On Friday, 15 November, Marco Occhipinti was invited to speak about mail and communication to the students of Claudia Villani’s Cultural History and History Teaching course at the University of Bari. Villani is a researcher in Contemporary History at the Department of Humanistic Research and Innovation.
Marco, runner-up at the latest FEPA Kiddle Medal competition, presented his research method and approach to history in his “Sfizi.Di.Posta” program using slides and original postal documents. He highlighted that this method falls within the criteria for studying public history and illustrated its application in developing a student’s thesis.
