characteristic natural landscape has developed here, which significantly influenced the specificity of the Pomeranian community.
