Résumé (en anglais)

The Athens Charter of 1931 set forth the first statements on the aesthetics of the surrounding areas of ancient monuments by calling for care in the development of constructions near than citing that “surroundings should be given special consideration”. Settings were to be preserved with picturesque intent avoiding power poles, signs, and other competing elements to preserve the “ancient character” of the monuments. The Venice Charter, 1964, indicates at the outset the importance of defining and preserving not only the monument but the urban or rural setting around it as an expression of the culture. In both of these international charters setting is defined as important but clearly as secondary to the designated historic monument. The ICOMOS-IFLA International Committee for Historic Gardens framed the Florence Charter on 21 May 1981 as an addendum to the Venice Charter addressing the value of historic gardens as monuments in and of themselves.
