For the assignment of the course Heritage studies and ICT I signed up in Wikipedia and then I created my account both in English and in Italian introducing myself to the community.

Description of the contribution
Since on the 24th of July 2021 Padua was enlisted for the second time in the UNESCO World Heritage List with its 14th-century Fresco Cycles (contained in eight different buildings in its city centre), I edited some existing Wikipedia articles (both in Italian and in English) concerning the city of Padua and two of these buildings. I added a couple of lines explaining what was declared World Heritage by UNESCO and why. A major contribution was done in the English article of the Palazzo della Ragione, where I created two paragraphs concerning the history and the frescoes.

Moreover, another major contribution was done in the Italian article of Castelvecchio (The Castle of Padua). I wrote two paragraphs giving more details about the construction and the functions of the building. I used a book I already had as source.

I added the links to the Wikipedia articles I edited on GLAM/UNIBG/Heritage studies and ICT for the articles in English (4 articles) and on Progetto:Coordinamento/Università/UNIBG/Heritage studies and ICT for the articles in Italian (5 articles).
