Resumen: El presente texto —originalmente concebido como una conferencia dictada en el Festival Puerto de Ideas (Valparaíso, 2012)— es una notable síntesis de la historia del patrimonio italiano y de su preocupante vulnerabilidad. En sus breves páginas se exponen didácticamente conceptos claves tales como «paisaje», «patrimonio» y «tutela», todos ellos contribuyen a formar una conciencia crítica e invitan a una «acción popular» que cambie el destino trágico de nuestro entorno.
