A12 The conservation of cultural heritage did not begin with musical instruments.

The foundations have been formulated in the so called "Carta del Restauro" later adapted to the different subject areas.
Prof. Achim Hubel, born 1945 in Munich, specialist for the architectural cultural heritage at the University of Bamberg. Strongest rhetorical performances in memory. Lectures for to take notes not fast enough, representations of the great epoch-border relationships, as well as moving and unsparing analysis of eyesores, documenting both complete incomprehension and brazen ruthlessness and consulting resistance. Preservationists show, as the job title already suggests, personal commitment and concern, because every loss is final and irretrievable in it's kind. Who is not willing to move against the spirit of time and to develop as a fighter, may well be able to perform moving grave speeches, but for this job he is not adequate. Hence the need of persuasion and the flaming speech.
Concerning the instruments the situation is mirror like. Original instruments are rare, interventions typically coarse and totally ignorant concerning of the original intention. Legendary fakes were made by Leopoldo Franciolini. Himself-creations are made by using original parts, so he left behind and a wide swath of destruction. This lack of care is also found in the scientific field. Just think of the repeated erroneous translations of the adage on the spinet of Giulia Varano at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
Cultural Property in this regard linguistically dismantled, makes access almost impossible. Therefore, Heritage conservation also here means: "Resist the beginnings!"
