The article describes the decline of the model for a professional Superintendent of Monuments as imposed by the Bottai reform in the 1930s. After the Second World War, local bureaucracies seemed to react positively, relying on resources such as personal involvement, individual responsibility and a sense of belonging to an administrative elite. Paradoxically, the decline of the image of the officials occurred during the exceptional post-war reconstruction period. Topics related to work ethics, authority, and social approval are discussed. |
