Overview

The Master’s degree program in Metodi e Tecnologie per la storia dell’arte ( LM – 89; Art History) offers an updated and innovative academic path that aims to bridge specialized knowledge in art history with the opportunities provided by new technologies in the study of cultural heritage.
The program aims to provide in-depth knowledge of Italian and European artistic heritage, covering the period from the Early Middle Ages to the contemporary era. In particular, it seeks to promote mastery of the specific methodologies used in art historical studies, as well as of the various disciplines relevant to the interpretation of figurative phenomena: from the history of restoration to the history of artistic techniques; from museography to archival research and the use of manuscript and printed sources.
A key component of the program is dedicated to the use of digital resources related to cultural heritage (digital humanities), as well as to scientific and diagnostic technologies for the analysis of artworks. In this latter field, the program benefits from a close collaboration with the Arvedi Laboratory of Non-Invasive Diagnostics, based in Cremona and affiliated with the Department of Musicology and Cultural Heritage.
The goal is to foster a meaningful contamination between art history, direct engagement with artworks, and the methods of the pure sciences.
To broaden its educational reach, part of the program will be delivered in blended mode, combining in-person lectures with specifically designed online and asynchronous learning modules.
