VALUING THE RELIGIOUS CULTURAL HERITAGE - THE WAY TOWARDS AN EUROPEAN CULTURAL DIPLOMACION

Summary/Abstract: In a world where dialogues and meetings between different cultures are certainly daily, but not always fruitful, it is essential to understand that the intrinsic nature of religious and sacred cultural heritage must have the opportunity to compare different authenticity, different meanings of spirituality, as well as knowing how to share knowledge and based on it, to build human values based on mutual respect, inclusivity and dialogue between communities.The interculturality inherent in the religious cultural heritage thus intends to gather all the knowledge related to it and to put theology, through its multiple disciplines, the sciences of art and architecture, as well as the economic environment and the multiple cultural aspects that intervene in the individual contexts of the community. Moreover, in a rapidly changing world, this rich religious and cultural heritage plays an important role in the "cultural diplomacy" in which the centrality of the individual is fundamental and together with it the result of his activity.These premises are important in trying to identify together a path to knowledge and improvement of religious cultural heritage, which is also sustainable in terms of conservation, functional reconversion and management issues, as shown by the numerous monumental complexes that characterize cities worldwide.
