«Indeed, as is known, the historical centers do not represent only an “economic good” to be maximized.

In realtà, come è noto, i centri storici non rappresentano soltanto un “bene economico” da massimizzare. Anche se si vuole evitare l’intricata strada delle motivazioni storico-culturali, tuttavia non possiamo trascurare il fatto che gli insediamenti antichi… sono un vero e proprio prodotto sociale, un patrimonio collettivo; sono la forma più concreta della cultura della comunità e in questa forma la comunità si riconosce.
Bruno Gabrielli, 1973
