Participating Countries

The “Soprintendenza per i Beni Architettonici e Paesaggistici di Caserta e Benevento”, a section of the Cultural Heritage Ministry participate in the XIV edition of the International Heritage Photography Experience by the Educational project: the Open Museum, proposed to the schools in the Caserta and Benevento areas. These activities are linked up experiences realised in the past years, putting in practice “...we preserve that we know and we love...”. We have realized an extraordinary educational experiment with partnership in the schools and the local civil sociey, the private and public institutions: the cultural heritage has been “used” to know the world and to emphasize itself protection. Among the numerous photographs which our student have taken, we have chosen the “Castello Normanno”, Apice (BN); the portrait of “Ferdinando IV di Borbone e di Maria Carolina” part of “Fontana dei Delfini”, sec. XVIII, Marcianise (CE); the “Infiorata” in onore del Corpus Domini, Cusano Mutri (BN); the “Chiesa di Maria SS. delle Grazie” Vaccheria – Caserta (CE). These photos represent the territorial contexte where they live - landscapes, churchs, palaces, squares, Corpus Domini Day - and an heritage common to other countries. A special thanks to International Heritage Photographic Experience wich is the motor for raising young people’s awareness about the common cultural values.
