The restoration of the world meets in Ferrara

There are now several years in Ferrara takes the Restoration Exhibition, a four-day meeting that discusses the many aspects different from the world of conservation of cultural heritage. Sure enough, as every year, I found myself leafing through the program, recapitatomi home dall'efficientissimo service organization Fair, which holds my data from the first time I went to that of Ferrara-ran the year 2004 ... To be fair, the first and last time, but it is not always easy to find time to take a day off in times of lectures!

This year the program includes some interesting meetings, I have highlighted on my copy of the program and are pleased to share with you, devoted readers of the blog, I'd be equally happy if aggiungeste, in the comments section, meetings / conferences you consider it worthy of note, and maybe, once went to Ferrara, I'd be happy to read your impressions on the event!

The first impression is that I've had this year OPD-faced boss, with numerous meetings and presentations, in collaboration with Nardini Editore, in this case, I find it very interesting meeting "and reflectography great masters Raphael, to be held Saturday, April 5 from 10 Schifanoia to 13 in the Hall. This year (in 2006 after Leonardo and Piero della Francesca in 2007) will be the works of the painter from Urbino to be subjected to thorough session of surveys, completed by the team of the National Institute of Applied Optics in Florence. To use a language to review: NOT TO BE MISSED!

the same day he also held a meeting less scientific, but no less interesting, entitled "A moratorium for restoration," which will address the debate from ' article on October 3 last year in the Republic of work of Salvatore Settis and Carlo Ginzburg, the two art historians, quite ( and deliberately!) provocative wonder whether it is better to stop the restoration, respecting the sacredness of the work, also related to natural aging. It is not my interest in getting to the heart of the matter, also because I do not think being able to give technical advice, as it is well Bonsanti George, Professor of Art History and History of Restoration Techniques at the University of Florence, in his piece that opens Brochures of the Fair. And 'the professor Bonsanti as the promoter of this meeting, which will address the theoretical part of the restoration, the coded years ago by Cesare Brandi in the book "Theory of Restoration . Personally, I find some positions Settis Ginzburg and shared, as I appreciate the openness of Bonsanti, which calls for dialogue between the two factions. With this background, I believe that in Ferrara, on April 5, we will see some good! In addition to

convengni during the Salone del Restauro, there will be many technical meetings, among which I have highlighted:

1. investigations for the restoration of the facade of Santa Maria Novella , April 2, at 11, a major restoration in Florence which has also involved some of our colleagues during their three-year thesis.

2. Leonardo's Last Supper. Surveys, research, restoration , April 3 12 noon it is the presentation of a book edited by Nardini Editore on a great masterpiece at risk.

3. The restoration and scientific research on Our Lady of paper mache J. Sansovino belonging to the Museum of the Bargello , April 4, at 10 am, with great pride, I am very interested in the restoration was completed by the 'Central Institute for Restoration work on Florence.

4. Two cases of restoration: the Decretum Gratiani Malatesta of Cesena to the library and papers of the Decameron preserved in the municipal library Passerini-Landi in Piacenza , April 4, at 10, since my doctoral area of \u200b\u200binterest as the cellulose materials, which can not be attracted by the presentation of the restoration of paper documents, produced by ' Central Institute of Book Pathology .

5. microdispersed systems for the treatment of mural paintings and stone surfaces , April 4, 12:30 am, one of us working on these things and we will work for about three years, so I could only call your attention!

6. Disinfection anoxic and controlled atmospheres , April 5, 12:30, to remind everyone, the three of us first, that there are not only chemical and physical methods, but also biology (micro and macro) provides valuable information for diagnosis and optimal solutions during the restoration / preservation.

There will also be a technical meeting which will be presented the new website Opificio, on which I wrote almost two weeks ago, a post!

Online is available throughout the program, in addition to the piece of Bonsanti moratorium for restoration; my choice I would like to follow-on meetings that thing which I do not know if you can-I made it. Now it's up to you to have your say!

See you in Ferrara!

Happy reading and thanks for the valuable Giancky to report!
