The starting point of the Avalanche project is the first unitary government of Salerno in 1944 and the first Greek government in exile in Cava dei Tirreni. They followed the Allied landing “Avalanche” in continental Italy, the first of assault to “fortress Europe” for the liberation of the Continent, which would open the way for the instauration of modern democracies.
The project will focus on women’s testimony and natural language processing, on historical events that are generally unknown and have not been previously a focus of research, on their impact on communities and territories, in order to create a link between global and local histories, focusing on the Liberation War (the liberation of Europe from nazi-fascist oppression), the Rome Holocaust and the application of the Nazis’ “final solution” in Italy and Greece.
Avalanche has based on the power of digital transformation of the Heritage and its digital sharing
