DEVELOPMENT OF THE CALABRIAN TERRITORY
The Calabrian historical-cultural heritage is composed of many archaeological and underwater sites, evidence of defensive architecture (castles, towers), civil and religious architecture artifacts, areas of industrial archaeology (Reali Ferriere di Mongiana), spinning mills, mills, factories, villages and historical centers of historical-architectural-urbanistic value, national museums, state cultural institutes and cultural attractions, as well as of a series of the so called “minor” museums, demo-ethno-anthropological and paleontological assets, naturalistic and landscape resources, that are still scarce valued for tourism purposes. The actions of the Polo aim at strengthening the territorial development policies through the creation of services and “experiential creative art systems” (which can also be used by people with sensory impairments and of any age and cultural as well as geographical origin) that thanks to the use of the most modern information and communication technologies are able to return interactive artistic scenes, immersive environments, multimedia paths for new ways of reading and using the regional cultural and environmental heritage, for the enhancement of places, specificity of typical productions and of ancient crafts, to bring out goods and services on a national and international scale.
