NOVECENTO INTRODUCES
Alessia Cecconi meets Fulvio Cervini.
What happens to art pieces during a conflict? What role do artists and intellectuals have? Though the protection of the historical and artistic patrimony during World War II has turned into a subject of growing interest, the contribution of the civil society in defending monuments and works is less known. In the month celebrating many anniversaries linked to the Tuscan rebellious movements – remembering the commitment of some of the protagonists of the Italian culture in the twentieth century – among which Giovanni Poggi, Ugo Procacci, Cesare Fasola and Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti – offers the chance to retrace the struggle against raids and war devastation. An occasion to remember, using Roberto Longhi’s words, “which and how many values had to be protected”.
