Superintendence for Architectural, Landscape, Historical, Artistical and ethno-anthropological Heritage for Tuscan Provinces of Florence, Pistoia and Prato.
Friday Novermber 12- from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Sala Camillo Boito

Introduction: Alessandra Marino

Speaker: Gabriele Nannetti

Moderator: Vincenzo Vaccaro

The territory under the supervision of the Superintendence presents, in its major cities, an extraordinary concentration of art and historical artefacts. Florence, in particular, has been declared in 1982 by the UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Anyway as well as the monuments created by Arnolfo and the brunelleschiane and albertiane architectural structures, what gives to the territory an unique image is the surrounding landscape. A mix of mountain and hills with buildings and roads which testify the human action and presence. For what concern the art and historical aspects, its useful to remind that the great diffusion of religious documents since the medieval age, created in every part of the province a great richness of artworks and art documents.
The local Superintendence made, in this sense, a great effort in order to preserve these treasures, including the landscape and territorial ones, as showed by the Florence European Landscape Declaration, undersigned in Florence in 2000.
Ten years after this event, the meeting will try to discuss about the application of the articles of the Italian Codex of Cultural Heritage, with particular reference to some related legislations as for example: the Territorial Tuscany plan of the year 2007, the Territorial Landscape plan of the year 2009, and the article no 146 of the Italian Codex of Cultural Heritage. In the second part of the meeting some Superintendence architects and art historians will detail some of the most recent interventions of restoration directly cared by the Superintendence.
