Abstract

The most radical change in human history, which occurred rapidly within a few decades, is leading to a loss not only of historical memory, but also areas of expertise and thus socio-economic alternatives to the new globalized society. At the same time, the holistic approach to the study of historical evidence has finally dealt a blow to the system of protection that uses inadequate tools. As practiced by the specialized Superintendencies, it is no longer able to deal with the unending proliferation of material data which is now considered useful for the understanding of our past. This dual crisis challenges the redesign of the system of protection implemented by Dario Franceschini, current Minister of the MiBACT (Ministry for Cultural Heritage, Activities and Tourism), launched with the Prime Minister’s Decree of August 2014 and continued with the new proposal of January 2016. Redesign, however, will not improve the current situation, without a real polycentricy able to involve a plurality of actors and to propose new meanings of the past for the man of the twenty-first century.
