Already present in the UNESCO list of intangibile world heritage features with its Sicilian pupi (puppets) and the Sardinian shepherds exclusive a tenore singing, Italy is now preparing to candidate a series of folklore events, including the Viareggio Carnival, the Palio of Siena, the Master Lute-makers School of Cremona and a number of major historic festivals.

Meanwhile, the Union of Pro Loco (local tourist authorities) is preparing an exhaustive catalogue of the vast number of local feast days, religious ceremonies, rituals and traditional events held throughout the year all over the country. The material collected is to be kept in a new national multi-medial library in the town of Civitella d'Agliano, near Viterbo, in Lazio.
