This book aims to shed light on the roots of sustainability in the Iberian Peninsula that lie in the interrelations between shipbuilding and forestry from the 14th to the 19th centuries, combining various geographical scales (local, regional and national) and different timespans (short-term and long-term studies).

Prendendo come modello di riferimento l'Osservatorio delle Arti Decorative “Maria Accascina” (Università degli Studi di Palermo), questo progetto editoriale si propone di valorizzare le arti decorative e promuoverne la presenza negli studi di Storia dell'Arte, sia a livello nazionale che internazionale. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, un gruppo di professionisti specializzati in diverse discipline (oreficeria, tessitura, ceramica...) provenienti da entrambi i paesi, Italia e Spagna, hanno collaborato per presentare i loro ultimi progressi, tra cui spiccano: Carmen Heredia (Università di Alcalá de Henares), Manuel Pérez Sánchez (Università di Murcia) o Benedetta Montevecchi (Università di La Sapienza).
