History, historiography, archaeology, philosophy and history of religions: these are the areas of the renewed Hesperia. Studi sulla grecita in Occidente. The arduous goal is to continue the prestigious tradition of studies of the journal, founded in 1990 by Lorenzo Braccesi, taking advantage of the innovative tools that characterize today's ancient world study disciplines. The investigation of figures related to Greekness in the West, the identification of Eastern presences in the Western regions through epigraphic evidence and the archaeological contexts in the area of Gulf of Taranto in the perspective of cultural interaction will be discussed in the first issue of the new series.
