Even the Campanile of Giotto was under “chipping & cleaning, &putting in new bits, which though they are indeed of the pattern of the old ones, are entirely wanting in the peculiar touch & character of the early chisel. So that it is no longer Giotto - it is a copy... whose power of addressing the feelings as a whole, is quite gone.”(136) What should be done then with these historic buildings in order not to lose their historical values? Ruskin wrote in June 1845, “This I would have. Let them take the greatest possible care of all they have got, & when care will preserve it no longer, let it perish inch by inch, rather than retouch it.” (137)
