Answer

Why is provenance research important for historic properties in Mallorca?

Provenance research helps establish where objects came from, who owned them, and whether they are tied to difficult or criminal histories. In Mallorca, that matters when a house or its furnishings are linked to people involved in National Socialism or other troubling periods. It gives context and helps avoid turning private objects into unexamined symbols.
