Abstract: This volume is a collection of interviews with distinguished experts in the Italian Cultural Heritage (CH) sector. The challenge that currently characterizes the CH field lies in the ability to implement integrated and synergic research, overcome sectoral boundaries and foster cultural, environmental and technological transformations. Moreover, the innovative use of technology appears to be necessary for the enhancement, management, conservation and promotion of CH processes. Such an alternative use of technology is crucial, not only to create new forms of access and fruition of cultural content but also to actively involve citizens in cognitive and experiential practices.

Therefore, it was deemed appropriate to address some questions to professionals currently involved in the digital innovation process in the field of Cultural and Archaeological Heritage, asking them to offer a broad snapshot of the varied and complex system of cultural heritage management.
