So the province has decided to finance the ImagoOnline laboratory of historical research on daily’s life memory – University of Bologna - Rimini Branch for the carrying out of the Memoria/ life stories in the province of Pesaro-Urbino project.
The research has the proposal to run through the economic, political and social course of the province territory during the Twentieth Century using the “life stories” of a group of people who are over 90 years old.
