Napoli, Italy

30th August 2021

2:30 to 4:00 pm

Walking through the streets of the cities we come across ancient and sumptuous buildings, whose beauty strikes us at first glance. We are immediately aware of the importance of their protection. However, in our path we also come across other types of buildings, still ancient but more neglected and decadent.
Each building tells a story, has unique peculiarities to be discovered through a study that is able to protect its identity. Complexity is present on all levels, in places where this aesthetic attribution becomes a threat to the discovery of the real value of a heritage that risks being destroyed forever.
