UNESCO’s tangible and intangible cultural heritage: Sustainable development perspectives

A significant finding of this study is the identification and development of the relationship between tangible and intangible heritage as essential, interconnected resources for sustainable development. The research examines two illustrative UNESCO application paths: the recognition of The Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato as a Cultural Landscape of World Heritage under the 1972 Convention, and the inscription of The Celebration of Celestinian Forgiveness in the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage under the 2003 Convention. By analyzing these case studies, the study advances an interdisciplinary reflection on safeguarding, enhancing, and increasing accessibility of cultural heritage. It derives insights into living within organic landscapes, collective identities, inclusive places, sociability, communicative restitution, participatory management, and integrated sustainability.
