Art/Literary - Archaeology / | | Italian term or phrase: grembo | Context : Gli esempi forniti sono per lo più simboli negativi di una tendenza considerata accettabile, l’anastilosi, che qui risulta invece essere “un’arbitraria e approssimata ricomposizione di tutto ciò che la storia ha smembrato, infranto, decomposto e finito per macinare nel proprio stesso ***grembo***”
The quoted passage is taken from a recent architecture restoration handbook. |

| bowels
Explanation:

| womb
Explanation:
I know you were looking for a non-literal translation. But, it seems all this stuff is ground up to become something new (= reborn?) So, I actually think the meaning is close to "womb".
