UNESCO e Longobardi: per la prima volta patrimonio UNESCO non un luogo ma una cultura, più insediamenti, un corridoio

Evento storico: l’UNESCO riconosce come patrimonio dell’umanità in Italia non uno specifico luogo ma un corridoio geoculturale, sette insediamenti di rilievo Longobardi!
The Longobards in Italy, Places of Power, 568 – 774 A.D. (Italy) comprises seven groups of important buildings (including fortresses, churches, and monasteries) throughout the Italian Peninsula. They testify to the high achievement of the Lombards, who migrated from northern Europe and developed their own specific culture in Italy where they ruled over vast territories in the 6th to 8th centuries. The Lombards synthesis of architectural styles marked the transition from Antiquity to the European Middle Ages, drawing on the heritage of Ancient Rome, Christian spirituality, Byzantine influence and Germanic northern Europe. The serial property testifies to the Lombards’ major role in the spiritual and cultural development of Medieval European Christianity, notably by bolstering the monastic movement.
