Abstract
Heritage and its preservation are, in a broad sense, aimed at conserving memory. This need arises from the tendency of modern societies to erase their own traces. In this way, the content of the concepts of heritage and preservation has changed in recent times: from heritage as a received legacy, or as national heritage, to heritage of a symbolic and identificatory nature; from inherited heritage to claimed heritage; from visible heritage to invisible heritage; from material heritage to intangible heritage; from state heritage to social, ethnic, and community heritage; and from restored heritage to preserved heritage.
On the other hand, efforts must be joined in order to safeguard regional heritage. Everyone’s voice must be heard, academic silences must come to an end, and permanent dialogue must be sought.
