Virtual twinning between Alessandra Moregola, a student of the Academy of Brera and the AOTC
When a “like” becomes the starting point for getting the most at school. Location of the story that you are going to tell the social network. The protagonists of this interesting twinning Alessandra Moregola, a student of the Academy of Brera in Milan, and the Association of Tour Operators of Castiglion Fiorentino. The first with his Facebook page, (https://www.facebook.com/CastiglionFiorentinoComeraECome), is seeking approval to “boost” the written his thesis. And the AOTC, glad to help you, with a “click” more (http://www.facebook.com/incastiglionfiorentino) argues that long and sometimes courageous journey towards the development of the area. Example: full membership and participation in the organization of the Fair Play Award program in the next, 1,2 and 3 July. But what is the common thread that unites two worlds so far apart? Soon said the town of Castiglion Fiorentino. The topic of the thesis of young university focuses just on the country of the Tower of the Fortress, “Castiglion Fiorentino as it was and is.” And who better to help the Association in this way and thus increase their consents, “like”! “The decision to support it – says Lidia Castellucci President AOTC – Is part of our policy, that is, to create a network between several parties to give the territory a strong and sophisticated image. ” The meeting between the two “subjects” was, as always, is random. And given the first results, the substantial increase of friends, this “link” is bearing good fruit. Choosing a topic for a thesis, you know, is never easy. Especially if the course of study is cultural heritage. Italy, moreover, is a treasure chest in the open. But for Alexandra Moregola, a student at the Academy of Brera, the path was easier than for other fellow-students. Yes, because she had the good fortune to know a country like Castiglion Fiorentino, full of history, and from which to draw their inspiration. “I was born in Milan – he says – but my maternal grandparents are natives of this part of Tuscany. I spent the school holidays from them, and that’s how I ‘love’ of this beautiful city. Over the years I’ve been so set that I made too many friends. ” Alessandra is happy because thanks to a university exam can tell his memories, a piece of the history of his family. “Thanks to my course of study – still – I see things that I did not notice before. Indeed, at times, I also discover new things. For example, during the last Easter holidays, Good Friday procession, I saw, after the restoration, the Church of St. Augustine. Magnificent! “Hence the idea of telling a part of the country’s history with photos of the collection Fusi. “I have to thank her high volume” adds Alexandra. There are panoramic views and the old town dating from the late 800 and early 900, and photos with the same subjects taken today. “So – said the student – we can see the various changes. And sometimes are so many! “The greatest desire of Alessandra is to” enhance the architectural and cultural heritage of Castiglion Fiorentino. Also I would like to make it known to as many people. The country is truly unique and valuable. ” And here enters the A. O.T.C. and social as Facebook and Twitter, those means of communication, for some other brand new for obsolete, which reach many friends. “The project of Web Design that I’m doing – he added – is to scan old pictures. Some I “pinnate” from various websites and Google, and others I’ve taken personally. I had to create a profile on Pinterest, a Facebook page and a blog on WordPress. In the three social networks I publish posts (photo) and try to have the highest number of views, “Like” and “follower”, so to get a high mark at the end of the course. ” The web becomes, therefore, important for any student of any university. It ‘very convenient to communicate not only “among us – still – but also with the teachers themselves.” But it is good to be clear “the social cultural world did not change, but they made faster communication. By now, even between us guys do not talk, but you chat … “said Alessandra Moregola.
