AREAS OF INTEREST

MAIN10ANCE is an ambitious project of research, education, promotion and information that looks at cultural heritage from a new perspective in order to learn from symbolic locations of our country and history, combining traditional and innovative technical solutions to forge best practices in management, conservation and maintenance.

The project is designed to create a network for the study and diffusion of tools for crime prevention, with particular emphasis on organised crime and solutions offered by recent European legislation.

The network includes the University of Mannheim (Germany), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Porto (Portugal).

Prevention measures, veering between penal law (substantive and trial) and administrative regulations, are deft tools, although less reliable than a criminal trial, able to strike the financial interests of organised criminal networks.
