Arab-Norman Heritage: State of Knowledge and New Actions and Innovative Proposal

A groundbreaking approach to preserving and enhancing UNESCO-listed Arab-Norman heritage sites in Palermo, Cefalú, and Monreale has emerged from ongoing research. This study introduces an innovative data bank that integrates geo-referenced systems with virtual itineraries, enabling periodic updates and comprehensive documentation while addressing conservation needs. By focusing on the authentication of material-constructive values and strategic reconstruction, the research proposes a model for conscious heritage management. It also advocates for targeted communication strategies using advanced means to attract users and ensure coherent future interventions. This methodology bridges traditional conservation practices with modern technological solutions, setting a new standard for the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage.
