Multi-analytical study of the medieval wall paintings from the rupestrian church Grotta del Crocifisso at Lentini (eastern Sicily): new evidence of t…

2022

AbstractThis study presents the results of the examination and characterisation of the wall paintings that decorate the rupestrian church named Grotta del Crocifisso, which is located in the territory of Lentini (eastern Sicily, few tens of kilometres from Catania and Syracuse). The earliest mural paintings in the church date back to the twelfth century AD. A multi-analytical approach was adopted for the characterisation of stone materials, secondary degradation products, and pigments. For this purpose, the following techniques were used: reflected light microscopy (RLM), polarised light microscopy on thin sections (PLM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP),…

Consolidation and protection by nanolime: recent advances for the conservation of the graffiti, Carceri dello Steri Palermo and of the 18th century l…

2014

Abstract Nanolime dispersed in 2-propanol was extensively used for the consolidation of wall paintings. The knowledge of the advances of this methodology dealing with all the possible effects associated with the nanolime new material in conservation is fundamental to assess and improve the technique. In this paper, four different dispersions of Ca(OH) 2 nanoparticles were characterised by Small Angle X-rays Scattering technique (SAXS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) in order to achieve information on size, shape, polydispersity, agglomeration, and crystal structure (by SAED patterns) of the particles. Once characterised, the dispersions were tested in two different case studies, …

Spectroscopic analysis used to uncover the original paint colour of the Helsinki Government Palace tower clock faces

2016

The paint stratigraphy of the two clock faces from the tower clock of the Government Palace in Helsinki (Finland) was analysed in order to determine their original colour before restoration works. Paint cross-section samples from both clock faces were analysed by confocal Raman microscopy and scanning electron microscopy coupled to an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDS). The results revealed the complex superimposition of paint layers applied over the original black colour. FTIR/ATR analyses proved that the original paint was prepared with linseed oil-resin media. Most likely not all of the different layer colours were visible. Some of the layers were likely to have been a primer…

Forme e significati dell'architettura nei dipinti, tra Xv e XVIII secolo

2012

I legami e le interazioni tra pittura e architettura hanno origini antiche e propongono durante tutta l’età moderna una immensa casistica di occasioni e momenti di confronto dialettico tra le due arti. Una delle vie di questo dialogo passa per la rappresentazione pittorica di soggetti architettonici. La gamma delle modalità e delle scale di raffigurazione dell’architettura nei dipinti è molto ampia,. Si passa cioè da rappresentazioni nelle quali le immagini architettoniche, siano esse di interni o di esterni, entrano nella finzione pittorica per contestualizzare un racconto, al loro assurgere a protagoniste della scena, sotto diverse forme e con diversi gradi di approfondimento, caricate no…

La Casina cinese alla Favorita di Palermo: un'ipotesi di lettura.

2016

L'articolo verte su un'ipotesi interpretativa della componente decorativa della Casina cinese alla Favorita di Palermo basata sulla componente "alla cinese" e su una sua densa natura confuciana. The paper offers a hypothesis of interpretation of the decorative patterns of the Casina cinese at the Favorita Park in Palermo which is based on the component "in Chinese style" that is characterized by a strong Confucian element.

Il nobile casato dei Ventimiglia e Donna Felice Ventimiglia Barberini

2017

Nella prima parte del saggio (R.F. Margiotta, Il nobile casato dei Ventimiglia dalla Liguria alla Sicilia) si delinea la storia dei Ventimiglia, provenienti dalla Liguria, insediatisi in Sicilia sin dal Duecento, da Francesco I a Francesco IV Rodrigo, padre di Felice Ventimiglia, e ci si sofferma sulle opere più rappresentative da loro commissionate. Nella seconda parte (M.C. Di Natale, Felice Ventimiglia Barberini dal principato di Castelbuono a Roma) si prende in esame la figura di donna Felice Ventimiglia e se ne ripercorrono le vicende della vita attraverso due significativi documenti: l'inventario dotale della nobildonna, stilato nel 1693, in occasione delle nozze con il principe di pa…

I DIPINTI MURALI STACCATI: CRITICITÀ E NUOVE PROPOSTE

2015

La tesi di Laurea Magistrale a ciclo unico, in "Conservazione e Restauro dei Beni Culturali", della Dottoressa Nicoletta Chiparo, riguarda l'intervento di restauro di un lacerto di dipinto murale staccato, di età paleocristiana, raffigurante un'orante; l’approccio alle problematiche di conservazione del dipinto murale ha suggerito l’avvio di una ricerca bibliografica e di laboratorio sui materiali per la realizzazione degli strati di sacrificio per i dipinti murali staccati. Il dipinto murale, di provenienza incerta e delle dimensioni di cm. 60 di h, cm. 41.5 di larg. mm. 1-3 di sp., rappresenta una figura femminile orante che, per la resa del volto, dei particolari dell’acconciatura e la c…

The impact of arthropods on fungal community structure in Lascaux Cave

2009

Aims: To determine the major components of the fungal population present in Lascaux Cave, France. The ceiling, walls, sediments and soil were colonized by Fusarium solani in 2001 and later, in 2006, black stains appeared. However, the origin of the successive fungal invasions is unknown as well as the ecology of the cave. Methods and Results: The primers nu-SSU-0817F and nu-SSU-1536R were used for the direct amplification of fungal 18S-rDNA sequences from 11 samples. A total of 607 clones were retrieved. Eight out of the ten most abundant phylotypes corresponded to fungi associated with arthropods and represented about 50% of the clones. Conclusions: Entomophilous fungi play an important ro…
