Abstract
After a long journey that has involved the public administrations of Tuscany, the Ministry of Italian Environment, The Organizations of United Nations, Private Foundations, the ONG’s (Nobrega Foundation, Foundation Romualdo del Bianco, IPOGEA), international experts and scholars gathered at numerous conferences and engaged in pilot projects and experiences, we have arrived at the decision to found the International Institute of Traditional Knowledge. The Institute has the task of creating a database of traditional techniques and sustainable technologies, already started at the prototype stage, which will become the preferred portal and certification system for solutions, good practice, and quality of companies committed to the preservation of landscapes, ecosystems and cultural heritage. Traditional solutions and innovative proposals will have as a channel of diffusion, the network of more than 800 UNESCO sites in the world and an international network of foundations, centres, experts and practitioners. The final seat of the Institute will be the Gualchiere di Remole. The guarantee of maintaining public awareness of this complex, of the restoration, musealization, visitability of the monuments, and of the recovery of the entire area with procedures guided by the utmost respect, the sustainability, and ecocompatibility is a primary objective of the Institute.
