Conservation Techniques

How can the materiality and authenticity of a work be preserved? How can the success of treatment be scientifically verified? These are just some of the questions that define our research in the field of Conservation Techniques. 

This field of research focuses on the conservation, restoration and valorisation of works of art and cultural heritage. The aim is to develop materials and processes that effectively slow down the aging process of these works, enabling their continued use, while also preserving their authenticity and considering ethical and historical aspects.
