The Teaching of the Historical Construction Techniques in the Italian Faculties

This essay deals with the didactics of the historical construction techniques in Italy. It does not deal with the training of the operators as much as with the competences that are considered necessary in order to plan the intervention on ancient buildings. From the result of the research it can be inferred how a huge number of graduation courses foresee teachings are related to the restoration discipline, although often within the humanistic faculties, while those specifically dedicated to the analysis of ancient constructions are very scarce. The declared importance of the existing heritage is, in fact, not reflected in the construction of educational paths adequate for a renewed concept of protection of ancient buildings.
