Making Sense of Place: Multidisciplinary Perspectives
Ecomuseum Performance in Piemonte and Liguria, Italy: The Significance of Capital
Research carried out by the authors in northern Italy (see Corsane et al., ‘Ecomuseum Evaluation: Experiences in Piemonte and Liguria, Italy’, International Journal of Heritage Studies 13, no. 2 (2007): 101–16) was designed to assess how closely selected ecomuseums met the demands of ecomuseum theory.
