| Course Description: |
This course is addressing the chronologically the most significant moments of the history of Restoration and Conservation related with different theories, charters and practices nationally and internationally. The lessons investigate, in a unitary perspective, the history of the restoration in the major European nations. The lessons follow the chronological criterion, keeping in mind that the cultural orientations do not have a date of birth and death as human beings. The different currents of thought and the different schools are presented through the study of a series of works. Therefore, through these works, we illustrate the many problems to which the history and theory of restoration try to give a solution. The program resumes the theoretical and practical events from the Italian Renaissance to the present debate. Particular attention is dedicated to legislation and international charters. Specifically, the course provides the student with knowledge of the history of the restoration through the analysis of significant experiences and exemplary restorations.
