Presentation

modifica

I am ADess9, a student at the University of Bergamo and attending the first year of the Master Course in Planning and Management of Tourism Systems.

I created this account in order to take part into a project related to the course of Heritage Studies and ICT, which aims to contribute to articles about municipalities, territories and heritage sites in the frame of Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/UNIBG/Heritage_studies_and_ICT), by enriching and enlarging the content of already existing pages.

It was a pleasure having the opportunity to take part into this project.

Preparation

modifica

Before starting, I decided the pages I wanted to focus on and give contributions to; then I looked for reliable sources. After that, I tried to check the sources and information that were already present and I came to the conclusion that they were all reliable sources (I examined them too at the town library of Cassano d'Adda).

The pages to which I decided to contribute are the following:

Then, I created a Wikipedia Account and edited both the Italian (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:ADess9) and the English (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ADess9) versions of my user page on Wikipedia: there, I added some pieces of information about who I am and about the project related to Wikipedia to which I contributed (as well as the links of the pages I decided to work on).

Finally, I registered on Wikimedia Dashboard through my Wikipedia account and there too I added some information on my profile.

Motivation

modifica

The main reason why I decided to work on such pages is that I have grown up and still live in Cassano d'Adda, which is my hometown. I had the chance to "rediscover" it and appreciate it even more (and in a different way) soon after the end of my Erasmus and, especially, after the first quarantine due to Covid. Beside that, I then decided to focus on the Villa d'Adda-Borromeo and on the Castello di Cassano d'Adda because to me they are two of the most beautiful and captivating buildings of Cassano d'Adda.

Work

modifica

Cassano d'Adda

modifica

I started working on the Italian Wikipedia page of Cassano d'Adda. In this page:

  • I added some information in the introduction and in the section related to "Origini del nome".
  • I created the brief section (and following paragraph) concerning "Stemma del comune".
  • I added some information in the paragraph of the "Onorificenze".
  • I added some information in the section of "Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse": more precisely, I created the paragraphs related to "Cappella del Revellino", "Alzabandiera", "Belvedere", "Ruotone (Rudun)" and "Piazze" and added some things in "Palazzo Berva" and "Castello di Cassano d'Adda".
  • Then, I added an already existing picture (File:Il Castello Borromeo di Cassano d'Adda.jpg) on Wikipedia (Inserisci -> Immagini e file multimediali -> Cerca): Veduta del Castello di Cassano d'Adda da Piazza Cavour.

At the end, I left a comment in the Discussion Page (Discussione:Cassano d'Adda#Modifica e aggiunta di articoli nella pagina di Cassano d'Adda (Progetto Universitario)), where I described what my contributions to this page had been.

Villa d'Adda-Borromeo

modifica

In this page (Villa d'Adda-Borromeo) I only added some pieces of information in the introduction and in some of the paragraphs related to the history. Then, I added the reference text I used (Carlo Valli, Il Dizionario Cassanese. Roba da ca' nosta, Marna editore, 2010) in the section "Bibliografia".

Finally, I also left a comment in the Discussion Page (Discussione:Villa d'Adda-Borromeo) briefly describing my work.

Castello di Cassano d'Adda

modifica

For what concerns my work in this page (Castello di Cassano d'Adda):

  • I added some information in the introduction and in the paragraph "Età moderna" (in the section "Storia").
  • I added and created the section "Architettura".
  • I added the book I used for my work (Carlo Valli, Il Dizionario Cassanese. Roba da ca' nosta, Marna editore, 2010) in the "Bibliografia".

I later added a comment in the Discussion Page (Discussione:Castello di Cassano d'Adda#Brevi aggiunte pagina Wikipedia Castello di Cassano d'Adda (Progetto Universitario)), once again briefly describing my work and my contributions to this page.

Cassano d'Adda (ENG)

modifica

Concerning this page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassano_d%27Adda) my work was to translate some of the most relevant information from the Italian Wikipedia page. In fact:

  • I created the sections "Geography" and "Origins of the name".
  • I modified and reorganised the section related to "Monuments and main sights", by adding paragraphs related to "Religious architecture", "Civil architectures", "Military architectures" and "Others".
  • I also created the section "Anthropic geography".

All the information were directly translated from the corresponding Italian webpage.

Finally, I added a comment in the Discussion Page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cassano_d%27Adda), where I briefly described my work.

Collaboration with other users

modifica

I had the chance to collaborate with user Mcava19 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mcava19), one of my classmates at PMTS, especially for what concerns the revision of the work done.

Beside that, I did not interact with any other user: I was only greeted and offered some help soon after my registration (but I think it was rather authomatic).
