The article is devoted to present tendencies in the field of conservation interference in Italy. In the post-war period and in the 1950s the approach of Italian architects towards conservation intervention went along the following three lines: 1) the preservation of monuments in their present condition, 2) the reconstruction of the structures, 3) the construction of new forms but referring to the old ones. The 1964 Charter of Venice extended the notion of historic monument, which affected conservation procedure. The including of urban settings meant not only the protection of individual valuable structures but also of the entire environment and of more modest works. In cases where only some small parts of structures have been preserved they are inserted in a way that makes it possible for them to stand out. With such an approach to the conservation of monuments of architecture a choice of proper materials is of big significance. The author gives examples of the use of cement in conservation. In its publication from 1981 and 1984 the Italian Technical and Economic Cement Association has pointed out that cement used in conservation should be specially prepared for that purpose. New materials, other than those used originally, are also employed in conservation. As an example the author mentions the theatre of Eraclea Minca (Aprigento). Of particular importance is the use of new materials for the display of structures (the just mentioned theatre of Eraclea Minca and the Etruscan National Museum of Villa Giulio in Rome). Conservation is the undertaking which should not change the original image of historic structures. If intervention is necessary, new solutions cannot predominate and all necessary additions should be easily discernible.

Except for the period of Punic wars individual historic periods in Palermo can be reconstructed in detail. The 2nd World W a r and then an earthquake in 1968, left a permanent vestige in the structure and history of the town. A gradual exodus of inhabitants soon resulted in a drop in the number of the population. The old centre with the area of 250 ha accounts today for 8 per cent of the total town area and is inhabited by nearly 6 per cent of Palermo's inhabitants. The present situation of this urban complex is similar to the situation found in other southern regions of Europe, which in the postwar period developed in an abnormal way, restricting ages-long links of the town with the sea and agriculture. Recently, hope has been raised that it will be possible to change Palermo’s situation. After four years of work a group of specialists has put forward a programme for the reh a bilitation of the historic centre. Both on a na tio nal and regional scale a new spatial programme corresponds to standards set for historic centres. It restores to four districts their original cultural function and administrative centre of the town and region. It also pays attention to problems of hygiene and health that have been left unsolved for nearly a century. It seems to be an indispensable instrument in solving the problem of the town’s rebirth. First and foremost, this is a rehabilitation project, subordinating all actions of the concordance of a modern function of the urban body to its historic character.
