Abstract

The essay moves around the idea that each consideration of images and storytelling of culture (and museums in particular) in a legal system is in fact a consideration of the relationship between form of State and freedom of individual creation, even if law and creativity move at different speed, with different dynamics, different logics. It also has into consideration how aphasic a law scholar can be in this process, given its bound with written rules, and the limited space of their interpretation. From this gap, this diversity, the essay moves to ponder how the legislators have therefore focused their attention on the objects of culture more than on the subjects themselves (museums, but also libraries, archives) showing how this approach has originated and evolved through the decades with a different definition of cultural heritage and cultural goods, and specially which were the different sensibilities that animated the debate in writing the democratic Constitution of 1948. What results more than 70 years later is a story of broken promises, missed opportunities and an unclear share of autonomy and an uncertain identity of museums, in a perspective that opens for the future to many different (and not all positive) paths.
