Twentieth-century Architecture and Conservation Management Planning. Experiences in Italy and in Brazil

This book presents a comparative discussion of the experiences developed on the topic of management and conservation of 20th-century architecture in Italy and Brazil with the support of the Getty Foundation in Los Angeles. Building upon the scholarly findings compiled by experts in the field, this book publication offers an analysis of the management and conservation plans developed in the two countries and attempts to evaluate their tangible effects on architectural conservation practices and institutional protective measures. Our aim is to contribute to the international debate on the protection of modern architecture catalysed by the Getty Foundation’s “Keeping it Modern” program between 2014 and 2020 by providing insights into the impact of this investment in human and financial resources in Italy and Brazil.
