The module aims to reconstruct the history of tourism by the unification at the end of World War II, highlighting the formation of national identity, the realization of the nationalization of the masses as tourism practices, as well as to outline the consensus reached by fascism as spreading in various level of Italian society of travels in Italy, in Italian colonies or abroad organized by the regime's organizations.

Students acquire advanced knowledge about the methods of the geographical research, through the
main steps of the evolution of the discipline. They acquire the ability to realize bibliographic searches and to get data from official statistical sources (even through the web network). They are able to manage, process, analyze and represent the acquired information.

The course aims to provide knowledge useful to examine the main components of the landscape, with particular reference to protected natural areas.

The student acquires the theoretical principles and the methods of the new cultural geography, considered as a way of innovative knowledge production, which integrate, modify and develop the established procedures of the discipline, but also as a key for reading and interpreting the most important cultural, social, economic events and processes of our time at the different geographical scales.

Acquiring basic critical tools to analyze Italian
literary texts and the history of those texts. Knowledge of major methodological approaches.

The course has the ambition to provide students with the economics and
economic geography theoretical explanation for the subject of growth and development. The course seek to
answer to the several basic questions: why do some regions / cities / areas
grow in economic terms? How space, territory, environment became key factors of the regional growth and
development? Which are the elements in urban and regional growth that can be
said in a general way responsible of
sustainable economic development, competitiveness and innovation
capacity? The aim of the course is to provide students with the knowledge of
the theoretical and methodological frameworks through which economics and
economic geography have answered to these questions; to explain the
paradigmatic shifts over time; to analyze
the main geographical current lines of thought in the issue of urban
and regional economic growth.

At the end of the course, students should be
able to recognize and interpreter the
territorial dimension of migration processes. Using a diachronic approach in
the study of migration, carried out at
different geographical scale, students will get theoretical and practical knowledge, useful to transform
the experience of immigration in an instrument of increasing of value of
territory.

Basic knowledge of Italian Literature after World War II to the Twenty-first century, its authors and its most important movements.

Knowledge and understanding of the specificity of
the history of Eastern Europe and its relations with the West through the
historical-critical examination of sources and studies.

The course objectives are the study and application to the practice of information technology tools to store, manage and share information.

To enable the student to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical experience and specific applications useful for entry in the labor market.

The candidate produces an original research work with experimental character, backed by appropriated maps and illustrations, by which he demonstrates that he has acquired the ability to manage and to elaborate on his own the skills gained during the theoretical and methodological study, with special regard to the search of bibliographic and cartographic sources, data collection, management and processing of statistical data, critical thinking and capacity of personal elaboration.

Students acquire knowledge about the basic concepts of metods and instruments in order to produce different kind of representations (informatic ones and visual ones) in the applications of geographic interest. In particular, it is considered necessary to acquire the ability of using the main open source softwares related to the management and processing of geopraphical data, images and sounds.
