Le memorie della gente comune. L'Archivio dei Diari di Pieve Santo Stefano.

The paper aims to describe the historical path of the Diaristic Archive of Pieve Santo Stefano (Arezzo), starting from its foundation, promoted by Saverio Tutino, with the aim to create a place to preserve the memories written by the "common people", and arriving to its constantly growing "nursery" that collects diaries, letters, e-mails. Some of the preserved documents have become representative of the Archive, like the Bed Sheet of Clelia, in which the story of her life is embroidered; the notebooks of Vincenzo Rabito, an autobiography written in an oral language mixed with "Sicilianisms" and capable of drawing a portrait of his Sicily; the notes written by Orlando Posti, an 18-year-old boy who took part in the Resistance. This work of conservation and care of these "stories in history" leads the Diaristic Archive to take on new opportunities to enhance these memories by digitizing the documents preserved with the aim of networking them and setting up a Digital Autobiographical Archive.
