Le industrie culturali e creative : una formula fortunata, ma ancora in cerca di identità (giuridica)

Conceptually framing the formula «CCI-Cultural & Creative Industries» is an operation which has been mainly concerned with the economic doctrine of culture. The present contribu-tion offers the scientific community some food for thought from a legal point of view, in particular in relation to EU Law and domestic law. What makes the definition a unicum in the panorama of the multileveled public law is the specific character of CCI, which, at the same time, investigates the profiles of «culture», «creativity», and of «industry/economy». This also stands out in the Italian legal system, because the republican Constitution does not know that notion, which makes scholars give it a systematic interpretation. In addition to this, having to do with a form of regional State, we need to realise how competences between the State and the Regions are distributed, due to the heterogeneous sector of CCI.

The uncertainty of the notion in constitutional law allowed the State legislator to introduce a similar, but not an identical one: that of «cultural and creative enterprises», on which, in the final paragraph, this work tries to reflect at first reading. [Publisher's text].
