In the course of the research some deeply problematic issues emerged. Its formulation intends to generate a debate about the conditions of the attribution of patrimonial value to certain cultural objects and its implications, among those interested in cultural policies and patrimonial management as well as among those who have focused cultural identity and its collective construction from an academic approach. In this aspect two questions are particularly difficult to elucidate: to whom rightly belongs the power to define which cultural objects possess a patrimonial value? Based on what criteria of epistemological pertinence and social legitimation someone -any individual such as oneself- can attribute to himself the power to establish which objects possess a patrimonial value and which ones do not?  a1657-9763
