Abstract

This article analyzes the constructive history of the Palazzo Comunale of Saluzzo (Cuneo, Italy) in relation to the intervention carried out in the period 1999-2013, in which only two phases of its extensive constructive history were privileged and combined. By analyzing this case, we can reflect on different aspects to consider in the architectural restoration project, from those that a priori seem to be more pragmatic as the choice of a destination of use without taking into account the characteristics of the building itself to others that are more theoretical, such as our concept of identity or the decision to privilege some construction phases over others, denying the possibility of a different reading of the history of the building in the future.
