Valorizzare il patrimonio immateriale: un’esperienza di digitalizzazione del dialetto

In a context where cultural heritage plays a fundamental role in a nation's identity and historical continuity, digitalization emerges as an essential means to preserve and promote this heritage. The present article underscores the importance of preserving intangible cultural heritage related to languages, focusing on the digitization project of field interview transcriptions that constituted the reference documentation of Manzini and Savoia (2005). This work is part of the "Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Sustainable Society" program, funded by the PNRR promoted by the Ministry of University and Research and the European Union. The program aims at the sustainable management of cultural resources and the promotion of diversity and linguistic richness, crucial elements for the future of Italian culture. The digitization project is an integral part of the activities of Spoke 2 (Creativity and Intangible Cultural Heritage) within the Dipartimento di Lettere e Filosofia at the University of Florence, that is provided by PE5 Humanistic culture and cultural heritage as laboratories of innovation creativity promoted by the University of Florence.
