Abstract: 
The period of the Italian Occupation was an important chapter in the traditions and cultural heritage of the Dodecanese, as it led to the development of a particular culture. The effects of this period are still felt today. This paper briefly studies Italian architecture in the Dodecanese and, specifically, in Kos during the Italian occupation (1912-1943). Reference is made to the main monuments/buildings of the period and their use then and now. The aim of this paper is to highlight the cultural heritage of the Italians on the island of Kos and to examine the possibilities of its exploitation in the context of cultural entrepreneurship.
