The Faro Convention, the Legal European Environment and the Challenge of Commons in Cultural Heritage

crossmark logo

Abstract

The paper aims at investigating the role of CH, both tangible and intangible, from the perspective of ‘why’ it means for individuals and societies and whether, and eventually ‘how’, this approach has been incorporated into the international legal framework, also through the concept of commons. The analysis thus will focus on: a) the Faro Convention in its more interesting and innovative aspects; b) the extent that the Faro Convention exercises in a pan-European environment; c) the relationship among the concepts of CH and commons, common goods, common heritage of humankind in international law. At this stage, the reflection raises more questions than solutions; but this is a good starting to introduce an investigation that involves so relevant issues for the lives of individuals and collectivities.
