The project

Throughout centuries, mobility has deeply influenced lives and social changes, concerning people and the way they have populated the world. Regardless the fact that this movements are a constant historical character, rarely it has been evidenced the importance of the past and of memory in the outline of a social response toward movements.

 Through the study case of a site in Salento, an area in south of Italy where people’s movements have already been documented for a period that arrives till nowadays and through the combination of an intense archeological quest and an ethnographic study, this project has the goal to explore the key relationship between mobility, landscape and memory on a wide chronological spectrum.
