This page lists all publication outputs derived from the research project SICILYWAR. Amongst them, the contribution on Bovio Marconi and Griffo represents an essential theoretical approach to the study of networks and authorities in Sicily during World War 2. It defines the concept of the ‘4-level’ system which included: 1) state (Ministry of National Education, Ministry of War); 2) region (safeguarding authorities and superintendencies); 3) local (prefects, police forces, etc.); 4) the AMGOT acting a supranational body.
The forthcoming monograph CODENAME SICILYWAR, a thorough analysis of archaeology at risk in Sicily during the war, will be fully open-access and include all records traced in archives, organised in thematic appendices and ordered in chronological order.
