The paper examines, in the first place, the relation between the cultural immaterial endowment (made up of theoretical knowledge, know-how, practice, etc. - Art.2 of the 2003 UNESCO Convention) and the Italian Code of the cultural and landscape heritage, pointing out that, according to the Code, only “material” assets, i.e. quae tangi possunt (articles 2,10 and 11) belong to the cultural heritage subject to protection and enhancement. However, the difference between immaterial cultural heritage and cultural assets does not prevent considering, in accordance with the Code, that the former be relevant for the protection and endowment of the latter (Articles 3 and 6). Secondly, the paper discusses the competences of the State and the Regions regarding the immaterial cultural heritage and the important role that non-profit private agents may play with respect to the principles of horizontal subsidiarity and public-private partnership. The final section of the paper examines the role that the Great Venetian Schools may perform for the safeguard of the cultural heritage of Venice – be that material or immaterial – in complete accordance with the purposes spelled out in their respective Statutes and in continuity with the activities carried out in the course of their history.

Abstract
The paper examines, in the first place, the relation between the cultural immaterial endowment (made up of theoretical knowledge, know-how, practice, etc. - Art.2 of the 2003 UNESCO Convention) and the Italian Code of the cultural and landscape heritage, pointing out that, according to the Code, only “material” assets, i.e. quae tangi possunt (articles 2,10 and 11) belong to the cultural heritage subject to protection and enhancement. However, the difference between immaterial cultural heritage and cultural assets does not prevent considering, in accordance with the Code, that the former be relevant for the protection and endowment of the latter (Articles 3 and 6). Secondly, the paper discusses the competences of the State and the Regions regarding the immaterial cultural heritage and the important role that non-profit private agents may play with respect to the principles of horizontal subsidiarity and public-private partnership. The final section of the paper examines the role that the Great Venetian Schools may perform for the safeguard of the cultural heritage of Venice – be that material or immaterial – in complete accordance with the purposes spelled out in their respective Statutes and in continuity with the activities carried out in the course of their history.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
