Final Document: my contribution to Wikipedia
Thanks to this project I had the opportunity to write about a Southern-Italian town and a part of its local heritage which I think should deserve more recognition especially on the international market.

First, I decided to contribute by editing on Wikipedia.en to an already existing page about Locorotondo, as I noticed it was not complete. In the first section I added information about its geographical position and its historical centre, mentioning the importance of the "Cummerse", traditional buildings used for tourism purposes. In the section about the heritage and main sights, instead, I contributed by adding new contents concerning the two patron saints of the town and their celebration. Thus, I verified the reliability of the data and updated the number of inhabitants to 2021.

For the article related to the heritage I decided to work on the Church of Madonna della Greca, the most ancient church of the town and, in my opinion, the most peculiar. I had to completely create it by zero as it did not exist in the English version; therefore, I added the history, the description of the building and I updated a photograph from Wikipedia Commons archive.

Discussions (discussion page, project). Description of the contribution and the dynamics with links
I added a comment on the discussion page (talk) about my contribution to the English articles about Locorotondo and the Church of Madonna della Greca to inform the Wikipedia community. I also enclosed the link to the page of the assignment.

Citations and use of sources. Description of the contribution with links
The most useful source was the one of the municipality (http://www.comune.locorotondo.ba.it/comune-di-locorotondo), although it was available in Italian only; therefore, I had to readapt and translate it. Other important sources of information were:


 * 1) G. Liuzzi - V. De Michele - P. Cordasco (1990). Ricerche per una storia di Locorotondo. Disegni di Pasquale Montanaro.
 * 2) G. Guarella (1983). La Chiesa della Greca in Locorotondo.
