The paper discusses both theory and practice in the application of the Italian domestic law, which
has applied since 2006 to any kind of public new construction or to the modification of existing structures. The
author argues, based on two of his own projects, BREBEMI and EMPTYSCAPES, that there are both shortcomings
and new opportunities within Planning Led Archaeology. Projects from the last decade, in Italy and elsewhere,
have demonstrated the potential effectiveness of new approaches to pre-development evaluation in the operation
of the current legal and scientific framework that may make it possible to overcome some severe limitations in
current practice.
