Così si possono salvare i monumenti
dai terremoti
Cesare Brandi
In this article, published in one of the main Italian newspaper, the «Corriere della Sera», Cesare Brandi, former director of the ICR, strongly supports Urbani’s decision to withdrawn from the position of director of the ICR in 1983. This was the very same year when Urbani inaugurated his reknown exhibition La protezione del patrimonio monumentale dai terremoti (whose catalogue is republished as a whole in this Predella issue). Brandi recognizes in this moment the beginning of the ICR decline.
