Era el otoño de 1988 cuando nos establecimos en la calle Johann Sebastian Bach de A Barcelona con la ilusión de empezar una vía profesional, decidida, coherente y especializada en el mundo de las antigüedades, conocedores aunque sin la experiencia suficiente, de los cambios, fluctuacio- nes, modas, dificultades y aciertos que supone este universo que intenta parar el paso del tiempo. Hemos querido ser fieles a nuestros orígenes, lo hemos sido y tenemos la intención de seguir en esta línea. En el transcurso de estos años hemos ido adaptando nuestro gusto y nuestras opciones profesionales y hemos recorrido diferentes campos del arte de los siglos XIX y XX, especialmente de la pintura, hasta recalar en la alta época, atraídos por la singularidad de las obras de escultura y de pintura de los siglos XIII – XVI, por la rareza cada vez mayor de una especialización en esta línea, y por la convicción de qué lejos de suponer una vía agotada, las imágenes pintadas y esculpidas de épocas tan lejanas pueden tener plena vigencia en nuestro mundo contemporáneo. Aún nos acordamos de la primera obra que adquirimos de pintura gótica, una obra del aragonés Martín Bernat, un Calvario que nos pareció maravilloso y que todavía nos continúa cautivando por la fuerza de la composición, por la riqueza cromática y por la luz. -

This principle is enshrined in the “Barcelona declaration: the city and people with disabilities” that to date has been signed by 400 European cities. There are many Catalan companies and destinations that have adapted their products and services accordingly. -

Forest Fire Prevention Plans in National Parks: Ordesa Nacional Park and Monte Perdido1
Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Fire Economics, Planning, and Policy: A Global View Forest Fire Prevention Plans in National Parks: Ordesa Nacional Park and Monte Perdido1 Basilio Rada,2 Luis Marquina3 Summary Protected natural spaces contribute to the well being of society in various ways such as maintaining biological diversity and quality of the landscape, regulation of water sources and nutrient cycles, production of soil, protection against natural catastrophes and the provision of recreation areas, education, science and culture, aspects which attain maximum relevance in the lands under the protection of the National Park. The singular nature and the high degree of protection to a large extent limit management, since the principles of conservation and natural processes prevail in these areas. Nevertheless the inevitable responsibility to ensure now and in future, the ecological economic and social functions of these spaces goes on to assume a management model on the lines of compliance with the Pan European Criteria for Sustainable Forest Management. In 2000 management of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido Park , in the Spanish Pyrenees which was declared a natural park in 1918, took the initiative to devise a Plan for the Prevention of Forest Fires in the park and its surroundings which may be a reference for the other parks comprising the network of Spanish National Parks. The Plan analyses the effectiveness of current protection resources, supported by cartography which aids decision making, fuel maps, fire risk, visibility, territorial isochrones and areas which at the same time plan the necessary measures to guarantee the protection of this space, which in many areas is inaccessible due to the steep landscape. -

The Textile Collection at the Episcopal Museum of Vic
35 OPEN SOURCE LANGUAGE VERSION > CATALÀ A museum within a museum: the textile collection at the Episcopal Museum of Vic by Judit Verdaguer i Serrat, curator of the Episcopal Museum of Vic (MEV) The dignity of clothes that have been consecrated to God, that have received His blessing (...), that have born witness to the celebration of the most venerable Mystery, should be sufficient to prevent their sale as cheap merchandise, so often leading into unworthy hands and to uses not fit for such robes and ornaments. If one piece and another were to find their way to museums, where they could serve to inform under careful conservation, this fault could be excused; but they are all too often converted into decorative items for lounges and workshops , and this when they are not taken apart and condemned to a life as a chair cover or converted into cushions and placed beneath the feet of all manner of people. Who has not seen maniples used as curtain loops?1. 1 GUDIOL I CUNILL, In 1925, Father Josep Gudiol2 expressed in these terms his distaste at the ignoble J., “La Indumentària fate of historical items of sanctified clothing and fabric. The trade of these items Litúrgica”, Anuari dels by “espadrille antiquarians”3, to use the term coined by Joaquim Folch i Torres, amics de l’art litúrgic, Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc. contributed to the cruel fragmentation and inexorable dispersion of many Barcelona, 1925, p. 155. Catalan textile pieces, erasing their history and roots forever. 2 Father J. Gudiol was The safekeeping of liturgical ornaments, of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, was curator of the Episcopal traditionally a matter for the religious establishment, which considered them Museum of Vic from 1898 sacred objects that must be conserved, protected and handled with respect.
