A synergistic approach combining invasive and non-invasive compositional analysis techniques on Italian maiolica tin glazes from Montelupo Fiorentino
This study presents a multi-analytical approach to the study of tin glazes of Italian maiolica aiming to optimise a detailed characterisation of these materials comparing and combining invasive and non-invasive methodologies. First, the application of ion beam analysis (IBA) on tin-glazed ceramics is tested as a non-invasive alternative to scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), which is considered the benchmar…
Multi-Technique Characterization of Antonio Basoli’s Picturesque Views of Bologna
Antonio Basoli’s one hundred Picturesque views of the city of Bologna (1824–1836) include 95 preparatory drawings, 16 of which were executed on oil-impregnated lightweight paper now showing advanced degradation. This study aims to investigate the materials and techniques used by Basoli’s workshop and to develop an evidence-based conservation approach for these fragile works. An integrated analytical methodology combining non-invasive hyperspectra…
Practices and Rules of 16th Century Genoese Gilding
This study investigates the practices and rules of Genoese gilding, drawing insights from a 16th-century manuscript containing regulations for gold leaf production. Employing X-ray and ion beam techniques, we quantitatively assess the manuscript’s gold leaf thickness without destructive sampling. Artisanal goldbeater-produced leaves of different thicknesses, applied with a guazzo or mordant technique, served as standards. Further analysis of samp…
Hearts of gold” (Cuori d'oro)
Characterization of the corami (leather wallcover) of Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia (Rome) . • Techniques for material, structure and preservation state analysis of gilded leather. • IBA and MA-XRF of gilded leather for their material characterization. • SEM-EDX of surface distribution and preservation state of silver in leather wallcover. • Nuclear techniques for the study of historical and artistic cultural heritage items. In this work we present th…
The Ethiopian Magic Scrolls
The Ethiopian magic scrolls are traditional parchment artifacts used by the Christians of Ethiopia as protection against disease and demonic possessions. On the occasion of their restoration in the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Bologna (Italy); a preliminary characterization before the treatments has been performed on four Ethiopian scrolls belonging to the Archivio storico della provincia di Cristo Re dei Frati Minori dell’Emilia Romagna of Bolo…
Assessment of the Costs Related to West Nile Virus Monitoring in Lombardy Region (Italy) between 2014 and 2018
In Italy, the West Nile Virus surveillance plan considers a multidisciplinary approach to identify the presence of the virus in the environment (entomological, ornithological, and equine surveillance) and to determine the risk of infections through potentially infected donors (blood and organ donors). The costs associated with the surveillance program for the Lombardy Region between 2014 and 2018 were estimated. The costs of the program were comp…
Influence of Anthropic Environmental-Related Factors on Erysipelas in Wild Boar
Raman/XRF/EDX microanalysis of 2nd-century stuccoes from Domus Valeriorum in Rome
Surveillance of Mosquitoes and Selected Arthropod-Borne Viruses in the Context of Milan Expo 2015
From 1 May 2015 to 31 October 2015 over 20 million visitors from all over the world visited the Universal Exhibition (EXPO) hosted by Milan (Lombardy region, Italy), raising concerns about the possible introduction of mosquito-borne diseases from endemic countries. The entomological surveillance protocol performed in Lombardy over the last three years was implemented in the EXPO area and in the two major regional airports using both Center for Di…
