Yesterday was the International Day of Conservators-Restorers, but indeed these defenders of Cultural Heritage must be saluted every day when they defend and recover cultural heritage even in harsh working conditions; when they educate the new generations to have these same concerns, even when young people don't care; and when they warn and are outraged against attacks on our world cultural heritage
As a Conservator-Restorer, I greet you all!
