Aims & Scope

Il Capitale culturale - Studies on the Value of Cultural Heritage is the Journal promoted by the Division of Cultural Heritage of the University of Macerata, which brings together different disciplinary skills (archaeology, archival science, law, business management, information science, museology, restoration, history, art history), with the common goal of implementing studies, research and planning activities for enhancing cultural heritage.

The journal was created to provide a field of discussion on the issue of integrated conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage among scholars in different disciplines.

The journal is not only aimed at academic partners, but also strives to meet the needs of both public and private individuals, operating in the management of cultural heritage at different national and international levels, aiming to offer them innovative and effective models.

The basic assumption is that, especially in the Age of Knowledge, Culture is a fundamental asset in enhancing citizens’ tangible and intangible quality of life and Italian development.

Moreover, this objective is the commitment of the Constitution of the Italian Republic, which states that cultural heritage should be enhanced to improve citizens' lives (articles 3 and 9) since 1948, and has explicitly provided the function of 'valorizzazione' (enhancement) since 2001.

In particular, it is necessary to know and communicate the potential value that is inherent to cultural goods and therefore to manage cultural organizations with this mission in order to meet the broader social and market demand.

In this way we can succeed in not disappointing the right to culture, which is guaranteed by the constitution, to create - as it is right and possible - social and market value for communities, individuals, territories and made in Italy products, and finally to ensure the survival of the 'cultural capital'.
