The main reason for such a choice lies in the need to give substance to a treatment that examines in detail the concept of cultural property, its value and, above all, the need to protect its conservation for future reference. Italy is a country that boasts important cultural traditions, among the most important on the planet, because it has had the opportunity to host very ancient civilizations in a historical journey that goes through all the periods of our history. It starts from prehistory, to Italic civilizations, to get to Greek civilization and then to Roman civilization and other periods of great splendor, such as the Renaissance, which was a golden age for the production of cultural goods, certainly among the most remarkable in the world.

The cultural good

Cultural heritage thus becomes the product of human ingenuity and in particular of Italian ingenuity, with the function of transmitting the past to future generations, permeating the spirit of civilization with its presence, and allowing those who will come after us to have models and lifestyles in the most varied fields of art and civilization in order to better plan the future. It is therefore a question of drawing inspiration from the past to live the present and plan for the future. In this way the cultural asset – as a testimony of the past – becomes a very important propulsive tool for the development of peoples as well as for improving and refining the intellect, also in order to favor progress in the best way.

Protect cultural heritage

It must therefore be said that protecting cultural heritage and enhancing it does not only mean preserving objects in museums or enclosing monuments of the past but it means immersing ourselves in the spirit of our ancestors, in a mentality rich in culture and creativity, which allows us to recognize and recognize ourselves in a tradition. that made a civilization great.

Cultural identity

To root a cultural identity that can somehow be transferred to posterity. This is the main purpose of the protection and enhancement of cultural heritage. It is evident that in this path there are fortunate countries that can boast the possession of a large amount of cultural heritage, one of these is Italy, and countries that, having no important evidence of their past, do without it, even if they tend to in any case to constitute a patrimony of cultural assets through the acquisition of assets from other countries. The habit of collecting testimonies of the past with the intention of preserving them has its roots in the most ancient times. But even before the mere purpose of collecting them, that of collecting them perhaps constitutes an anthropological phenomenon aimed at preserving the roots of a people with the objects and relics of their ancestors, with a costume that dates back to the mists of time and even to prehistoric times.
