Le edicole votive a Bitonto
The study of the votive shrines of Bitonto draws his original interest in some publications developed by the ‘Pro Loco’ in the Seventies of the twentieth century; it is developed in didactic sections and research papers of local newspapers ('Da Bitonto' e 'Primo Piano') edited by scholars and experts in History of Art and in History of Demoethnoanthropological heritage in the Nineties; it marks a sustainable tourism in educational projects for students (school years 2006-2012: in particular, thanks to the collaboration with the Middle School 'Anna De Renzio'-Bitonto); and then, under the auspices of the Centro Ricerche di Storia e Arte-Bitonto, the search is completed with the realization of this volume: the work, far from claiming completeness, presents for the first time a systematic census of this great wealth of material, figurative and religious culture, and thus ensures an interdisciplinary approach declined according to historical reasons, urban configurations, artistic phenomena and sociological implications
