This volume stems from a two-day international workshop which was held at the University of Trento on the 23rd and 24th February 2023. The quality of the papers presented, and of the debate accordingly, along with the friendly atmosphere which further favored the discussion on the intricate relationship between memory and space from a variety of theoretical backgrounds and methodological perspectives, led us to commit ourselves to publish this collection of studies. The final version of each essay is the outcome of a tight exchange between each author and the editors, and it also benefited from the informal review made by a number of colleagues, specialists on the relevant topics. To those colleagues we wish to express our gratitude for sharing their time and expertise and contributing to the overall quality of the volume. Last but not least, our thanks go to Giulia Moriconi for providing valuable assistance throughout the editorial process and to the informal referees for their comments and criticism.
