Summary:<p>The contribution aims to describe the "Amiternum Project," one of the points of the University's Strategic Plan. The aim of this project is to transform the archaeological area in a short time into a virtuous example of cultural welfare. Archaeology, therefore, conceived as a form of salutogenesis, would be transformed into a useful tool for the prevention of social and cognitive decay, as well as a means of overcoming the cultural divide, through the tools of culture, inclusion and active involvement of the population, leveraging the "founding myth" that the city of Amiternum has always constituted for the entire L'Aquila area, surrounding towns and small villages.<br />The most relevant aspect of the project is the promotion of active participation of citizens in the enhancement of the territory in an exercise of identity self-representation, the peculiarities of its heritage and culture.</p><p><span class="TextRun SCXW31157576 BCX8" lang="IT-IT" xml:lang="IT-IT" data-contrast="auto">DOI: https://doi.org/10.20365/disegnarecon.31.2023.</span><span class="TextRun Highlight SCXW31157576 BCX8" lang="IT-IT" xml:lang="IT-IT" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW31157576 BCX8">1</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW31157576 BCX8">6</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW31157576 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
