Abstract (in English)

Finding, knowing and defining the spirit of a place has always been a challenge for the men of culture since the time of the Roman Empire: “the Genius Locis”. This essay tries to tackle this complex and cunning subject. Because this is the first time someone tries to tackle it in our realm or environment, I will consider of great value any suggestions regarding its focus, methodology and conclusion.
