From the Editorial Team

Versione italiana Introducing a new way to interact with the Network Museum community: the COURTESY INVITATION. Our editorial staffs have been interviewing people, colleagues, specialists, and guests since before the Internet arrived in Italy. It is not just about writing questions and demanding answers in exchange for visibility, but, as we write in the correspondence…

The Measure of the Self illustrates the evolution of the Network Museum’s editorial project, offering a reflection on “museum intelligence.” Renewal is not merely aesthetic, but a true act of regeneration that combines method and mission. Through the initiatives Museum Systematics and Network Museum Economics, the museum is seen as a complex organism, balancing resources and identity. Analogies with accounting, professional practice, and particle physics highlight its dual nature, dynamic and static, operational and patrimonial. In this vision, the museum becomes not only a place of preservation, but also a laboratory of continuous education and social growth.

A lesson in courtesy, intelligence, humility, organization, and a true sense of communication and sociality from Bill Gates!

This editorial introduces the “From the Editorial Team” section as a vital space for understanding and engaging with the Network Museum’s content. Far from being a trivial appendix, it serves as a direct channel between the editorial team and readers, offering insight into the intentions and reasoning behind published materials.

The article emphasizes that Network Museum is not a commercial or institutional site, but a scientific publication managed by INFOGESTIONE s.a.s., dedicated to research in heritage management and museum education. It operates without advertisements or public funding, maintaining independence and adherence to the Galilean scientific method.

Readers are invited to participate actively—whether by proposing research topics, sharing museum-related experiences, or collaborating on projects. The editorial underscores the uniqueness of the platform, its commitment to sincerity, and its role as a space for professional dialogue and experimentation.

The article celebrates the beginning of the seventh season of the Network Museum, twenty years after its founding in 2005. Each new season involves a ritual resetting of the archives, honoring the transformation of people, ideas, and institutions involved. This gesture is also a form of respect for data protection laws and for the ongoing evolution of the cultural landscape.

Today, the Network Museum presents itself as the coordinator of a multimodal research paradigm, with several operational spin-offs: Network Museum LAB, People, TV, Explorer, EDU, and People Café. Its goal is to evolve from a simple webzine into the central node of an experimental network dedicated to museum research—not only in terms of conservation, but also education, communication, and management.

The seventh season will be marked by:

A new graphic identity

Fewer interviews and generic articles

Greater focus on the outcomes of internal projects

No advertising or sales: content remains sacred

Active involvement of museum institutions and sector professionals

The tone is both critical and affectionate, and the article closes with an invitation to conscious participation and shared celebration of twenty years of activity.

Versione italiana From the Editorial Team Research, spin-offs, articles, services and, above all, sharing, these are the highlights of INFOGESTIONE’s newly redesigned institutional website. The INFOGESTIONE website has changed. Not updated, changed. Because this is not a graphic restyling, nor a simple content rearrangement. It is a digital curatorial epiphany, an act of presence. A…
