The cultural heritage in private ownership,
which was declared extremely important by the
decision of the Ministry, must also be accessible
to the public: the method is coordinated by the
owner and the supervisory conservator (soprin-
tendente) (Article 104).
Use
Ministry, regional and local self-governments
can allocate the cultural heritage with their dis­

Fruition
The “Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code”
defines “cultural institutions” and “cultural spac­
es” intended for enjoying cultural heritage, such
as museums, libraries, archives, archaeological
sites and archaeological parks and monument
complexes. The Code therefore contains the of­
ficial definition of archaeological park, which is
“an area marked by important archaeological re­
mains with a coexistence of historical, landscape
or environmental importance and which is regu­
lated as an open-air museum” (Article 101).
In the framework of the mentioned “insti­
tutions and cultural spaces”, the state, regional
and local self-governments and all other public
institutions are obliged to ensure access to and
enjoyment of cultural heritage (Article 102).
Enrichment
Enrichment of cultural heritage means the im­
plementation of activities aimed at promoting
knowledge of cultural heritage and ensuring the
best conditions for public use of heritage and en­
joyment of it in accordance with its protection
(Article 6). Cultural heritage enrichment activi­
ties form the foundation and stable organization
of resources, structures and networks, or the dis­
and technical resources. Within the enrichment
be launched on a public or private initiative; en­
riching cultural heritage on a private initiative is
a socially beneficial activity (Article 111).
The state, regional and local self-govern­
ments ensure the enrichment of cultural herit­
age in the mentioned “institutions and cultural
spaces”. To this end, the state, through the min­
istry, regional and local self-government, con­
cludes agreements at the regional level for the
purpose of harmonization and timing of enrich­
ment activities, under which agreements private
entities may also participate. Agreements may,
with the consent of the interested parties, also
concern the cultural heritage of private owner­
ship. However, public entities may make spe­
cial arrangements with cultural societies active
in the promotion of cultural heritage knowledge
(Article 112).
The private property and cultural heritage
enrichment activities and structures can be used
on a private initiative by public support from the
state, regional and local self-governments (Arti­
cle 113).
The Ministry, regional and local self-gov­
ernments, together with universities, define uni­
form quality enrichment standards and regular­
ly update them; and the ministry adopts them by
decree. Entities that manage enrichment activi­
ties are obliged to respect accepted quality stand­
ards (Article 114).
Management
Heritage enrichment activities on a public initi­
ative can be managed directly or indirectly. Di­
rect management can be undertaken by internal
organizational structures with appropriate pro­
fessional, organizational, financial and adminis­
trative capabilities.
Indirect management: a) institutions, foun­
dations, societies, consortia, companies or oth­
er entities established by public administrations,
holders of cultural heritage, take over the man­
agement of these activities through direct award;
