These activities respond to two of ICCROM’s strategic directions identified in 2000, namely “to adopt policies and activities that integrate the conservation of movable and immovable cultural property” and “to coordinate and promote interdisciplinary research into heritage conservation”. In addition, they aim to cross cultural boundaries. Another example of this strategy lies in the courses held regularly in Japan on the conservation of oriental works of art on paper and of objects of lacquer (urushi).

Sharing conservation decisions: a participant’s viewpoint

An underlying and fundamental challenge in the daily life of a conservator is the ability to make informed decisions, whether related to the final appearance of an object, the display of objects in different contexts, or the reconstruction of an earthquake-damaged monument. Such issues were the focus of the pilot international course, Sharing conservation decisions, which took place in both Rome and Florence during November 2002. Designed and hosted by ICCROM in collaboration with a diverse team of The Basilica of Assisi conservation professionals (including partner institutions such as the Istituto tures, site visits, group exercises, case Centrale per il Restauro, the Opificio studies, discussions and debates that delle Pietre Dure, and the Institut were compressed into the four weeks.

Cultural landscapes: the example of the Cinque Terre

The Cinque Terre is a coastal area near La Spezia in Liguria, Italy where steep terraced hillsides have been cultivated for wine production for over one thousand years. As the name implies, there are five principal settlements, Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso. The Cinque Terre is managed as a National Park and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in recognition of the extraordinary human effort involved in building and maintain- ing extensive stonewall terraces on steeply-pitched hillsides. The Cinque Terre retained a traditional way of life for much longer than The town of Riomaggiore in the Cinque Terre World Heritage Cultural Landscape other parts of Italy because of its relative isolation. Until quite recently, movement and exchange of people and goods was mostly carried out by sea. A railway linking the five towns was built in the late 19th century but it was not until 1976 that there was a road capable of carrying motorized transport. Since then, the interest of the local communities in sustaining their traditional way of life has diminished dra- matically.
