ABSTRACT

This paper highlights the importance of cooperative programs and agreements for the Promotion of Cultural

Heritage – as detailed in Article 112 of the Code of Cultural Heritage and of Landscape (Italian Legislative

Decree no. 42/2004) – as a way to ensure the protection and enhancement of an archaeological park.

Because of the numerous parties involved in the management of these sites, the improvement agreement is an

essential tool that has to be carefully designed by taking account of the characteristics of the archaeological

park.

Two case studies are presented; the first one examines an agreement that is already being carried out at the

“Parco Archeologico di Baratti e Populonia”, while the second one describes a protocol for the “Parco

ArcheologicodiCortona”whichhasnotbeenfullydefinedyet.Inbothcases,theagreementdefinestheroles

and the duties of the institutions that are in charge of the maintenance and development of the

archaeologicalpark.
