• Is Everything Heritage? - [original article in english]
  "... ... if a person, a province, a country or the whole world cares enough about something to pass it on to the next generations, then anyone saying to us that there is too much heritage and not enough money to care for it ... ... does not understand what the conservation community stands for."
  
  
• È Qualsiasi Cosa Retaggio? - [italian translation by Giampietro Lea - Venetian Institute]
  "... ... se un individuo, una provincia, una nazione od il mondo intero hanno abbastanza a cuore un qualcosa da volerla trasmettere alla generazione seguente, allora che un individuo venga a dire che esiste già troppo retaggio e non c'è abbastanza denaro per prendersene cura ... ... costui non comprende la ragion d'essere della 'comunità preservatrice'."
