  • This article examines a little-known passage of the various and indisputable contributions of the work of Camillo Boito and Gustavo Giovannoni to the development of a theory of restoration for built heritage: the links between the Western ideological context that are present in its conceptualizations and the way in which their proposals were used to articulate new theoretical enclaves outside the European sphere. In particular, we closely examine the way in which some of their conceptual and methodological foundations were translated and adapted for the elaboration of a hybrid theory of restoration of archaeological monuments in the 1970s in Mexico, as seen in the work of Augusto Molina Montes.
