With the review, BTA - Telematic Art Bulletin, wants to reach all people interested in culture, in order to divulge art in a scientific way.
With Arte on line, the inter-universitarian network of history of art, BTA means to reach the Art Research Institution all over the world, by using Internet, in order to give a contribution to the use of the human and scientific resources.

BTA is divided into different areas of subject for practical reasons, however, it is possible to reach all of them quite quickly because of the hypertexual structure of the Bulletin.

BTA is complitely multimedial: it has high definition colored images as well as musical and vocal sounds or video spots.

Italian as the national language and english as the international language. Some articles are accepted if written in french, spanish or german only if the have the translation in italian and in english.
