Stu<strong>di</strong>es and Research<br />

In <strong>2004</strong> activities in this field focused on three projects regar<strong>di</strong>ng Piedmont’s heritage. The<br />

Foundation reaffirmed its support for the “Ricerca su fonti e strumenti per la storia dei restauratori in<br />

Piemonte” (Research on Sources and Tools in Piedmont Restorers History) carried out by DAMS<br />

(Department of Music and Performing Arts of Turin University) as part of a wider national<br />

programme entitled “Archivio Storico e banca dati dei Restauratori italiani” (Italian Restorers’<br />

Historic Archive and Data Bank). It was co-financed by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and<br />

Activities and jointly promoted by the Istituto Centrale per il Restauro (Central Institute for<br />

Restoration), the Associazione Secco Suardo (Secco Suardo Association) in Rome, the<br />

Superintendent for Artistic and Historical Heritage of Milan and Rome’s “La Sapienza” University.<br />

Another part of this project was to publish the papers of “Il Corpo dello stile. Cultura e lettura del<br />

restauro nelle esperienze contemporanee”, a workshop organised by the Secco Suardo<br />

Association to explore the possible interaction between historical - artistic <strong>di</strong>sciplines and the latest<br />

trends in restoration. Grant support to young Italian history of art scholars has been reiterated.<br />

Grants were originally proposed by INHA - Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art (History of art national<br />

institute) in Paris, and their number increased from 2 to 3 for the <strong>2004</strong>/2005 academic year. The<br />

Foundation will support the publication of grants-related research papers on historical-artistic<br />

relations between France and Italy and encompassing various <strong>di</strong>sciplines, ranging from<br />

architecture, figurative arts, photography and decorative arts.<br />

The Foundation conferred on Si.T.I. – (Higher Institute for Territorial Systems for Innovation) the task<br />

of drawing a “risk map” of important monuments and Savoy residences in Piedmont. It also agreed<br />

to <strong>di</strong>gitilise informative sheets and related pictures on historical - artistic assets, to be added to the<br />

database in the Centro <strong>di</strong> documentazione e catalogazione regionale dei beni storico-artistici del<br />

Piemonte (Piedmont’s Regional Centre of Documentation and Catalogation of Historical-Artistic<br />

Heritage) based in Villa della Regina in Turin. This operation is being carried out by the<br />

Soprintendenza per il Patrimonio Storico Artistico e Etnoantropologico del Piemonte<br />

(Superintendent for Artistic, Historical and Ethnoanthropological Heritage of Piedmont). In the first<br />

year alone, 22,000 sheets were compiled, which covered the 1990-1999 period.<br />
