La città viva di Egle Renata Trincanato

Overview & Synopsis

This volume presents the outcomes of a research, still in progress, on the contribution of Egle Renata Trincanato (1910-1998) to the discipline of Restoration. The study is part of a broader research carried out within the Chair of Restoration at the University of Cagliari, coordinated by Caterina Giannattasio, aimed at integrating the state of the art with the contribution of female figures who have worked in the field of cultural heritage intervention. The investigation presented here was conducted from the exploration of the archival fund kept at the Project Archive of the IUAV in Venice. The intention is to frame the scholar's thought in the context of the Second Postwar period, at a time when the issue of safeguarding the historic city is at the center of national and international debate. Trincanato, interweaving expertise in reading the urban fabric, a commitment to city preservation and a keen sensitivity to social issues, plays a crucial role in declining the discipline of Restoration to the urban scale.
