Introduction
Introduction
The introduction outlines the objectives of the book, which seeks to reassess preservation practices as they occurred in Renaissance Rome. The vocabulary of modern conservation theory is ill suited for this task. Instead, key terms defined by Biondo Flavio in the Roma instaurata of the mid-fifteenth century provide useful terminology to better evaluate the Renaissance understanding of interventions on ancient sites.
Keywords: Biondo Flavio, Roma instaurata, conservation theory, preservation, restoration, Renaissance preservation practices
