Notes:

"The edited volume Archaeology, Cultural Heritage and World War II: Italy, Greece, France and Finland as Historical Contexts primarily aims to investigate the impact of war on cultural heritage, antiquities and communities during the last world conflict focusing on selected national frameworks. The essays collected in this volume derive from a two-day international conference, Antiquities, Sites and Museums Under Threat, held at Ghent University in Belgium (15-16 October 2020) and thematically connected to my Marie Skłodowska- Curie Individual Fellowship Cultural Heritage in Danger: Archaeology and Communities in Sicily during the Second World War (1940-45) . . . Collecting and presenting only a selection of eleven contributions arising from the above-mentioned conference, the volume offers fresh and strongly multidisciplinary essays on cultural heritage and World War II studies, assessing twelve case studies that embrace a variety of subjects (archaeology, history, museum, military, social studies, etc.)"--Introduction.
