The city of Spoleto is a commune of 39.000 inhabitants, situated in the Valle Umbra Sud (Southern East of Umbria) between Rome and Florence. The finds of Colle Sant’Elia (11th-10th centuries BC) and the boundary walls in polygonal masonry (3er-1st centuries BC) testify to the vitality of the Umbrian settlement long before the roman. Spoletium gained Roman citizenship becoming a municipium in 90 BC. The roman house and theatre, the Ponte Sanguinario, the Arch of Drusus and the Amphiteatre testify the importance of Spoleto in the roman period. It became afterwards the capital of a lombard Duchy, than ruled by Frank and German dynasties. The Basilica of San Salvatore, built during the lombard Duchy, is part of the serial site The Longobards in Italy: Places of Power (568-774 AD) declared, in 2011, a World Heritage site by UNESCO. In 1155 Spoleto was an indipendent city and, a few years later, became part of the Church State through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Modern period, until 1860. The 20th century was marked by the birth of important cultural institutions, thus highlighting the city’s vocation, on which both the Administration and Spoleto’s citizens have strongly invested, to enhance the Heritage and conceive new cultural events. The most prestigious ones, still active, are the Experimental Opera Theatre – 1947, the Study Centre on High Middle Ages – 1952 and the Festival of Two Worlds – 1958. The municipality of Spoleto has 220 employees and governs a territory of 348 square kilometers.

The National Museum of Slovenia, which was founded by the Carniolan State Parliament on the 15th of October 1821, is the oldest of all Slovenian museum institutions. Its six departments collect, document, preserve, and investigate the mobile cultural heritage of Slovenia and present it to the public. Thanks to the exceptional educational level of its staff members, the museum also has the status of a research institution, and is involved in several scientific research projects focused on a more detailed study of the Slovenian cultural heritage. The quality of the museum activities in the central national museum depends on the staff and its consultants, with their excellent professional command of their fields and specific areas of specialization. Only through such an approach is it possible to present the cultural heritage of Slovenia to the public in a modern, attractive, and popular manner. The museum wishes to illuminate in detail through the presentation of material (in the form of scientific and popular publications and exhibitions) individual segments of the history of present-day Slovenia and make this available to the widest possible public. With the digitalization of material and the construction of an electronic database about the cultural heritage that its preserves, the National Museum of Slovenia has joined similar European institutions that are attempting to enable the broadest possible access to items of the cultural heritage through the use of modern information technology.
