Cultural heritage, also in light of Italy's recent ratification of the Faro Convention, is confirmed as the set of resources inherited from the past that communities consider an expression of their values and beliefs. In particular, the intangible heritage seems to clearly express the close link with the methods of construction of memory and identity, contributing to the definition of that pedagogical implication that generates processes of ideological incorporation. The contribution intends to propose a critical reflection on the relationship between identity, intangible cultural heritage and political educational project in Sicily, also following the issue of the guidelines for the implementation of the regional law on the promotion, enhancement and teaching of history, literature and of the Sicilian linguistic heritage in schools
