Abstract
It is urgent in Italy the need to define new rules to regulate and fund the producion of public art. LEgislation must take into account the evolution of the concept of art in public places; from "public art as decoration" to "art in the public shere". Contemporary artists conceive their work in public places specialy to adress the public space as a place where social relationships are defined and use to happpen. The question then is how to define new rules to avoid that monuments selected from the public administration to "decorate" a space are imposed upon the citizens who live that place even as social space.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
