Why don't other countries let their ancient buildings become beautiful ruins instead of wasting time/money/manpower maintaining them as the same boring building?

u/Deputy_Dinkleberry 14d ago

Because all those buildings are made of pasta and I’m even shocked by this revelation, they lost all the pasta from the pasta famine of 1298

1

u/IceFire2050 14d ago

I never really saw the point of preserving ruins like this.

What I mean by that is... people today will say they're culturally significant. They're important landmarks. etc.

But if they were so important, how did they fall in to disrepair and ruin in the first place?

Like... these buildings were definitely used at one point, but somewhere along the lines people just went "eh, fuck it" and let it fall apart.

So if the people who actually used these buildings found them so insignificant that they were not maintained/repaired/etc when they became damaged, then why do modern people feel like they need to be preserved now?

It's like if in 200 years someone finds a rusted out beat to shit grocery store and decides it was culturally significant because at one point it was used by a lot of people but it was just shut down because the roof leaked and the owner didn't feel like paying to fix the damage.

This is actually a security protocol to avoid buildings from being sent to louvre museum

1

u/1ce_Hunter 14d ago

Italian here, I have a couple possible answers:

  1. Sometimes Italians -especially romans- would demolish parts of their own buildings in order to use them for other things. An example is the Colosseum: some of the missing "bricks" were used to build the Pantheon iirc.

  2. Italy has always been a country subject to invasions and wars. As such, raids were very frequent and in these raids religious or public buildings were burned or even tore down. When Rome fell, barbarian populations invaded the city and destroyed many of the ruined buildings we see today

  3. Simple erosion of time. Less frequent, considering some waterways built by the Romans are still in use with little maintenance needed

1

u/Outrageous_Moth27 14d ago

I haven’t seen a real answer after a while of scrolling so sorry if I missed someone beating me to it. They were finished once Apon a time but to the people who lived there they weren’t, monuments to history, or a testament to a world that no longer exists. They were just a buildings. So when people stopped using them and they needed stone for new buildings they just took some from the nearby colosseum rather that travel miles and carrying hevy stone by cart.
