Restoring the Restored

Soprintendenza per i Beni Architettonici, Paesaggistici, Storici ed Etnoantropologici, per le Provincie di Firenze, Pistoia e Prato
Friday 9 November from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. - Sala Tintori

The attention reserved over time to our Heritage (especially in a region like Tuscany) resulted as a consequence of a situation in which today often 'restoration' and 'conservation' means not only to make a properly evaluation of the changes made to the artwork over time, but also the choices made during past restoration carried out in the twentieth century, according to the different methodologies and conceptions of the restoration process, from a theoretical and methodological point of view and especially in the operation on the site.
If we look at both architectural and movable heritage, we see numerous situations in which you will have to carefully consider whether these interventions (sometimes to recovery and reintegrate, sometimes of removal and release) should be regarded as historicized and thus to preserve as refer to the "continuity of artwork life", or not relevant and therefore (at least for the reintegration and reconstruction) to be removed.
Relationships proposed in this study day - in line with the communications presented during the XIX Salone dell’Arte del Restauro di Ferrara - offer some thoughts on the subject and present some significant situations related to the work of the Superintendence for Architectural Art and Ethno-anthropological Heritage, with a view to placing the speakers today in a historical perspective, knowing that in the future, our work could be under the scrutiny of new and different critical readings.
