An Experimental Study on the Consolidation of Earthen Surfaces Using Nanoparticle-Based Products
This paper presents the results of research conducted as part of a bilateral cooperation project between National Research Council (Italy) and Chinese Academy of Cultural Heritage (China) for the conservation of the earthen walls of Ancient Ulanbay City (Xinjiang, China). In 2007 and 2012, conservation interventions were carried out on the remains of the ancient walls, focusing on areas at risk of collapse. This involved the construction of new a…
In situ long-term monitoring of microbial patinas on the external marble of Florence Cathedral after treatments with essential oils
Controlling the biological patina on stones is challenging. • Essential oils (EOs), like thyme and oregano, showed biocidal properties. • EOs treatments were assessed for long-term impact on Florence Cathedral's marble. • (In situ) treatment evaluation through ATP content, colorimetry, and microscopy. • Thyme with oregano EOs solution at 2 % was the best long-lasting treatment. The control of biological patinas on cultural heritage stones is a ch…
Historical Use of Travertine in the Tuscan Architecture (Italy)
The landscape of an area is not only made up of natural elements but also of man-made elements represented by civil and agricultural artefacts and much more. These elements used to blend aesthetically and harmoniously with the landscape itself thanks to the use of local building materials. Particularly, this contribution examines the use of the travertine in the architecture of the Tuscany region from the Etruscan time to the contemporary age. In…
Brightly Colored to Stay in the Dark. Revealing of the Polychromy of the Lot Sarcophagus in the Catacomb of San Sebastiano in Rome
The Lot Sarcophagus is one of the most relevant funerary sculptures of late antiquity (mid-4th century AC). Some of the remarkable aspects are the following (i) it is still preserved in situ; (ii) most of the carved scenes are rarities or unicum; (iii) not all the sculpture work has been completed, which allows us to analyse the executive process; (iv) many traces of polychromy have remained. This paper is focused on the characterization of the r…
The dark colour of the Ploutonion at Hierapolis of Phrygiae (Turkey)
The dark colour of some excavated architectural elements of the Ploutonion , in the archaeological site of Hierapolis of Phrygiae (Turkey), was investigated. The Ploutonion , visited by numerous ancient writers, such as Cicero and Strabo, was a sanctuary dedicated to Pluto and Kore, constructed during the early Imperial period above the entrance to a natural cave, from which thermal waters and poisonous gases emerge. It was used for sacred ritual…
