Abstract
The Venice Charter was adopted in a climate of internationalization of the architectural debate, accompanied by a growing transnational discussion on heritage conservation. After World War II, confidence in a new season of the discipline shifted the focus away from previously restored buildings. Sixty years later, an increasing number of monuments has undergone further cycles of intervention and the need to reconsider past restoration works is occurring more and more often. A retrospective comparison of the different approaches in Italy and France – both countries deeply involved in writing and interpreting the document – could provide insights into the ambitions of the 1964 Charter, in the face of heritage assets now profoundly transformed not only by the inherent processes of change but also by the accelerated sequence of restorations occurred in the last few decadI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
