Attualità e tradizione delle Carte del Restauro del patrimonio del XX secolo. Visioni di processo oltre i neo-filologismi / Modernity and tradition of 20th century heritage conservation documents. Process-oriented approaches beyond neo-philology

Abstract

The growing awareness of the legacy of modern heritage emerges from significant stages starting from the roots of the debate on its preservation. The need to ensure the survival of Modern Movement icons at risk, led to an early sentiment to save those masterpieces found in the Eindhoven Statement, drafted in 1990 in the context of the I International Docomomo Conference. If national and international charters for the conservation and restoration of monuments drafted in the 20^th century completely overlook this issue, a broader and more structured cultural approach emerges from recent charters such as the Madrid-New Delhi Document (ICOMOS-ISC20C 2017) and the Cádiz Document: InnovaConcrete Guidelines for Conservation of Concrete Heritage (ICOMOS-ISC20C 2021). The study analyses cultural advances and references, while highlights significant contradictions between advanced theoretical statements and operational contexts still tied to neo-philological approach producing unsolved versions of modern heritage.
