In recent years, literature on studies on urban features and living conditions of cities related to health and well-being, has shown growing attention to the implications that the cultural dimension has or can have in such processes. The attention concerns the cultural expression understood as a set of environmental and social features, that is, a set of characteristics associated with a specific place, urban or territorial, of human and social development. Today, the relationship between culture and health, obtains an important role. Indeed, a considerable interest growth in sector studies, which unequivocally demonstrate how the intelligent use of free time is associated to an extension of life expectancy and a reduction of some pathologies. The culture/cultural activity that is generally considered as an entertainment, assumes a precise value, proving to be an important tool for preventing cognitive decline, mitigating stress conditions and contributing to general well-being.
The paper focuses on these topics and specifically on the implications and on relationships between the preservation of cultural heritage and the improvement of individual’s lives and the environment, describing a case study on an ongoing experimentation, in a municipality of the metropolitan city of Reggio Calabria.
