“…To consolidate the nascent nation-state, national leaders and government administrations in the decades to follow were all excessively keen on building a united Italian nation. The nationalism cultivated by the early Italian governments intensified considerably during the 20 years of Fascist domination (called the ventennio; 1922-1943); the regime's appropriation of ancient heritage provided an imagined national identity (to borrow Anderson's notion) supported by historical justifications (Cavazza 2012;Higueras 2011;Malone 2017).…”

Community participation is increasingly advocated as a promising approach to cultural heritage management. One of the main justifications for doing so is to challenge the authorized heritage discourse and further multivocality. However, regarding the approach of “community participation”, many issues are yet to be addressed. This project tackles one of the main issues faced by participatory heritage initiatives. That is, with the presence of diverse voices about heritage in a so-called community, how does the community deal with the multivocal reality? This project explores this question by drawing on various examples from three Italian communities - Mesagne and Latiano from the southern Italian region of Apulia, and the neighbourhood of Testaccio in the historic centre of Rome.
