According to the study tour report, “the visit had been expected to enable the acquisition of knowledge for further development of conservation policies, as well as an increased capacity to implement these on the basis of knowledge acquired during the study tour.  This study tour had also been expected to identify, with the Italian authorities, an action plan on the next phases of the Twinning Programme, intended to be a formal and substantive collaboration between the two heritage sites.” more
