Digitalization and Cultural Heritage in Italy.

Cultural heritage, in Italy, is a limitless source of innovation where traditions meet cutting-edge technology, mainly from the ongoing 4.0 digital revolution. Digital heritage is becoming an interesting dimension: the contemporary audience expects both stability and flexibility from museums, which should have attractivity without losing credibility.
Technology and exhibition design can help in the creation of new spaces and innovative solutions, to have the audience enjoying and living a memorable experience.
