Though the distinction between tangible and intangible heritage may be contested, some intangible expressions and manifestations of heritage better represent the feeling of self- consciousness and identity of a community. Heritage as an expression of identity lays on two parallel levels: at regional and local level, some manifestations of heritage are perceived by local community as more representative of the local identity; on the contrary, some examples of heritage, mainly monuments and sites chosen for tourism, are perceived as a national legacy little representative of the local identity .
