Towards a repertory of digital tools for Italian Studies

Abstract

The progressive expansion of Digital Humanities and the rapid increase of digital projects dedicated to the study of Italian literature makes the creation of virtual collectors more necessary than ever. These collectors may bring together these resources and facilitate their availability and access. A first repertory of digital tools for Italian studies is presented in this essay and is proposed as a research tool for any type of user. This overall mapping of the network also makes possible to obtain an overview of current trends and to set out some reflections on the critical aspects of the current scenario of Digital Humanities and some possible proposals.
