Il saggio ricostruisce le origini e gli sviluppi della normativa in materia di tutela del patrimonio culturale nella penisola italiana, a partire dalla Roma imperiale. Snodo fondamentale furono i secc. XV-XVII che videro i pontefici, con editti e bolle, invitare i cittadini a preservare gli edifici antichi; la normativa pontificia fu un modello per la maggior parte degli stati italiani di Antico Regime. Il XIX secolo, in conseguenza della tragica spoliazione compiuta da Napoleone, si segnala per una ripresa ed un irrobustimento della legislazione a salvaguardia dei beni culturali, che culminò nell’Editto Pacca (1820). Il contributo si conclude con un’analisi delle prime normative italiane successive all’unità, culminanti nella legge 1089 del 1939.
