Study Notes

Restoration Debates (1970-1990)

  • Brandi's 1972 restoration charter significantly influenced restoration practices from the 1970s to 1990s.
  • Key principles included reversibility, minimum intervention, compatible materials, and distinct interventions.

Reversibility

  • Advocating for undoable restoration interventions, allowing future changes without harming the original artifact.
  • Scholars like Giovanni Carbonara emphasized reversibility for material and historical integrity.
  • Marco Dezzi Bardeschi questioned whether some irreversible "marks of time" should also be preserved, favoring minimal handling.

Minimum Intervention

  • Interventions should be necessary and have minimal alteration to the artifact.
  • Marco Dezzi Bardeschi advocated for "pure conservation" avoiding significant additions or reconstructions.
  • Paolo Marconi supported "restoration by analogy," allowing stylistically coherent integrations, if they improve functionality and readability.

Compatible Materials

  • New materials should not negatively interact with original materials.
  • Advancements in materials science allowed for more durable and non-invasive interventions.
  • Giovanni Carbonara emphasized traditional materials where appropriate, combined with modern ones but using rigorous testing and documentation.

Distinguishability of Interventions

  • Restoration should be clearly distinguishable from the original.
  • Marco Dezzi Bardeschi argued for additions to be visibly different to preserve authenticity.
  • Paolo Marconi favored subtler interventions that harmonized with the historical context.
  • Giovanni Carbonara sought a balance where new elements were distinct but not disruptive, aligning with his critical methodology.

Palazzo della Regione in Milan

  • Marco Dezzi Bardeschi's intervention included a modern staircase to maintain usability, even if it left the building incomplete.
  • The addition emphasized distinguishability and the active use of the historical structure.

Critical-Conservative Restoration (Giovanni Carbonara)

  • Balances monument preservation with present-day usability.
  • Emphasizes historical understanding and contextual interpretation.
  • Integrates new elements, respecting both historical and functional considerations.
  • Restorations should respect traces of time.
