A heritage to be enhanced

By Anna Berlino

Cultural heritage is a set of monuments, buildings, works, local traditions, related to the territory that gave rise to it, and as such it represents the wealth of a country both culturally and economically, intended for common enjoyment. The notion of "heritage" has its roots in the Latin language: with the term patrimonium, in fact, reference was made to the wealth that was inherited by the father of the family. Already in Roman times there was an interest in the concept of heritage protection, and there were several illustrious figures who dealt with this task over the centuries, including Petrarch and Raphael Sanzio. This volume aims to present a brief review of some of the archaeological areas in Calabria dating back to prehistoric, Greek and Roman times so as to spread awareness of their existence and trigger awareness in the individual. The concept of heritage is also treated in a broad sense, starting from its origin and briefly tracing the stages that later contributed to the enactment of the legislative basis that protects cultural heritage today.
