The discussion will revolve around:
- Fact-checking: Is Italy’s cultural and natural heritage really so great?
- The risks of a superficial tourism, the example of Venice
- “Narrative knowledge”: social and emotional approaches, reference to micro-context awareness, appeal of local short stories.
- Promoting local culture as “slow” knowledge. Artistic and culinary excellence from Veneto.
- Artificial Intelligence and its potential to affect authors and publishers.
