The UNESCO Chair on Intangible Cultural Heritage and Comparative Law participated, in collaboration with the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, in the project promoted by the Campania Region with the aim of studying, knowing and inventorying the Campania cultural heritage.

In this context, Unitelma Sapienza University, through its UNESCO Chair, has carried out a project dedicated to the Culture of Neapolitan Espresso Coffee. The project gave rise to the synthesis conference entitled “Intangible cultural heritage between ritual and sociality“, held on 2 December 2019, with discussion sessions attended by international teachers and experts on the issues of the legal protection of intangible cultural heritage. The Project ended on 1 March 2020.

On 19 September 2026, as part of the 14th edition of the cultural festival Un Castello all’Orizzonte, Castello di Postignano hosted the public event “Living the Village: Protection, Safeguarding and Enhancement”, organised in collaboration with the UNESCO Chair on Intangible Cultural Heritage and Comparative Law at UnitelmaSapienza.

The event, coordinated by Prof. Pier Luigi Petrillo, Chair Holder of the UNESCO Chair, provided an opportunity to reflect on the role of historic villages as living heritage, focusing on the challenges of their protection and safeguarding and on strategies capable of linking heritage, local communities and sustainable territorial development.

The initiative formed part of Un Castello all’Orizzonte, the annual cultural programme hosted in the village of Postignano, bringing together events dedicated to culture, music, art and public debate.
