Abstract

[The BES project (BES is an acronym for “equitable and sustainable well-being”) was started in Italy in 2011 by Istat and CNEL, largely building on the work of the Stiglitz Commission (2008–2009), and gathering contributions from a wide range of civil society Organizations. A first Report on “BES in Italy” was published in 2013. “Landscape and Cultural Heritage” is one of the 12 domains of well-being identified by the Project, additional to those proposed by the Stiglitz Commission. Landscape and heritage are considered as common goods of a non-renewable nature, whose preservation is deemed relevant to well-being – both for the individuals (subjective aspects), and for the society as a whole (objective aspects). Heritage and landscape conservation issues assume, in Italy, a special relevance in relation to some crucial aspects of the societal performance, such as the care for public assets and the management of conflicts between private and public interest.]
