Development and its circumstances of regional cultures in medieval and early modern Italy

该研究计划有三个要素：第一是收集来源和资源。我们收集了关于罗马（拉齐奥）、罗马涅、利古里亚和翁布里亚地区的历史期刊，以及在日本很难得到的中世纪和近代早期历史的杰出作品，例如，“Storia di Venezia”卷，Istituto Datini的出版物，Ecole francaise de罗马的出版物。二是与国外研究人员的合作。六名成员前往意大利和其他国家调查资料来源或与学者交流。我们与M.G.教授举办了两次国际研讨会。博洛尼亚大学教授Muzzarelli和M. Dal Borgo，Archivio di Stato di Venezia的档案管理员，许多学者参与其中。第三是举行学习集会，讨论意大利独特的城市及其之间的联系，并在更广泛的意义上明确“人及其周围环境”。我们每年在京都和富山举办两次研讨会，其中有一次研讨会“中世纪意大利的城墙”，许多意大利研究的研究人员和学生参加了研讨会。研究结果不仅将作为文集出版，而且还将作为中世纪和近代早期意大利的意大利城市研究指南。

This Research Program has three elements: first is the collection of sources and resources. We got collections of historical journals on regions of Rome (Lazio), Romagna, Liguria and Umbria, and remarkable works on medieval and early modern history which are hard to be got in Japan, for example, volumes of "Storia di Venezia", publications of Istituto Datini, those of Ecole francaise de Rome. Second is the collaboration with researchers abroad. Six members went to Italy and other countries to investigate sources or intercommunicate with scholars. We held two international seminars with Prof. M.G. Muzzarelli, Professor University of Bologna and Dr. M. Dal Borgo, Archivist of Archivio di Stato di Venezia, in which many scholars participated. Third is having assemblies for study to discuss unique cities of Italy and connections between them and make clear of "people and their surroundings" in wider senses. We held seminars twice in Kyoto and once in Toyama every year, among which there was a symposium "Walls of Medieval Italy", in which many researchers and students of Italian Studies took part.The results are to be published not only as collected works, but also as guide book for studies of Italian Cities in medieval and early modern Italy.
