Learning objectives
In this academic journey, we will explore the legal foundations that regulate the protection, conservation, and management of cultural heritage. The primary goal will be to acquire a solid understanding of the basic concepts of both administrative law and the more specific regulations governing cultural heritage.
Expected learning outcomes
Through the study of regulations and the analysis of some judicial rulings, students will learn the basic legal terminology, acquiring the ability to express themselves with the specific technical vocabulary of the discipline. A basic critical competence will also be acquired, allowing them to correlate the general institutions of administrative law with the institutions provided by the specific discipline of cultural heritage. At the end of the course, students will have the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to concrete cases of low difficulty.
