Its actions include interventions for the protection of monuments, historic buildings and the landscape, research and educational programs and information and awareness activities. MONUMENTA’s work includes interventions in cases of demolitions and alterations of historic buildings and complexes, ancient monuments at risk, answering in most cases to citizens’ appeals.
