Ecomuseo della Via Appia:un progetto di sviluppo sostenibile per la piana di Brindisi

The Ecomuseo della Via Appia (EVA) derives from the Parco dei Messapiof Muro Tenente with the aim of bringing together the Municipalities, bywhich the Via Appia Antica passes, towards a sustainable development projectinspired by the European Landscape Convention and the Faro Convention.The Archaeological Park of Muro Tenente is managed by a technicalscientific Committee composed by the Superintendence A.B.A.P. for provincesof Brindisi, Lecce e Taranto, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, theUniversity of Salento and the Municipalities of Mesagne and Latiano. The Ecomuseo della Via Appia is increasingly taking on the features of a 'metaluogo', an ideal space for experimentation, meeting and aggregation. So, starting from a simple ecomuseum laboratory, EVA is becoming a project to aggregate the social, cultural and environmental capital of the district, putting actors, resources and skills in the network.
