Abstract

The development of efficient preventive and planned maintenance's plans, about ′coherent groups′ of built Heritage (castles, villas, churches, monumental cemeteries, etc.), is becoming increasingly necessary. Ecclesiastic Heritage represents a large share of built cultural assets, that shows a growing difficulty of management, because of the substantial number of oratories, chapels, parish churches, widespread on Italian territory and the inadequate available resources. They belong to the ′minor′ cultural heritage, the most weak category in term of preservation: they have less visibility and possibility to receive public funding. In contrast to civil architecture, both popular (hamlets, rural villages) and noble (castles, villas), the ecclesiastical built Heritage cannot often easily be reused with another destination and this could lead to a scarcity of interest in it. Monumental cemeteries also are at risk, because they present critical situations like the lack of heirs, who take care of graves, and employees not adequately educated in order to improve maintenance and preservation. However, their relation with historical, artistic and religious routes permits their valorisation. At last, if the lack of adequate funding does not facilitate restorations, the development of guidelines and the fulfilment of recommendations of maintenance represent a sustainable approach to the preservation of a large part of architectural heritage, reducing management costs and maintaining constant buildings performances.
