True artistic spirit does not only concern the creation of new objects but also, and above all, the good maintenance and restoration of existing ones. Whether it is an environment to be upgraded or an object to be brought back to life, only a skilful hand of craftsmanship allows the survival of precious places and artefacts, in Venice more than elsewhere. Nowadays it is more and more common to have to turn over a new leaf by disposing of objects, whereas in the past techniques and materials were more suitable for artistic recovery, allowing better understandings and eco-sustainability.
