Abstract

The Mediterranean Sea can be considered the common link between all the Countries surrounding it. Different peoples, cultures, arts, crafts, religions and traditions have passed through it, forging both a shared cultural identity and also differences, which can be easily traced in a lot of cities and territories. The Mediterranean city suggests unions and dissonances, sealing the alliance pact that has seen peaceful coexistence, albeit after the imposed dominations of a multi-ethnic and multicultural society. Many cities overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, as Barcelona, Palermo and Skikda, still today impose a reflection about how is strong the evident relation between their different ways of living. We also want to associate the shared creation – through the European Erasmus+ project, K2 action, entitled Smart Rehabilitation 3.0 – of a common professional profile in Building Rehabilitation Expert, as a model of rehabilitation and safeguard for historic Mediterranean cities.
