CULTURAL HERITAGE LEGISLATION
Educational objectives
The course aims to introduce students to the fundamentals of cultural heritage law, enabling them to
understand the institutions provided by current legislation to protect the cultural heritage of the Nation.
Specific attention will also be paid to the institutions that current legislation makes available to the Ministry
and other public bodies responsible for enhancing such cultural heritage, to understand the dynamics that can
lead to optimal management of museums, archaeological sites and other places of culture.

Expected learning outcomes. At the end of the course, students will have to:
1) Know and understand the functioning of the institutions provided by current legislation in order to
adequately protect and enhance the cultural heritage of the Nation.
2) Know some of the events in which these institutions have been applied, in order to allow an ability to
understand the topics covered by the teaching not limited to the theoretical approach of the issues but also
extended to the applicative implications.
3) Have acquired a certain autonomy of judgment, being able to make adequate judgments and evaluations
on the cases submitted to his/her study.

4) Have developed communication and expository skills, with the acquisition of the relevant technical legal
language.
5) Have demonstrated the ability to learn even in a rather technical subject, which fits into the course of
studies in the field of cultural heritage in an organic way even if it does not specifically relate to the artistic,
archaeological and literary subjects that predominantly characterize it.
