User:RacheleColpo//Heritage studies and ICT 2020-2021

I am Rachele Colpo, student number 1076017. I am a student of the master course 'Planning and management of tourism systems' in Bergamo. In this course, during the lessons of Heritage Studies and ICT, I have to contribute to Wikipedia articles related to cities, territories and heritage, as part of the exam.

Links to the Wikipedia articles are

Description of the contribution and the dynamics with links
The contribution aims are to add information, which is relevant, on the pages; it is also important to check if there are any mistakes and use correct sources. The article chosen about the town is about Piedimulera and the one about heritage is about the church of San Bartolomeo in Villadossola. I chose them because I want to improve articles about the town and heritage of the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, situated in the north of Piedmont, where I live. It is important to give more information about small towns, like Piedimulera and about the heritage of them, which are relevant for the territory and their inhabitants to be known and well-preserved. I decide to contribute to other articles, about Monte Rosa, which is the second highest mountain in the Alps; about Orta San Giulio, which is a particular town in a different part of the province, the Cusio; and finally on the Sacro Monte of Arona which is a relevant heritage site of the Province. All the sources, which have been used, are books that were owned or borrowed from the local library of Piedimulera.

 * the geography of the town, where there was no information about the river, which is the reason why it was added information about the Anza’s river and its affluents.

 * The utilization of the local stone: Beola. It was not mentioned the name of the stone, which is the reason why it was added, with also the description of the external walls and how they are decorated.
 * Petroglyphs and their meaning. There was not a deeper description of them. It was added relevant information about the construction of the church related to the presence of this type of ancient graffiti. It is supposed that the land where the church was build was a profane cult site before its construction.
 * The most important artwork in the Church was stolen and it was not written on the section ‘interno’ of the Wikipedia page. It was added this information and it has been specified that the artwork, which is now exposed, is given by its creator Eugenio Bonelli.

Fallouts of the assignment & personal considerations :
About the contribution to OpenStreetMap, I registered on it, I create my account (RColpo) because I wanted to contribute to it. I found out that Ossola, a part of the province of Verbano Cusio Ossola, where I live and want to contribute, is all georeferenced, which is a great thing; this is the reason why I didn’t manage to contribute to it.

I also receive feedback on my discussion page, from a user who is not a student from unibg. I found interesting how you can improve articles and I will try to improve again the English article about Piedimulera, which is very empty.
