Camilo Boito

Hi guys!

Today.. I m talking about Camilo Boito. He is an italian restorer, is know to be a father of scientific restoration. His postulates propose that the restoration is possible but at the same time is necessary keep visible the "life of object", because the "patina" or time of the object is finally his value. He understand that the arts have a important information for kwon the past, his value is documental too and not only esthetical.
For this reasons, his proposed a that the intervention in the object must be visible and distinguishable from the work, for this reason is necessary use different materials.
The restoration is based in  rigorous documentation and not in a speculation of stile.
Finally the intervention is minimum and privileging the Conservation.
 I think is important because before hi, the only two options for the historical object are the stylistical restoration by Viollet Le Duc, hi not saw the documental value and change many historical buildings with his restoration. The other possibility is John Ruskin, but hi weighed, that the life of object come to the end is better to let him die to intervene, because if you intervene the patina is lost and with her the information of the object.

Okey.. this is all..
See you soon
