The attribution of value to certain vestiges of the past, in Western Europe, found itself directly correlated with the notion of authenticity and progressively tended to the study of the object and later to the conservation of its matter, understood as a material witness in perpetual transformation and the only guarantee to any other possibility of interpretation and conservative intent. This text begins by exploring some historical and conceptual aspects of restoration and the emergence and development of heritage’s tutelage, as it is understood today in Europe, going through several theoretical contributions, in order to delineate significant variations of the theoretical support and the correlated methodologies. It does not revert to the objectives of this synthetic “approach to restoration”, the exhaustive examination of its origins and patrimonial practices in the European context – literature in this field is extensive and current – only evoke some decisive momentsin the evolution of its theoretical and practical organization. The format of the text imposes a limited choice of actors and texts, necessarily arbitrary.
