This book represents a reflection on the policies of preservation
that were established and interventions for restoration that
occurred in Iran before and in the years after the Khomeinist
Revolution, as well as being an analysis of the impact that Italian
restoration culture has had in the country. Research concerning the
state of conservation and the ongoing restoration of the Armenian
churches in the Khoy and Salmas areas is included, along with
precise documentation of the observation of the two cities, their
architecture and the context of their landscape. The problems of
architectural restoration in present-day Iran and the compatible
use of buildings no longer intended for worship are addressed. The
book is bolstered by first-hand documentation obtained through
inspections and interviews with Iranian specialists during three
missions carried out between 2016 and 2018 and a large anthology of
period texts that have only recently been made available for the
first time for study in electronic form, including travel reports
written by Westerners describing Persia between the 15th and 19th
centuries.
