CULTURAL HERITAGE: IN ITALY 40,000 PRIVATE HISTORICAL HOUSES

(AGI) - Rome, Oct. 24 - I

n Italy there are 40,000 historical edifices that are private properties whose conservation becomes difficult because of maintenance costs and the necessity to adequately respect the principles concerning renovation works and the laws issued by the appropriate institutions. A convention that is taking place today in Rome has been dedicated to this cultural patrimony. Italy possesses 60 percent of the cultural heritage in the world. Part of it is represented by the 40,000 private edifices whose artistic or historic value has been 'certified' by the state, so that they can be maintained in their architectonic, artistic and functional integrity for the future generations. This patrimony is the reason of the convention 'Conservation of historical houses: also a European problem', organised by ADSI (the Italian Association of Historical Houses) with the sponsorship of National Council for Research and the Foundation of the 'Cassa di Risparmio di Roma'. It is taking place today in Rome in the Galleria of Palazzo Colonna. The meeting focuses on tutelage, conservation and utilisation of these monuments, and the difficulty to carry out these tasks: the difficulty to maintain the original state of the edifice, both in terms of architecture and in terms of the the material that was originally used for the building; the need to satisfy the numerous and complex requirements of the law and of the state for the protection of the patrimony; the costs, which are often very high in terms of maintenance or renovation. In 1977 a group of owners of historical houses felt the need to share their duty to manage and keep in good conditions what belongs to humanity in general and decided to create the Italian Association of Historical Houses (ADSI), whose role, according to the statute, was to 'contribute to the conservation, the valorisation and the management' of these edifices.
