The Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (MIBACT) The Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (MIBACT) has extensive experience and internationally recognized expertise in the field of cultural heritage. The Italian cultural heritage includes over 3400 museums, 2100 archaeological areas and 49 UNESCO sites. The Italian monumental heritage has determined the development of a complex and pervasive system for the protection and management of cultural heritage. The MiBACT, while being a central entity from the institutional viewpoint, operates at the national level in close cooperation with the social, cultural, economic and productive territorial stakeholders. The Italian model for cultural heritage, of which the MiBACT is the leading actor, embodies a comprehensive and holistic approach whereby protection, prevention, valorization and promotion of national heritage are tools for the administration and development of the territory.
The MiBACT is also responsible for the development and competitiveness of tourism, tracing general guidelines, principles and objectives for the enhancement and competitive development of the national tourism system, implementing initiatives for the tourism sector, planning and managing European Union structural funds.

  The Tuscany systemAccording
to the Italian Constitution, the Italian Republic is formed by
Municipalities, Provinces, Regions and the State. The local public
institutions are autonomous, have their own Statutes, their own power
and functions, their own official resources. The general principles
established by the Constitution to ascertain the different functions of
the institutions that form the Republic are those of subsidiarity (the
closeness of the institution to the citizens), differentiation (the
characteristic of each institution to operate in its own specific
sector), adequacy (the capability of an institution to be up to its
assignments and functions).
The Region of Tuscany, the Province of
Florence and the Municipality of Florence all partake in the partnership
for this Twinning. Among their diverse and numerous aims and purposes,
particularly relevant for the present project are, respectively:
- Region of Tuscany
- protection and promotion of historical and artistic heritage and of landscape
- tourism promotion and regulation
- ensuring
economic development and creating a context helping competitiveness,
founded on innovation, research and education, respecting the principles
of social cohesion and environmental sustainability

general strategic principles expressed by the regional government
- protection and promotion of the local cultural heritage
