metadata.value: This article is intended to develop the topic of the relationship between UNESCO sites owned by the
  Italian state and the profiles of their profitability and sustainability. If it is true that a common characteristic
  of Italian (and not only) UNESCO sites is the heterogeneity of the legal titles of ownership of
  such objects, then at the same time, for UNESCO sites belonging to the Italian state (25 out of 55:
  45,55 %), the heterogeneity of management models is added to the multiplicity of legal regimes. In
  this case, the plurality of these properties affects both the valorization of the object and the quality
  of its management. The negative consequences of the fragmentation of the management of a
  UNESCO state site can be grouped as follows: 1) differences in recruitment approaches; 2) differences
  in management models; 3) qualitative differences in work experience; 4) differences in
  economic profitability; 5) differences in the accounting system. If such diversity is hardly understandable
  even when objects belong to different institutions, it is even less understandable when
  they belong to the state. The consequence of the absolute heterogeneity of the legal and organizational
  framework is the heterogeneity of economic results. The gap is huge and unacceptable:
  The Etruscan tombs of Tarquinia and Cerveteri bring in the following revenue: € 38 964,84 (2018)
  and € 57 127,00 (2019). At the same time, the income of the Archaeological Park Colosseum is:
  € 46 347 249,57 (2018) and € 48 465 096,71 (2019). If it is true that the award of UNESCO site status
  to a cultural monument is independent, as it should be, of its economic capabilities, then it is also
  true that increasing its economic profitability contributes to the achievement of the objectives of
  the UNESCO Convention: the protection and valorization of the cultural heritage object. Hence it is
  necessary to conduct autonomous financial reporting of UNESCO sites, which is currently absent
  in many state-owned UNESCO sites or they do not have their own accounting and financial autonomy.
  In conclusion, the topic of the fragmentation of ownership of the 55 Italian UNESCO sites
  and its impact on governance and financial returns allows us to explore the actual attention that the
  national legal system actually attaches to UNESCO sites, that is, the importance that, in addition to
  official declarations, UNESCO sites have in the domestic legal system.
