The discipline of Historical Geography is included in the Master's degrees in Cultural Anthropology, Ethnology, Ethnolinguistics (FM10) and History from the Middle Ages to the Contemporary Age (FM7).
It is integrated into the context of the courses of study in which it is inserted developing an interpretative capacity as a whole of the Italian territorial reality as it was formed in its diachronic processes.
The expected results can be identified:
- in the ability to read the territory and the anthropic landscape according to a historical-geographical logic
- in achieving an adequate level of knowledge of the elements of the landscape
- in providing the skills necessary to recognize the different historical-territorial systems of the Italian reality
A good knowledge of history from the Middle Ages to the contemporary era
The Historical Geography identifies the sector of the geographic area which considers the territory as an historical formation and arises as a possible synthesis of historical and geographical aspects of the places forming the intricate structure of the same territory. The program aims to address the diachronic evolution of the Italian landscape from the Middle Ages to Contemporary Age
