Saggio dotto e rigoroso che analizza un concetto fondamentale per interpretare il rapporto tra il passato e il presente (e il futuro, come si dice fin dal titolo) dell'arte e dei valori culturali a essa legati.

A spirited defense of the need to think of Venice as a permanent treasured home of its longtime residents and not a destination for tourism and commercial interests.

Venezia come laboratorio del destino delle altre città storiche. Il turismo la consuma, enormi masse di persone la attraversano senza capire nulla di lei. Un libro che descrive una situazione, tragica. "La bellezza non è una merce, ma un patrimonio spirituale". Avrà una vita, questa spiritualità, o rimarranno soltanto la merce ed il denaro?

Excellent examination of a number of issues facing the future of the historic city of Venice (and by extension other historic cities in the rest of Italy and the world). Tourism, declining population, political graft, corporate irresponsibility, and lack of architectural ethics are among the issues discussed. Settis also speaks on what it means to be a city. My copy through a subscription to New Vessel Press.
