Main character
The Umbrian Chronicles is a video game that was created as part of the ‘Connessioni museali: tra valli e monti, borghi e città’ Project, promoted by the Municipalities of Spoleto, Sant’Anatolia di Narco, Cerreto di Spoleto, Vallo di Nera, Monteleone di Spoleto and financed by Regione Umbria.
The aim of the project is to boost awareness of the cultural heritage of Spoleto and the Valnerina area. “The programmed actions in the game provide a pathway that is both real and virtual, combining places and historical-artistic goods both immaterial and natural” reads the notes on the council’s decision-making process guided by the Mayor of Spoleto, Umberto de Augustinis. The project “began with the awareness that there are increasingly three macro areas of potential visitor, something that became increasingly evident during the Covid emergency: on the one hand, there are those who are virtual, distant, multilinguistic, multi-cultural, always connected.” Then there are the real-life visitors, “i.e., locals and tourists who will return to visiting museums.” (Spoletonline). Numerous museums were involved, and are included, in the graphic adventure created by Entertainment Game Apps and IVIPRO provided research support.
