Abstract
The word ‘culture’ derives from the Latin colere, meaning to cultivate, and its past participle cultus. It indicates the set of knowledge that each person has acquired in the course of life through study, experiences, and activities, all reworked by each person from simple erudition into fundamental elements for the moral, spiritual, and cultural personality of the individual who strives to make the world sustainable and harmonious. In every era and every nation, even if in different ways, the theme of culture has assumed a fundamental role in the development of mankind and the formation of communities. Culture has been characterised as a ‘place of shared identities’ where everyone has been able to identify and recognise themselves and, thus, to enhance their common heritage.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
