La tutela del patrimonio culturale in Algeria

The third volume of the collection of studies Mediterraneum. Protection and exploitation of cultural and environmental Patrimony focuses on questions about protection of cultural heritage of Algeria, the largest State of Maghreb and one of the richest in Africa from a historical and cultural point of view, which underwent the loss of a large part of its historical memory because of colonialism, civil wars, natural calamities and politico-economical instability.
The volume, edited by Fabio Maniscalco, is divided into three sections: the first one analyses the administrative organisation, rules and general questions about protection of cultural heritage in Algeria; the second one presents some practical experiences concerning protection and management of Algerian cultural heritage; the third one includes the main texts of law about protection of cultural heritage, with implicit reference to the whole north-African context.
Contributions by S. Abdulac, A. Di Tolla, F. Maniscalco, A. Misiani and L. Serra.
