The concepts of Cultural Heritage and Culture more in general are increasingly linked to conscious development, for which they constitute an irreplaceable driving force. Investments in these sectors generate social and economic returns that are now universally recognised.

HYDEA has long established itself as an advisor in the fields of cultural heritage protection, valorisation and dissemination. More recently, the areas of intervention have expanded to include museums, cultural tourism and culture in a broader sense.

All the process has taken place in a context of an increased attention paid by funding bodies, public authorities or international donors, to the values that culture and heritage represent in terms of sustainable and conscious development. For instance, it happens more and more frequently that an infrastructure project is also considered in the light of minimizing the impact on social and cultural fabric of the territory interested by the intervention.

HYDEA’s activities go beyond the national territory, where HYDEA has been repeatedly involved in projects of restoration and renovation of historical buildings, as the company offers technical assistance and institutional advisorship worldwide.
