Art and Cultural Heritage

Piselli & Partners can provide judicial and extra-judicial legal assistance in all areas related to art and cultural heritage law, for private owners, owners or holders of movable and immovable property of historical, artistic and archaeological interest, as well as public entities responsible for protecting and preserving cultural and artistic heritage.

For art law we assist private individuals, art galleries and museums for everything related to the protection, circulation and enhancement of works of art and cultural heritage.
