P    RESENTATION OF THE JOURNAL
     “CONSERVATION SCIENCE IN CULTURAL HERITAGE”
     ART AND SCIENCE, ART IS SCIENCE

Walter Tega
President, Academy of Sciences of the Institute of Bologna



     It is a great opportunity to be able to discuss with highly qualified and knowledge-
able interlocutors such as Mauro Mantovani, Daniela Porro, Giovanni Carbonara and
Cosimo Damiano Fonseca, the scientific contributions in the new issue N. 21 (2021) of
the Journal “Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage”, directed by Salvatore Lorus-
so. It is yet another small step forward that has been added to those already made in
recent years with great coherence in the field of heritage safeguarding and enhancing,
but above all in the passionate study conducted through the precious work done by
Salvatore Lorusso.
     I highlight the word “precious” because the Journal has not only chosen one dimen-
sion of the complex problems posed by the cultural themes in our country but has prac-
ticed multilateral approaches and above all has shown how the study of cultural themes
needs a continuous relationship and close collaboration in many disciplines. Of course,
all this requires a strong ability to guide and orient, but above all it requires the ability
to induce the disciplines that measure themselves in this field, to go beyond their bor-
ders and beyond description, classification and representation.
     The aim is to gain knowledge that brings together the acquisition of places and sit-
uations, of anthropological and social contexts, of symbolic and aesthetic aspects, but
always with the support of instrumental techniques, of necessary scientific analysis
which includes the manual skill that has been acquired by practicing the profession
and has been guided by a profound cultural sensitivity towards tradition and the past
and must be recognized for its appropriate timing and context.
