Abstract

The Heritage Office of Canton Ticino in collaboration with the Conservation Restoration study program of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) and the Italian partners of the Interreg V-A MAIN10ANCE initiative is working to introduce good practices to implement long-term conservation plans to care for immovable heritage. These plans are particularly effective when developed from the beginning of a project and regularly applied after the intervention is completed. For this reason, the term ‘post-treatment monitoring and maintenance’(PTMM) programs is used. The research team is introducing these practices on a pilot project at the Sacro Monte of Orselina where conservation of both the buildings and the surrounding natural areas was recently completed. The example of Orselina will be a model for promoting the adoption of PTMM plans in every future conservation-restoration action on immovable heritage in the Canton.
