A Study Day on the Conservation of the Historic Gardens

ICOMOS Consiglio Italiano dei Monumenti e dei Siti, Università degli Studi di Firenze (Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Architettura del Paesaggio, Facoltà di Architettura) and UNISCAPE
Thursday, November 8, from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.- Sala Secco Suardo
Cavaniglia Pavilion, Fortezza da Basso, Florence
It's been 30 years since the drafting of the Charter of the Conservation of Historic Gardens, known as the Florence Charter - which is coupled to the equally important Italian map - which marked in 1981 the point of convergence between theories and practical methodologies of the interventions of conservation. It is now open a debate that still has many questions and requires more in-depth comparisons that move from the same interpretation of the meaning of a garden complex area which is a place where culture, art and nature find a particular balance that can also be compared to the formal representation of the organization of the society in different historical periods.
The experience gained in this field all over the world (think at China, for example), while upholding the principles of the Charter, deserves a renewed interest and a more current study because of its vastness, think at the Italian situation, for example Tuscany and, in particular, Florence.

The Study Day is promoted by the Degree Course in Architecture of Landscape of the Universite of Florence, ICOMOS Consiglio Italiano dei Monumenti and UNISCAPE.
