I BENI CULTURALI TRA RICERCA TUTELA VALORIZZAZIONE E GESTIONE

Abstract

The cultural heritage of Italy is so widespread that it can not be managed bythe State alone. We must look at the heritage with the eyes of citizens, without giving upa single inch on the role of technical and professional skills. Research, protection,enhancement and management are four very different things, that go, however, hand inhand: because the research helps us understand the meaning of things; the protection tellsus how to safeguard them; enhancement tells us how to preserve the sense of the heritagedisseminating its social perception; the management tells us how to keep doing it.
