Abstract
This volume offers an academic homage to Professor Gianclaudio Macchiarella and is at the same time a gathering of close friends and colleagues in memory of a Maestro and a friend. 
A year after his death, the intention here is to bear witness to the scholar in all his versatility and complexity, with even informal tones that are befitting of a great affection: that of colleagues and friends who collaborated and participated in his missions, who clashed and confronted with him, and shared fragments of life, important for their training and growth. 
The title chosen for the volume 'A mari usque ad mare' is intended to evoke the spatial extent of the interventions of the authors who took part in this publication. A breadth that is a reflection of Gianclaudio Macchiarella's studies, which from an initial interest in the Italian early Middle Ages, then turned to the Christians of the East, then Islamic art and architecture, the restoration and preservation of cultural heritage, and finally, in recent years, India and the Balkans.
