Abstract

In the article we discussed the approaches to restoration, which are most widely used in the restoration practice in Italy. A comparative analysis of the creative concepts of the authors – theorists and practitioners of the profession – was carried out regarding restoration additions, the relationship of restoration, conservation and reconstructive actions on the heritage site, general provisions of the restoration theory. The recognized leader of the Italian restoration school is Giovanni Carbonara, a proponent of the “critical-conservative” approach. Marco Dezzi Bardeschi, an architect-practitioner, offers a “clean conservation” approach, contrasting the “old” and “new” in architecture. Architect Paolo Marconi develops a pragmatic line of “repair and maintenance” approach. Despite the significant differences in theoretical concepts, they are very noticeably softened in restoration practice. And architects with diametrically opposed views often join forces to work on a common project.
