Areas of scientific interest

Study of an evolving society, relationships between individuals, daily life, changes and the impact of major events.

Tourism in its many facets; the offer of a real welcome and as a response to a national and international demand not always explicit.

Explaining religious sentiment in different types of objects and how these, considered sacred, contribute to the strengthening of a historical and Christian identity.

The evolution of demographic phenomena specifically in three main areas: the structure of the Italian population with projections to the world, the couple and family composition, the phenomena of immigration and new emigration.

In an increasingly multi-ethnic society, to study how to deal with the different stable or temporary ethnic groups (tourists), how to communicate and how to welcome with an adequate supply of food.
