The relationship with history, between contemporary architecture and the historical sites, is the narrative thread of the different themes faced by the various authors assuming a broader visual prospective determined by the heterogeneous points of view by which the central theme is developed. Therefore, the book becomes a discussion through articles between Italy and Israel, an exchange and comparison between two different realities with the same pro-cess of architectural and historical preservation: a reference for some, an advice for others. As it deals with some still “hanging” themes some nerves are confronted, uncovered by approaches with differences and some affinities, as the Italian and the Israeli ones, where architecture and history are the nucleus in which (around which) the dialogue between these two cultural realities develops. A common reflection and not a mutual judgment.
