Bologna, novembre 2024. "Butrinto Cento (1924-2024). Bilanci e Prospettive"

Dal 13 al 15 novembre 2024 si svolge il convegno internazionale "Butrinto Cento (1924-2024). Bilanci e prospettive" presso il Dipartimento di Storia Culture Civiltà dell'Università di Bologna, complesso di San Giovanni in Monte. Il convegno è a cura di Enrico Giorgi, Belisa Muka, Federica Carbotti, Nadia Aleotti, Veronica Castignani, Francesca D'Ambola e Giacomo Sigismondo.

Nell'anniversario dei cento anni dall'inizio del primo viaggio in Albania meridionale di Luigi Maria Ugolini, che avrebbe portato alla riscoperta di alcuni dei maggiori siti archeologici della regione quali Phoinike, Çuka e Ajtoit e Butrinto, il convegno nasce come occasione di incontro e confronto tra le missioni italiane, albanesi e internazionali che operano in Albania meridionale e in Epiro greco per un aggiornamento sulle più recenti attività. 

Il convegno, realizzato grazie al contributo del Dipartimento di Storia Culture Civiltà e del progetto PRIN 2022 FortNet, si svolgerà in modalità mista in presenza e online (Microsoft Teams)
