Tangible recognition

Your contribution will not remain anonymous.

The mission is to preserve the dialect. In recognition, every Guardian will be able to download a free personal volume telling the story of what they have preserved, validated and made available to the community.

Two books, one mission

AI Calabria recognises contributors and returns the heritage to every municipality.

The Guardian’s Book tells their personal story. Municipality books instead collect the validated words, phrases and pronunciations of each territory.

Explore all 404 municipality books

Every preserved entry leaves a trace in the municipality’s book and in the journey of the person who safeguarded it.

Frequently asked questions

Personal recognition and municipal books

What is AI Calabria’s Guardian Book?

It is a personal recognition documenting validated contributions, territories, specialisations and the journey built by the participant.

Does the personal volume replace the municipal books?

No. Municipal books tell the story of a territory’s heritage; the Guardian Book recognises the work of the individual.

Where can I see all the municipal books?

AI Calabria’s library contains the books of all 404 municipalities, including those still waiting for their first voice.
