Anti-fouling additives for the consolidation of archaeological mortars in underwater environment: Efficacy tests performed on the apsidal fishpond of…
2020
This paper deals with the formulation of innovative mortars for the consolidation of archeological structures in underwater environment. The research was conducted within the frame of the MaTaCoS project (Advanced materials and technologies applied to the conservation of underwater cultural heritage) funded by MISE (Italian Ministry of Economic Development). The project concerns the design of advanced tools and methods for the protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage, through specific cleaning and consolidating procedures to be applied directly in situ. The fishpond of the archaeological site of Castrum Novum (Santa Marinella, Rome, Italy) was chosen as a pilot site for experimentation. I…
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),…
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…
THE SAN VITO WOODEN PULPIT FROM MUSEO DIOCESANO OF PALERMO, ITALY: MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH AND ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR DATING AND RESTORATION
2017
The aim of the present research is to investigate the constitutive materials and the execution techniques of San Vito wooden pulpit from Museo Diocesano of Palermo (Italy) and to provide helpful information to dating it in addition to technical, historical and artistic evaluations. The pulpit, attributed to unknown artist, belongs to the decorative arts and the most relevant feature is its double dating, in addition to the singular painting technique: it has a linear structure typical of XIXth century and three polychrome and gilded panels probably dated to the end of XVIIth century. This paper describes the application of analytical techniques (imaging diagnostics techniques, Scanning Elec…
Il Progetto ATENA: Applicazione di metodologie innovative per la conservazione di manufatti metallici e ceramici da scavo archeologico e per il recup…
2007
Qui di seguito viene illustrato il progetto scientifico ATENA, svolto presso l'Istituto per lo Studio dei Materiali Nanostrutturati (ISMN) del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) e co-finanziato dal MIUR con Decreto Direttoriale 9-10-2002, n. 1105/2002. Il progetto si propone di applicare avanzate tecniche diagnostiche strumentali al fine di acquisire la dettagliata conoscenza microchimica e microstrutturale di manufatti metallici e ceramici antichi, di definirne il meccanismo di alterazione e/o degrado e di progettare, sintetizzare e validare opportuni prodotti e formulazioni per il restauro conservativo di tali manufatti. Le conoscenze acquisite sono utilizzabili anche per il recuper…
MODELLI DI STUDIO DI BIOMARKERS PER LA VALUTAZIONE DEL RISCHIO DI CONTAMINAZIONE DA NANOPARTICELLE D’ARGENTO NEL SUOLO (PROGETTO INESE)
2013
Il progetto “Impact of Nanoparticles in Environmental Sustainability and Ecotoxicity” (INESE), finanziato dall’Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), ha studiato gli effetti delle nanoparticelle (NPs) ingegnerizzate su diversi ecosistemi (acquatici e terrestri), proponendo differenti sistemi biologici di studio (piante acquatiche, ricci di mare, organismi del suolo, pomodoro-impollinatore, ecc). In particolare l’UO dell’Università di Bologna ha focalizzato l’attenzione sullo studio dei modelli di interazione tra particelle di suolo, microorganismi (biomassa microbica), invertebrati (Lumbricus rubellus) e pianta (Solanum lycopersicum). In questa sede verranno riportati i risultati ottenuti d…

Polychrome wood sculpture depicting The Madonna del Soccorso or della Mazza from the Archdiocese of Palermo: an integrated analytical approach for th…
2018
In this study the Madonna del Soccorsoo della Mazza wooden sculpture has been analysed by an interdisciplinary and integrated approach. The polychrome sculpture, dating back to the 18thcentury, comes from the church of the Madonna del Soccorso or della Mazza (1604) situated in Via Maqueda, in Palermo and it was placed on the main recess of the altar. All steps of the conservation project, from the preliminary study to the choice of materials and the restoration procedures have been accompanied and supported by diagnostic and scientific analysis. In order to evaluate the state of conservation of the sculpture and the technique employed to construct the support, computer tomography study was …
Hiukkasherätteinen röntgen-emissio ohutkalvojen analysoinnissa
2013
Tässä tutkielmassa tavoitteena oli analysoida ohutkalvoja hiukkasherätteisellä röntgen-emissiolla (PIXE) käyttäen apuna takaisinsirontaa. Erityisesti tavoitteena oli selvittää pystytäänkö PIXEllä saamaan lisätietoa tilanteissa, joissa pelkän takaisinsironnan avulla ei saada tarkkaa tietoa. Tähän tarkoitukseen tutkittiin kahta eri tapausta: lähekkäisten alkuaineiden suhteen määritys ja pienten epäpuhtauksien määritys. Lähekkäisten alkuaineiden analysoinnissa käytettiin GeCu-näytettä. Täs- sä tapauksessa 1,5 MeV:n takaisinsirontaspektristä ei pystytty erottamaan germaniumin ja kuparin piikkejä, mutta se pystyttiin tekemään 3,0 MeV:n energialla. PIXE-mittauksissa germaniumin ja kuparin piikit …
