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 />
