LL. Campania (1983), there was a strong need within the international scientific community to move beyond the rigidly segmented approach of university education at the time. Thus, a multi-\/interdisciplinary approach immediately became the distinctive feature of the Center&#8217;s activities, summarized in the Esprit de Ravello. The Center thus became a privileged place for scientific debate between researchers from the humanities (archaeologists, historians, philologists, and literary scholars) and those from the &#8220;hard&#8221; sciences (volcanologists, seismologists, and chemists). Both were committed to integrating their respective research into the protection of cultural heritage.     <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
