The heritage of intangible assets consisting of spoken traditions, rituals, worships, festivals, and craft activities, expresses a population’s culture, defining its identity. Despite the central role it plays in the cultural scene, this heritage is currently at risk to disperse and disappear. Therefore, a critical study and analysis of immaterial assets of a community represent the key to promote the enhancement and the safeguard of the territory, the architecture, and the cities.
