A clear, updated picture on how Heritage is managed in Italy today in the light of the new, long-awaited laws and reforms enacted over the past decade. The first chapters provide a valuable synthesis, followed by a useful ABC guide for museums on the various aspects covered by the reform; from preservation to concessions and exhibitions to publications. In her Politiche e poietiche per l’arte (Milan, Electa, 2002) the author had already drawn on her invaluable expertise, honed in Electa’s Museums and Heritage department, to analyse and illustrate through case histories the political and legal developments that were fuelling the debate on how to manage and enhance Italy’s cultural heritage through the application of the so-called Ronchey law, later incorporated with little or no modification into the Heritage Code. The Ronchey law and its application 13 years on.
