The essay opens with a review of the uncertainties in the definition of the concept of “cultural rights”, which is strongly connected with the undeterminedness of the concept of “culture” itself. The A. performs a philological comparative study on the concept of culture in the meaning that is relevant with regard to the universality of cultural rights. The essay then focuses on the analysis of the concept of “legal culture of cultures” in the work of Peter Häberle, which is necessary for the study of the role of cultural rights in contemporary constitutionalism. The A. analyses the origins of cultural rights, through a review of the relevant sources of the law, which are often fragmented, and that could be subject to systematic and evolutive interpretation. The A. then proceeds with the analysis of the legal guarantees of safeguard of cultural rights in the state of the art. The essay closes with the exposition of some of the forthcoming challenges that will define the debate on the fundamental cultural rights’ law and culture.
