THE CONSERVATION OF MATERIAL HERITAGE THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION OF INTANGIBLE HERITAGE

Abstract
Intervention in a historical context poses the problem of recognising and preserving its tangible and intangible heritage. The discipline of restoration has long been debating how to intervene and the need for timely action toward Cultural Heritage (both tangible and intangible). One of the main questions is: there is no doubt that the conservation of material heritage is fundamental, but how can this be achieved? Can the related intangible heritage help? How? The literature in this field shows that in most cases, action is taken to conserve the material heritage and then, at a later stage, to recognise and transmit the intangible heritage. Research conducted by the Department of Architecture in collaboration with local organisations addressed this question, analysing specifically the case study of Sanremo's Pigna district. The Pigna district in Sanremo (IM) is one of Sanremo's oldest neighbourhoods; it is a neighbourhood of medieval origin that has had ups and downs: it was the seat of government and went through a period of decline until the 1980s when it became a degraded neighbourhood, both in material and social terms. A series of initiatives over the years have reversed this trend. The article examines these initiatives and the impact they had on the conservation and restoration of the neighbourhood, reaching a paradoxical conclusion.
