the cultural heritage, the memory of the culture, and the space for
communication between people, so that each city will have its own
personality and characteristics." Professor Gong Liang, Director of
the Council of Nanjing Museum, said there are 13 famous historical
and cultural cities in Jiangsu.
They are the accumulation of history and tradition, and the beauty
of the city's neighborhoods. The cultural relics are integrated
into people's lives.
Nicholaos Stampolidis, General Director of the Acropolis Museum
in Greece,believes the protection of cultural relics is not limited
to the relicsthemselves. He said Greece, like China, is effectively protecting and
promotingcultural heritage in the best possible way.
Genovese Paolo Vincenzo, Italian

cultural protection rules for Italian historic buildings and towns.
He called for a comprehensive and wide-ranging discussion on the
protection of historical heritage in China.

of Athens, explained how to give
new life to the ancient Greek city through video. She took the
Plaka area, the oldest neighborhood in Athens as an example, to describe the
exploration of the protection and renewal of the ancient city.
Today, the area has a dedicated office where anyone can come and
give advice on fixing problems with their house. The protection and
renewal of the ancient city is an ancient and modern topic. The
ancient city needs protection and update. On the premise of
protecting the overall appearance as completely as possible, this
salon focuses on excavating the urban history and humanistic
connotations accumulated in the cultural heritage, and polish the
"golden signboard" of urban cultural tourism.
