Since May 2020 the Civic Museum of Modena has hosted a Wikipedian in Residence, Niccolò "Jaqen" Caranti, as a part of a cooperation with Wikimedia Italia. The experience has recently come to its natural end: because of the ongoing pandemic the residency has unfortunately been only virtual, but the results were great nonetheless! As of April 2021 among the other things 361 images have been uploaded on Wikimedia Commons and 31 articles were created or improved on Italian Wikipedia. Many members of the staff have learned how to contribute, and they are willing to continue to do so. And hopefully it will soon be possibile for the Museum to host a live edit-a-thon!
