With great insight, the author examines the respective interests of the disciplines of restoration and history and the danger of a possible confusion, identification and overlapping of objectives. History understood in restoration as a set of guidelines, a building tool, a theatrical show or a monument to itself provides the keys to analyse and understand many works performed on architectural heritage of the past and the present.
