Italian term or phrase: contenuti
I think this is a specific term from semiotics. I am not sure what the English equivalent is but I am pretty sure it is not "contents." It appears in my text several times along with valori and significati as a kind of catchphrase. For example:

"...che l’opera possa comunicare al fruitore in maniera corretta tutti i suoi valori, significati e contenuti."

"in quanto i valori, i significati e i contenuti che ammiriamo con tanto interesse nelle opere si danno alla nostra fruizione solo attraverso ai materiali costitutivi con i quali sono indissolubilmente legati."

Explanation:
'contents' can imply a table of contents, 'content' is more specific. Please see the references below, end of second para of wiki page

I was sure this was going to be something obscure like "signified" but it is actually...err...well...rather obvious. Thanks to Bob for the quick answer and to the agreers for confirming.
