Restoration is the methodological moment of recognition of the pieces of art in its physical form and in its dual aesthetic and historical polarity in view of its transmission to the future.
(Cesare Brandi)
Renovate a building is not to keep it, repair it or do it again , you restore it to a state of wholeness that may never have existed in a given time.
(Eugène Emmanuel Viollet Le Duc)
Preserve, not restore.
(Camillo Boito)
Nothing it is really that hard to operate and easier to reason as in what refers to the restoration.
(Camillo Boito)
