No full textThe Umbria Region has for a long time initiated an activity of knowledge and enhancement of sites of industrial archaeology, recognizing its importance for culture and the development of the territory and this work was also highlighted by the publication of several volumes in the series «Regional Catalog of Cultural Heritage of Umbria».
The verification of the consistency of the documentary heritage related to industrial archaeology in the region was the subject of an in-depth study carried out with the scientific collaboration of the Italian Association for Industrial Archaeological Heritage (AIPAI). The cooperation permitted to build a systematic database of the knowledge acquired so far, an essential prerequisite for designing and carrying out activities for the protection, conservation, and enhancement of this heritage. The report can be consulted on the institutional website (http://www.regione.umbria.it/...). At the same time, thanks to the systematization of studies and research carried out to date, the paper and digital archive of the documentary heritage of industrial archaeology of the Umbria Region is open to public viewing.
The scientific collaboration with AIPAI, moreover, has allowed continuing the activity of updating the database, and the identification of possible itineraries of industrial archaeology, real or virtual, for scholars and citizens accessible through the regional portal www.umbriacultura.it
Il sistema dei beni culturali in Italia
No full textIl capitolo muove dalla definizione di bene culturale come “ogni testimonianza materiale avente valore di civiltà”, che implica un profondo cambiamento dei criteri di individuazione e dei metodi di gestione del patrimonio culturale.
Questa comporta anzitutto un’enorme estensione di campo, ricomprendendo nel patrimonio culturale tipologie di beni materiali in passato non considerate, i beni immateriali e le conoscenze tacitamente trasmesse in un luogo da una generazione all’altra, nonché il paesaggio, bene collettivo esteso a tutto il territorio. Altresì tale nozione di bene culturale postula un impianto sistemico e funzionalista, riconducendo il valore dei beni culturali alle relazioni reciproche e con l’ambiente storico e geografico a cui appartengono e alla loro originaria funzione, ossia alla vasta gamma di significati connessi alle ragioni di pratica utilità alle quali si deve la loro realizzazione.
Quanto alla gestione di tale patrimonio, la tutela, da unica funzione statale riconosciuta nella legislazione italiana fino al 1998, viene ad essere concepita come presupposto e conseguenza della valorizzazione. Quest’ultima, incardinata sul concetto di valore quale capacità di soddisfare bisogni materiali e immateriali generando utilità, implica con riferimento ai beni culturali pubblici la creazione di valore sociale, esternalità positive immateriali e – compatibilmente con esse – materiali. Per conseguire tutto il valore possibile occorre, pertanto, superare un’offerta culturale di tipo posizionale vincolata da un approccio fordista, innovando anzitutto le politiche di prodotto e, segnatamente, il servizio core connesso alla valorizzazione, che si sostanzia nella comunicazione delle informazioni storiche contenute nel patrimonio. Altresì importante risulta favorire un processo di valorizzazione partecipativo, fondato sulla sinergia tra pubbliche istituzioni, cittadini privati e associazioni (comunità di eredità).
A conclusione del capitolo verrà delineato il panorama delle strutture espositive musealizzate italiane, descrivendone quantità e tipologie, localizzazione, titolo proprietario, addetti, visitatori e principali servizi
Meeting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in museum evaluation systems. The case of the Italian National Museum System (NMS)
Full text linkPurpose of the paper: This paper aims to investigate if, how and to what extent the Italian National Museum System (NMS) currently includes sustainability in its evaluation system.
Methodology: After discussing the scientific literature on sustainability in management and museum studies, the research performs a quali-quantitative comparative analysis to verify the degree of inclusion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 2015 in the Uniform Quality Levels for Museums (UQLMs) set up in Italy to implement the NMS.
Findings: The research results show that some sustainability dimensions are more relevant in the Italian museum evaluation system than others, highlighting the importance of relationships with external stakeholders and the local context.
Practical implications: The research identifies possible areas for improvement so that the principles and objectives of sustainability can be incorporated in the NMS. It also provides policymakers and museum managers with suggestions for implementing them.
Research limitation: The research only examines UQLMs. Further investigation should verify the current level of the sustainable approach in museum management by analyzing the best practices and activities of museums participating in the NMS.
Originality of the paper: Adding to the scientific literature on museum sustainability, this paper investigates the relationship between culture and sustainability beyond the triple bottom line approach, by considering sustainability to be an integral component of quality and performance measurement in museums. The research also highlights the need for a more holistic approach involving external stakeholders and integrating other measurement tools
Musei di fabbricerie e musei ecclesiastici per il territorio e le comunità locali: due casi di studio
No full textA Service-Based Systems View of Cultural Heritage
No full texthe paper draws attention to an anthropological, rather than idealistic, concept of culture to overcome a traditional ‘Goods-Dominant’ logic, which is especially persistent in Italy and limits the use of cultural heritage, and to broaden the range of value and enhance the merit quality that can be found within the current international vision of cultural heritage as service. To this aims, it proposes a conceptual framework that, through the lens of the Viable Systems Approach, integrates the Service-Dominant logic, the Many-to-many and the Service Science proposals for addressing the change in perspective from a reductionist, goods-based to a servicebased systems management approach. On the basis of this integrated perspective, synthesis schemes are devised to represent the evolutionary pathway that has led to a service logic and a cultural heritage territorial system governance model, which can be adopted to pursue the enhancement of Italian cultural heritage and the valorization of its peculiaritie
The electricity market in its delicate balance between profit and public utilities: a proposal in a systemic view
No full textAbstract
The article addresses the broad theme of the related party transactions (RPTs) and criteria for a related party definition, focusing on problems affecting the utilities to the reforms of privatization and regulation of their markets and considering in particular the field of electricity. These aspects are in fact problems of significant impact on strategic, organizational and managerial.
The study has different purposes: (a) to shed light on a topic, that, despite its potential impact, has not yet deserved great attention in governance studies; (b) to stress possible inconsistencies in the most popular theories in the literature regarding RPTs (conflict of interests and efficient transaction), both, to some extent, ideologically biased and unable to offer a proper picture of these heterogeneous dealings; (c) to suggest a more balanced and pragmatic approach, less influenced by a suspicious attitude (typical of the conflict of interests theory), possibly more consistent with their economic rationale (as suggested by the efficient transactions hypothesis) as well as social fac-tors and governance practices.
To this end the study is largely based on literature review and on the analysis of the characters that in the past and today have characterized the Italian electricity sector

Corporate museums as heritage vehicles: a comparative analysis between family and non-family businesses
Full text linkThe heritage marketing strategy often calls for the employment of a corporate museum to represent the firm’s history in the eyes of internal and external observers. However, to date there has been no attempt to identify the distinctive values underlying the use of corporate museums by family firms – as opposed to non-family firms – for nurturing customers’ understanding and appreciation of the company and its products. This paper aims to address this gap and investigate the identity values that drive the establishment of corporate museums by family firms and non-family firms. Using a comparative case-study (CCS) approach, the paper examines the values underlying two examples of corporate museums promoted by two different firms, one with a high level and one with a low level of family control. The study reveals differing distinctive values between family and non-family corporate museums
