ARTEFACTA Cultural and environmental property

Artefacta is a co-operative society composed by young people with different competencies, and it was born with the aim to offer advice, assistance, organization and support services within the Cultural Property sector.
Our co-operative society is mostly composed by graduates in Archeology, Architecture and Art History, who have gained professional experience in archives, libraries, museums and in didactic, touristic and informatic sectors.
Artefacta's members propose to themselves the aim to study and exploit the Italian cultural patrimony, with particular attention to Piedmont, convinced that this patrimony is the basis of our collective and individual identity.
