The export from the national territory of any cultural asset of any kind that is more than 50 years old must be approved. This applies, for example, to listed cultural assets, artistic objects, archaeological finds, archived materials and written records (historic documents). The request must be made either to the Autonomous Province of Bolzano (in the case of export to an EU country or in the case of a temporary export) or to the Antiquities and Monuments Office in Verona (in the case of export to a non-EU country).
