Description	The ecomuseum of Parabiago is a cultural institution recognized by the Lombardy Region in 2008. It aims to make the landscape fully and clearly legible to the local communities and the visitors. Learning to see and understand the places around us are needed to take care of them and improve them. From the point of view of the Constitution of the Italian Republic, the ecomuseum as a process of active citizenship which, through the principle of subsidiarity (art.118), has as its goal the care of the landscape and heritage (art.9) to the material and spiritual progress of society (art. 4) and the full development of the person (art. 3). Thus the ecomuseum of Parabiago, thanks to a path of permanent participation, has become a pact with which the community is committed to working together for the care of the territory. The community has identified the common heritage to be managed: about 50 monuments, places of culture, sport and nature have been studied and mapped; in some cases the redevelopment was planned and implemented.
