Cultura e patrimonio immateriale nelle definizioni istituzionali della SNAI e nell’area dei Sicani

Culture and heritage are a crucial component in the development policies for the inner areas. For this reason, this article analyzes its place within the National Strategy for the Inner Areas (SNAI), from the institutional definitions at a national level and at the scale of the Sicani intervention area. With an exploratory approach, this document aims to find out the way in which culture is dealt with in the framework of the promotion of tourism and local productive economies; the definitions of the types of heritage that are favored; and to analyze the place of intangible heritage and cultural festive events in the institutional framework.
