AB In 1316 the town-republic of Sassari issued its ‘Statuti’, acollection of regulations describing the city’s legal and administrativematters. Although the contents of the document vividly present manytraits of the city’s XIV century’s life, the original form in which it cameto us – in Latin and vernacular Sardinian – make it very inaccessible tothe general public. In the 700’s anniversary of the Statuti the localHistoric Archives started a vast dissemination project involving us onthe grounds of our expertise in communication design.Over the following year our research unit was engaged in theproduction of an experimental informative platform in which variousartifacts – three animated short films, an illustrated booklet, and awebsite, among the others – explore ways to enhance the degree ofaccessibility of such an important historical account to the generalpublic.A key step along this process was the understanding that as differentusers have varying abilities in processing the available information, toprovide actual access to it implies varying degrees of interpretation ofthe text per se, which clearly raises questions of historical accuracy.This brought to the development of a model in which a series ofartifacts based on various degrees of ‘proximity’ – and therefore ofinterpretation – to the original text, can represent different accesspoints for the understanding of an otherwise very inaccessible text.
