Abstract

Outlines the problems and pressures inherent in the processes of conservation in Italy, particularly in the light of EC regulations and the high concentration of artistic and architectural heritage sites in the country. Gives a background to the architecture and construction of towns in Italy, and explains the current system of planning regulations and the problems attached to it. Explores the situations in Bologna and Florence, giving examples of the diversity of approach of municipal authorities. Suggests that many opportunities for British surveyors exist in Italy, due to a distinct lack of organization and management in many restoration projects underway.
