Ecomuseums on Museum international. The special issue of Museum International “Museums and Cultural Landscapes” was dedicated to the theme of the ICOM 2016 general conference (Milan - Itay). Five articles by Italian museologists are published on the issue of Museum International: It is an unusual result for the Italian museology to have five contributions on a magazine of such international importance: it is the result of a great preparation work. In the magazine there is also the contribution of the network of Italian ecomuseums (by the coordinator of Parabiago Ecomuseum) who organized the forum of ecomuseums and community museums at the ICOM 2016 general conference.
