Abstract

In Sicily the first service of active protection of monuments was experimented with a law of Ferdinand IV Borbone, who named the princes of Biscari and Torremuzza ‘royal guardians’ and Carlo Chenchi ‘architect of antiquities’. In that period, the temple of Segesta was restored, which had been damaged by lightning in 1726 which struck the eastern façade and a column was built with different stones which, a few years later, was declared too distinguishable. In the cathedral of Palermo in 1835 the construction of a neo-Gothic bell tower was completed based on a project by the architect Emanuele Palazzotto, which replaced the Baroque one built after the earthquake of 1726. Restoration has perhaps never gone out of fashion and today the restoration of monuments is going through a profound crisis.
