RESTAURO 2025, the 33rd edition of the event, is set to be a significant milestone in the field of cultural heritage. Scheduled to take place in Ferrara, Italy, from May 14 to 16, 2025, this event promises to explore the most pressing issues in the sector, including digitalization, sustainability, and energy efficiency. The event will feature an extensive exhibition area and a rich cultural program that will inspire all stakeholders.
One of the highlights of RESTAURO 2025 is the opening day event, Stati Generali del Restauro, which will gather experts and international personalities. The theme of this year's event is "Memory-Transition," focusing on how past experiences can guide us in valuing our heritage and how transition can shape our future with awareness. On May 14, a study day titled "The Fabric of Saint Peter: Works in Preparation for the Jubilee between Tradition and Innovation" will be held. This day will explore the connection between memory and restoration in preparation for the 2025 Jubilee, with a look at global challenges.
The event will also feature presentations of past study days' proceedings. Notably, "The Landscape in Italy," edited by Carla Di Francesco, and "Restoration and Contemporary Challenges," edited by Alessandro Ippoliti, will be presented. Additionally, the Colosseum Archaeological Park will showcase its revolutionary global 3D geometric relief project for the monument's conservation and valorization.
Lighting technology will play a crucial role at RESTAURO 2025. Enel and AIDI (Italian Association for Lighting) and APIL (Professional Lighting Association) will contribute to discussions on innovations in this sector. The event's organizers have collaborated with key associations in the cultural heritage field to promote inclusive and high-quality dialogue among institutions, companies, and professionals.
Spacious exhibition areas and high-level seminars will provide numerous growth and networking opportunities. RESTAURO 2025 is expected to attract a large number of exhibitors and visitors from around the world.
