His thought and the European debate in the 20th century.<\/h2>\n<p>Cesare Brandi, founder of the Central Institute for Restoration in 1939, represents the main figure of reference, at an international level, as regards the theorization and dissemination of a modern culture of restoration, restoration not only at a national level but also in a wider international context. Cesare Brandi stands out as the most important figure for the theorization and diffusion, in Italy and also within the wider international context, of a modern restoration culture.<\/p>\n<p>It was he who founded the Central Institute of Restoration in Rome in 1939, directing it for over 20 years and, later, continuing his teaching activity at the University of Palermo and then at the University of Rome &#8220;La Sapienza&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The vastness and complexity of his learning ranged from the figurative arts to poetry, music, dance, theatre and cinema and expanded over the Italian boundaries: his learning formed in the wake of the most distinguished tradition of the European culture which, from the philosophy of the ancient Greeks, had developed through the Kantian revolution up to the most innovative expressions of the thought of his time in the fields of aesthetic, hermeneutic, linguistic, structuralism, psychology of art perception.<\/p>\n<p>Developed on the occasion of the first centenary of his birth, the project aimed to highlight the European dimension of Cesare Brandi&#8217;s thought, expanding his knowledge even outside Italy; facilitate the comparison between the different interpretations of Brand&#8217;s thought and continue to monitor its relevance in different countries and cultures.<\/p>\n<p>Six national Conference held in Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Portugal. These seminaries, dealing with how Brandi\u2019s restoration theory and practice could contribute to solve the specific problems pointed out by each country.<\/p>\n<p>The most precious and mature result of his sensibility and education was his theory of conservation-restoration which, when it come to the safeguard of our past, reasserts the common roots of the various European identities.<\/p>\n<p>The Project activities were formulated so as to meet the requirements of different targets of people, therefore they unfolded on three different levels:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>National research groups and national seminars<\/strong> held in Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Portugal on the ways in which the theory and practice of restoration developed by Brandi can address the solution of the most specific problems encountered in each of the partner countries, according to a scientific and organizational structure that has been discussed and decided by the Scientific Committee of the project; These seminaries, dealing with how Brandi\u2019s restoration theory and practice could contribute to solve the specific problems pointed out by each country.<\/li>\n<li>An <strong>itinerant Exhibition<\/strong> held in the different countries illustrated Brandi\u2019s life, his lesson as well as his theory and publications. Besides this the Exhibition dealt with some of the most important interventions performed when Brandi was managing the Istituto Centrale del Restauro (1939 &#8211; 1960): in that lapse of time his restoration theory was practised almost every day, and therefore consequently improved. This resulted in some outstanding restoration interventions such as those performed on the frescos of the Paduan Cappella Ovetari by Andrea Mantegna, on Duccio da Buoninsegna Maest\u00e0 in the Museum of the Siena Dome, on Giotto\u2019s frescos in the Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi.<\/li>\n<li>The publication of a <strong>\u201cBrandi\u2019s Glossary\u201d<\/strong> <em>Theory and practice of conservatio-restoration according to Cesare Brandi <\/em>in the different languages containing some of the most complex concepts and terms of his thought.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Promoters<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ministero per i Beni e le Attivit\u00e0 Culturali &#8211; Dipartimento per i Beni Culturali e Paesaggistici (Roma)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><strong>Participant Institutions<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Associazione Giovanni Secco Suardo<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Associazione Amici di Cesare Brandi<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Academy of Fine Arts Warsaw, Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art (Warsaw) Universit\u00e4t von Hildesheim, Hochschule f\u00fcr angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst, HAWK Hildesheim \/ Holzminden \/ G\u00f6ttingen (Hildesheim)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Institut Nationale du Patrimoine (Paris)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Departamento de Conservaci\u00f2n y Restauraci\u00f2n de Bienes Culturales (Valencia)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Universidade Tecnica de Lisboa, Faculdade de Arquitectura (Lisboa)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Universit\u00e8 Libre de Bruxelles, Facult\u00e8 de Philosophie et Lettres, Section d&#8217;Histoire de l&#8217;Art (Bruxelles)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cesare Brandi (1906-1988).
