The historic town is a monument, a witness of history, of its communitarian development and social and economic culture. Within different cultures of the world the concept of "historic town" finds different interpretations and definitions. Particularly today, in the West as in the East, the "historic town" is a point of extensive debate on the possible dialogue between historic architecture and contemporary architecture. Certainly the "historic town" represents a cultural heritage where the word culture is a heritage of old and new ideas, a multicultural dialogue of large social values establishing a relationship between history and modernity.
Under this premise, the main objective of the monograph has been to investigate and explore the different cognitive approaches and methodologies to define the concept of the “historic town”, to plan its valorisation and most importantly its continuity into the future. The scientific contributions strongly highlight the different cultural approaches between the West and East as made evident through theoretical research, projects and construction.

The historical survey and preservation strategies of modern architecture are being gradually associated with sustainability, while twentieth-century buildings are becoming an integral part of multiple strategies for the development of urban landscapes. Today, new critical perspectives and protection policies contribute to the deployment of projects related to the study, classification, listing, conservation and promotion of modern architecture.
These issues are confronted in Time Frames: Conservation Policies for Twentieth-Century Architectural Heritage (Routledge, 2017) by exploring the policies used to designate buildings as heritage sites worldwide. The editors of the book focus on the so-called ‘time rule’ which elapses between a building’s construction and its protection, if it exists. What emerges is a variable definition of what is “contemporary”, ie architecture which has not yet become “historic”.
Fontanellato, dunque, come specifico centro storico emiliano: borgo in sé quasi perfetto: proprio per questo deve essere ora “riconosciuto” attraverso strade diverse da quella di una sua prevedibile musealizzazione, che piò significare spesso perdita di vita e immobilità. La questione posta è quindi quella dello sviluppo dei piccoli centri storici, sospesi tra un passato presunto glorioso e un futuro incerto, in cui predominante diventa il tema dell’identità.
Grande è la nostra responsabilità in quanto architetti, professionisti che dovrebbero essere in grado di valutare i bisogni che i luoghi esprimono per giungere a una sintesi proponendo soluzioni in grado di coinvolgere la città e le persone.
