Description
The Code of Cultural Heritage and Landscape (Legislative Decree No. 42 of 22 January 2004, Art. 106, paras. 1 and 2) states that it is the right of public territorial entities to grant individual applicants the use of the cultural assets they hold, provided that such use is compatible with the cultural purpose of the asset.
For the use of these assets, the concessionaire is required to pay a fee and a sum as security deposit. If the concessionaire is a public entity and the use is granted for the pursuit of its institutional purposes, the fee may be recognised and the security deposit may not be required. In the deed of concession, signed by the grantor and the concessionaire, the period for which the property is granted, the amount of the fee, the use for which it is made available, and all the conditions deemed necessary for the protection of the property itself are indicated.
