Presentation
I am Laura98b, a student at the University of Bergamo in the first year of the Master’s Program in Planning and Management of Tourism Systems.

I developed this account to participate in a project related to the Heritage studies and ICT course that aims to contribute to Wikipedia articles about municipalities, territories and heritage sites in the frame of Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/UNIBG/Heritage_studies_and_ICT), by adding information and expanding the content of already existing pages. Getting the opportunity to take part in this project was a great honour.

Preparation
Before I began, I determined the pages I wanted to concentrate on and contribute to, and then I searched for trustworthy sources. After that, I tried to double-check the sources and information that were already available and to add new information, based on books taken from the town library of Airuno (purely paper sources).

The pages to which I have opted to contribute are:


 * Airuno (IT): https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airuno
 * Airuno (ENG): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airuno
 * Aizurro (IT): https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aizurro
 * Santuario della Madonna del Bosco - Imbersago (IT): https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santuario_della_Madonna_del_Bosco_(Imbersago)
 * Sanctuary of Madonna del Bosco - Imbersago (ENG): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuary_of_Madonna_del_Bosco,_Imbersago

After that, I created a Wikipedia account and edited the Italian (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Laura98b), as well as the English version (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Laura98b) of my user page, where I inserted some basic information about myself and the project I am contributed to.

Lastly, I used my Wikipedia account to create a Wikimedia Dashboard account.

Motivation
The fact that I grew up and still live in Airuno is the main reason for my decision to work on such articles. I was able to discover some aspects related to the history, the environment, the folklore and traditions that I didn’t know and, as a result, I enjoyed them even more (and in a different way). Moreover, I chose to do some research and to make changes to the page concerning the little hamlet of Airuno, which is named Aizurro, very little known but very pleasant to be discovered. To conclude, as for the heritage sites, I decided to focus on a church in Imbersago, a little municipality in the province of Lecco, called “Sanctuary of Madonna del Bosco”. This choice is related to emotional factors. In fact, my grandfather was very religious and often attended this church, going there to pray.

Airuno (IT)
I started my Wikipedia project by adding information to the Italian page of Airuno (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airuno). Here:


 * I added information to the already existing section “Origini del nome”, trying to explain all the theories;
 * I created the section “Bibliography”, where I inserted the book I have read for the purpose of carrying out this study (Tarcisio Longhi, Angelo Tavola, “Airuno, un paese da amare”, Rusconi, 1984).

Finally, I added a comment in the Discussion Page (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussione:Airuno) describing my contributions.

Airuno (ENG)
My work in relation to this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airuno) was to translate some of the most important information from the Italian Wikipedia page.


 * I created the section “History”;
 * In the part related to “References”, I add the sources to specify where the information comes from (Annalisa Borghese, Airuno, in Il territorio lariano e i suoi comuni, Milan, Editoriale del Drago, 1992, p. 64).

Any of the data was taken directly from the corresponding Italian webpage.

To conclude, in the Discussion Page, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Airuno), I have written an explanatory paragraph about my contribution.

Aizurro (IT)
Considering the Wikipedia page of this little hamlet of Airuno, (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aizurro), I decided to enrich the already existing content by:


 * Adding the sections “Sviluppo e origini del nome” and “Personaggi degni di nota”;
 * Improving the presence of reliable sources; in fact, I created the section “Bibliography”, to specify where I took the infomation  (Giuseppina Mauri, "Irün: un'ugiada ai temp indrê", Airuno, 2001 / Tarcisio Longhi, Angelo Tavola, “Airuno, un paese da amare”, Rusconi, 1984).

Lastly, I created a new section in the Discussion Page (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussione:Aizurro) where I explained my contributions.

Santuario della Madonna del Bosco - Imbersago (IT)
In this page (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santuario_della_Madonna_del_Bosco_(Imbersago) ), I only added an image (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Madonna_del_Bosco_-_Scalinata_dall%27alto.jpg), taken from Wikimedia Commons, concerning the view of the staircase of the church from above.

At the end, I left a comment in the Discussion Page (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussione:Santuario_della_Madonna_del_Bosco_(Imbersago) ) where I described what my contributions to this page had been.

Sanctuary of Madonna del Bosco - Imbersago (ENG)
Concerning the English page of Santuario della Madonna del Bosco (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuary_of_Madonna_del_Bosco,_Imbersago), I:


 * Added information to the already existing section “History”, providing more precise details;
 * Created the sections "Famous visits" and "Sanctuary of Madonna del Bosco and the media";
 * Improved the presence of reliable sources; in fact, I added information in the section “References”, to specify where the information come from (Virginio Longoni, Imbersago. Il fiume, le torri, le chiese, le ville nella storia di Imbersago, 2002, Bellavite editore, Missaglia (Lecco) ISBN 88-86832-95-8 / Natale Perego, Miracoli dipinti, Oggiono, 1993 / Luigi Santucci, Brianza ed altri amori, Milan, 1981, p. 143).

At the end, I inserted the links of the articles I worked on in the italian (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:Coordinamento/Universit%C3%A0/UNIBG/Heritage_studies_and_ICT) and the English (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/UNIBG/Heritage_studies_and_ICT) Wikipedia pages of this project.

Conclusion
Take part in this project was particularly stimulating; hope my contributions will be useful!
