The use of digital technologies to safeguard and improve the cultural heritage is a growing phenomenon that responds to the demand for preserving the integrity of cultural heritage collections and facilitating their use and access by a widespread public. These past years have witnessed the onset of many initiatives, some of them ultra ambitious, to digitise and manage the cultural heritage. But apart from several significant exceptions, the results have not been up to the expectations and the invested resources.
The Fondazione Rinascimento Digitale (FRD) proposes to form partnerships with centres of excellence that share its purposes, on the local, national and international level, co-financing events, courses, analyses, studies and research projects. In Italy the FRD works closely with the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the National Research Council (CNR).
