Strumenti di partenariato speciale e processi di rigenerazione del patrimonio pubblico: l’esperienza del monastero del carmine a Bergamo

The paper analyses the regeneration process of the Monastero del Carmine, a complex structure of
architectural and historical value located in the city of Bergamo (Italy). Built after the 14th century, the Monastery
experienced a long period of abandonment from the 18th century until the second half of the 20th century when the
property was transferred to the Municipality. In the gradual recovery, the theatre company Teatro tascabile di Bergamo
(TTB) played a significant role. Important for the reuse process was the Special Public Private Partnership
activated between the TTB and the Municipality, thanks to which a complex process of material and immaterial
regeneration began. The paper presents a public heritage regeneration process highlighting the role of the actors
involved and the technical-administrative tool adopted.
