Objectives of the publication This handbook, focused on the theme of sustainable and socially useful “use and re-use” of medieval ruins, is the main output of WPT2, whose aim is finding the balance between the needs of stakeholders and public expectations concerning use of medieval ruins and preservation of au- thenticity and historical value of medieval ruins (as historical monuments). It supplies an operational tool useful to guide owners and managers of the thousands of medi- eval ruins around Europe toward a sustainable re-use, preservation and modern management of historical ruins. Theoretical and practical models are provided on the themes of architectural and archaeolog- ical restoration, projects of contemporary reuse, management of cultural heritage, with a wide presentation of case-studies referring to the European context. Users have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the most current approaches to con- servation, sustainable use and management of the ruins, which represent, throughout Europe, a heritage of inestimable historical-cultural value but extremely fragile, for which the professional must know how to relate correctly not to compromise its authenticity. In the last half century the European debate on the theme of the enhancement of cultural heritage has changed the point of view with which assets are perceived: no longer a legacy to be guarded and contemplated but a dynamic reality with an active role in the contemporary world.
