Benedetto Benedetti, Irene Bounazia, Maria, Emelia Masci, Stella Montani
Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa

European-wide efforts in heritage systems are moving increasingly to state of the art technologies in a maturation phase into cross-European systems. This is the approach in BRICKS, the largest EC project in the area, across Europe and Russia of heritage. It is led by the major Italian company, Engineering and includes partners from Framework VII.
Professor Benedetti has been among the pioneers in the area and has played a key role in the swift development of culture x technology in Tuscany, Italy and the rest of Europe for some 20 years. This masterclass is an excellent opportunity for archive, library, museum and academia professionals to improve their capabilities in advanced heritage applications.
