Abstract

The museum complex of Pitti Palace is one of the strategic projects of UNESCO Management Plan, called The prince's path, together with Uffizi Gallery, Vasari Corridor and Boboli Gardens, constituting the site that, perhaps not surprisingly, in 2014 the Ministry equipped with managerial, administrative-economic autonomy. If the post-war history of the Palace has been characterized by inadequate investments of resources and tools, also for the purposes of knowledge of the architectural heritage (the first studies of that period, remain the main bibliographic references to this day) and of the relative maintenance, the so-called 'Franceschini Reform' has inaugurated a new season for the Site, in which the administration has the opportunity to deepen and experiment strategies and actions aimed at the practice of programmed conservation. As regards the monumental complex of Pitti Palace, the contribution presents interventions, analyzes and programs which have been conceived and conducted with a methodological approach that places analysis and monitoring of the state of conservation of the heritage.
