Storiadelmondo ISSN 1721-0216, scientific, technical and professional electronic journal dealing with world-wide history, is published periodically by Drengo. University scholars make up the editorial board in Rome, helped by an international team of free lance reporters, who collaborate via the Internet. A Steering Committee of international university researchers and professors has been formed. We encourage, in particular, contributions from international scholars. The journal aims at spreading the knowledge of history - in all its fields- to the public in a serious and authoritative way. Themed books and individual excerpts are also available in print.

SISAEM, the International Society for the Study of the Adriatic in the Middle Ages is based in Rome and is dedicated to the promotion and diffusion of historical culture, in general, Adriatic history from antiquity to modern times and, in particular, supporting research on the Adriatic during the Middle Ages and Renaissance (5th to 16th centuries) in the broader sense, enhancing their scientific, education and social value.
SISAEM’s Promotional Committee, which has been active since October 2005, within the scope of the Medioevo Italiano Project, has supported numerous highly prominent cultural and social events aimed at disseminating the history and culture of the eastern Adriatic coast.

Research projects, reports, data, statistics, surveys, biographies and bibliographies concerning the current status of historical publishing and research in Italy.
In order to encourage the growth and progress of the humanities online, MIP makes its experience and expertise available to those projects that require help or information through the Central Conference for history and the humanities online (Conferenza Centrale). The Central Conference is a permanent telematic forum dealing with the humanities. It is also a consultation centre for the development of any electronic initiative within broad subject areas including history, philosophy, literature, languages and the humanities.
The committee of the Central Conference award the certificate (CC Humanities Award) to online projects which have distinguished themselves highly for correctness, comprehensiveness and research.
The existence of such a large number of web sites dedicated to history in Italy, require us all to consider methods of evaluating the quality of these sites, their standards and the correctness of their content (Manifesto for Research in History on Internet).

Middle Ages on the web in Italy, Britain and USA:
a survey, a prospective
The WWW has become one of the most powerful tools for study and research in many areas, including the Middle Ages, and its influence continues to grow. There are numerous sites in this area, and this paper aims at presenting and comparing the quality of Internet publication in Italy, Britain and USA. It will be a survey, a prospective. It will focus on selected sites. In particular, I shall be looking at Medieval Manuscript Studies and related pages, hoping to open a discussion. During the last year the study of the Italian web has undergone a major development. Important universities' web sites have appeared, but often projects are based on self-supported and non-affiliated individuals. The Medioevo Italiano Project tried to respond to the lack of interest shown by scholars. By contrast, British and American web site have a long-established tradition of publishing images, data and secondary sources, for they consider the use of Internet publication an essential tool in teaching. The paper presents a detailed assessment of this situation, searching for answers to the question of how to improve and promote the Medieval studies on the web in Italy.
