Goal

bell towers
groups practices

Scenario

Patrizia must propose safeguarding actions on some sound practices located in the territory of the Region starting from specific locations. She needs to know if the bells of some bell towers are involved in sound practices conducted by collective social actors who recognize those practices as constitutive trait of their collective identity. Patrizia starts her investigation from the denominations and the location of the bell towers. Patrizia checks whether the sound of those bell towers is done by hand or through electrification. Patrizia checks if there are more or less formalized and more or less recognized groups that carry out those practices. Patrizia verifies, in case of the presence of the groups, what kind of transmission and apprenticeship methods are carried out: in what age groups, if exclusively male or even female, with what type of transmission.
