Protecting and promote cultural heritage 

The economic value of cultural heritage is increasingly recognised, and it is often optimised through tourism. For this reason, monuments and the historic urban fabric represent major issues for growth. The development of cultural tourism should not occur at the expense of inhabitants or that of heritage conservation, but should rather contribute to improving their living conditions and the material as well as immaterial systems of property protection.
