Abstract

Cultural heritage and the study of the cultural landscapes of the islands are becoming an increasingly important task for modern researchers in an interdisciplinary context. The lesser-known islands represent an essential thematic aspect with their unique tangible and intangible local cultural heritage. Analytical research, case study, innovative projects and promotion of the cultural landscapes of the islands provide broad prospects for the development of sustainable cultural tourism, economic development of local communities and preservation of local cultural heritage. In this context, the cultural heritage of the Italian islands is a significant field of research. The article analyzes the features of preservation and promotion of the Italian islands’ tangible and intangible cultural heritage in the context of innovative approaches and cultural tourism. Based on the analysis of the cultural heritage of Italian islands territories on the UNESCO World Heritage List, a detailed analysis is devoted to the heritage of lesser-known islands, which are not included in this list but represent valuable aspects of cultural heritage. This year’s 1600th anniversary of the founding of Venice and the proclamation of the island of Procida as the cultural capital of Italy for 2022 gives particular relevance to this topic. The article is based on the study of Italian scientific literature. Paper analyzes trends in the current state of research, promotion and sustainable development of various types of the cultural heritage of the Italian islands to preserve the uniqueness of the cultural landscape, identity and development of local communities. The study of interesting innovative projects for the development of Italian islands provides an opportunity to study experience and new approaches in preserving and promoting the islands’ cultural heritage. The article analyzes the main thematic aspects of modern research on the cultural heritage of island territories, identifies areas of the current study of Italian researchers in this dimension and analyzes the prospects for further study of this topic
