Abstract

The proposed contribution aims to foster reflections and considerations on the hypothesis of a scientific glossary for restoration projects in response to new climatic, natural, and anthropogenic risks. The ongoing changes increasingly push for multidisciplinary approaches involving the entire scientific community to define the most appropriate actions for the protection and conservation of cultural heritage. Hence, here is born the study of a common language that allows communication among the actors involved in the restoration project. The contribution specifically analyzes the Italian context from the 1970s with the unique example of the NorMaL Commission. Its multidisciplinary work led to a series of "recommendations" on the study of unified methodologies for the safeguarding of stone materials and architectural artifacts in their entirety, contributing to the development of regulations at the Italian and, subsequently, the European levels. The commission's work shows that, for a better definition of safeguarding actions for heritage, it is necessary to equip oneself with specific tools that allow dialogue among researchers from different scientific fields. This is highlighted in the first document produced by the Commission concerning the definition of a series of lemmas, NorMaL 1/80 - Alterazioni macroscopiche dei materiali lapidei: Lessico, subsequently updated. From here arises the question of whether it is necessary to update the tools available today to improve dialogue within the scientific community in defining the discussed intervention methodologies, considering new anthropogenic natural risks and climate change.
