Introduction

The Luiss Cultural Heritage Initiative (LCHI) is a project aimed at developing new ideas for policies in cultural heritage sectors ranging from traditional food and wine and associated services to fashion, cinema and art. These sectors offer opportunities for growth and development both to firms and not for profit organisations such as museums and foundations.

They are part of Creative and Cultural industries that are becoming increasingly central to policy-making in Europe. They have witnessed a significant rise in their importance in recent years as their direct economic value is growing at the European level as well as their capacity to generate indirect economic value through their effects on related sectors such as tourism, transport and hotels and other forms of short-term accommodation. 

Finally, the importance of new technologies applied to heritage goods and services (digitalisation of cultural goods, innovative techniques for exploiting and protecting these goods) is also increasing.

The economic importance of cultural heritage sectors for Europe’s future – in economic, political, social and symbolic terms - was seen in the Covid crisis and has been recognised both at the national level with the PNRR, and at the EU level with the Next Generation EU programme.
