Il de-restauro: conflittualità tra principi operativi nell’intervento sul restauro archeologico novecentesco /

A critical reevaluation of 20th-century archaeological restorations, particularly those at UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Sabratha, reveals ongoing tensions between innovative practices and traditional principles. The study highlights how advancements in historical, artistic, and technological knowledge reshaped restoration approaches, yet also cast doubt on the longevity and validity of these interventions. While some restorations are recent enough to be potentially reversible, they remain integral to the layered history and visual identity of monuments. This work underscores the need for a balanced approach that reconciles modern methodologies with the preservation of cultural heritage, ensuring interventions align with both scientific progress and ethical considerations.
