The first degree course in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage arrives in Sardinia.
The initiative starts from Barumini, with its UNESCO nuragic site, resulting from the collaboration between the Foundation of the same name led by Emanuele Lilliu, the University of Cagliari with the rector Francesco Mola and the Archaeological Superintendence of Fine Arts and Landscape for the Metropolitan City of Cagliari and the Provinces of Oristano and Southern Sardinia led by Monica Stochino.
Registrations, on the University of Cagliari website, start today and offer an opportunity for the professional future of 15 students who will continue their studies a stone's throw from Su Nuraxi and with an already active and efficient laboratory. The five-year course will allow, after the degree thesis, the official qualification to the profession of restorer with registration in the register.
Thirty exams to take: there are two specialist English language laboratories, one for IT and five for conservation and restoration, including one for archaeological excavations in Barumini. The lessons, as well as in Barumini, will take place in Cagliari at Sa Duchessa and at the Cittadella dei Musei.
In addition to a diploma, it will also be necessary to have a B1 level of English and pass three entrance tests, a graphics test, a visual perceptual test and an interview. The tests have been set for 10, 11 and 18 September at the Cittadella. Rector Mola underlined how «the course can become a springboard for international summer schools».
For Monica Stochino, the importance of these professional figures "will allow the historical heritage to be reacquired, highlighting the potential in terms of driving the growth of communities from a cultural and social perspective".
Barumini will therefore have a leading role in the new path which, according to Emanuele Lilliu "will allow us to make a new leap in quality with regards to cultural heritage thanks to the great skills that will be formed in Sardinia".
In his greeting at the presentation, the mayor of Barumini Michele Zucca underlined how this initiative «unique in Sardinia represents a further growth of knowledge in the archaeological field and an opportunity to enhance our territory».
