Crowdfunding del patrimonio culturale immateriale per lo sviluppo territoriale: un quadro sperimentale per le aree interne italiane

The research purpose is to present a conceptual framework for the design of territorial development strategies based on the use of crowdsourcing technologies oriented toward the enhancement of intangible heritage in the context of Italy's Inner Areas defined by a policy framework oriented toward the territorial development of marginal areas. In this perspective, the paper aims to provide the necessary background information for the development of such strategies, examining the technological aspects, a definition of the concept of intangible heritage, the application of a socially innovative strategy for marginal territories, and a framework of strategic actions needed to implement solutions capable of involving local communities and ensuring a widespread redistribution of benefits in the development of such technologies. The paper aims to bridge the gap between different debates: technological innovation, intangible heritage enhancement, and territorial development based on socially innovative strategies, providing key information for experts and scholars who intend to address these topics or develop projects based on these tools and objectives.
