Lisa Pigozzi is a passionate research fellow in ecomuseums with a strong background in tourism. She has a Degree in Tourism Science (2014), and a Master Degree in Tourism and Local Development (2016), with an experimental thesis project in Cuba, where she worked with the Instituto de Ecología y Sistemática of Havana for proposing the implementation of an ecomuseum in Viñales Valley (Pinar del Rio). She has always been immersed and fascinated in mixing cultures, and she has expertise in destination promotion, thanks to the work in a dynamic travel-experiences-startup. There, she was responsible for hunting and developing off-track activities in Italy (and around the world) for linking locals with curious travellers, and promoting territorial excellences. She is continuing her studies and research in ecomuseums, and she is a research fellow at Sociology and Social Research Department at Milan Bicocca University, with the EcoHeritage Project [ERASMUS + KA 2020-1-ES01-KA204- 082769]. The project aims to raise awareness of ecomuseums as a participatory tool for involving local communities in sustainable heritage and territory management. She is a PhD student in Museology, at Lusofona University (Lisbon), with research grant UNESCO-ULHT Chair “Education, Citizenship and Cultural Diversity'' (Lusófona University - ULHT, 2021-2024), where she is part of different study groups (MINA-Museología Insurgente en Nuestra América; LabSe - Laboratorio de Socio-expografia; Educación e Paulo Freire). Her studies and research interests focus on the role of ecomuseums in local development, and how ecomuseums can foster responsible tourism.
