L’approccio sartoriale nella conservazione delle dimore storiche

Italy is home to a wealth of prestigious residences, whether or not they are formally designated as cultural assets of significant historical and artistic value and therefore subject to the restrictions imposed by the Cultural Heritage Code. This heritage includes palaces, castles, and country estates, each with a distinct identity that reflects the history of the region in which it is located. Though this heritage belongs to a privileged few, it must be preserved not only for its historical significance, but also because—if properly promoted and managed—it can serve as an economic resource for local communities, generating employment opportunities for many.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in this stimulating discussion through questions, comments, and observations.
