Mural Painting Discovered in the Crypt of the Cathedral of Parma (Italy): Multi-Technique Investigations for the Conservative Restoration Project
In October 2021, a mural painting was discovered in the crypt of Parma Cathedral (Italy). It was covered by a wall, erasing it form historical memory. The painting, presumably from the 15th–16th century, depicts the Madonna and Child enthroned in the center, between Saints Peter and John. Before the restoration project, investigations were conducted with different techniques to identify the pigments and binders used, the nature of the surface fin…

Portable XRF: A Tool for the Study of Corundum Gems
Origin of gemstones is a key aspect not only in gemological field but also in Cultural Heritage studies, for the correct evaluation of precious artifacts. The studies on gems require the application of non-invasive and non-destructive methods; among them, portable spectroscopic techniques has been demonstrated as powerful tools, providing a fingerprint of gems for origin and provenance determination. In this study, portable XRF spectroscopy has b…
A Multi‐Analytical Approach to the Study of the Mural Paintings in the Presbytery of Santa Maria Antiqua Al Foro Romano in Rome
This paper presents the results of analyses carried out on three decorative phases of the presbytery of the church of Santa Maria Antiqua al Foro Romano in Rome: the fourth‐century ad mosaics setting bed; the Adoration of the Cross, dated to the papacy of John VII ( ad 705–7); and the paintings in the apse of the Pope Paul I ( ad 757–68) phase. The research allowed the characterization of the painting techniques, pigments, organic compounds and d…
Raman Analysis on 18th Century Painted Wooden Statues
A micro-Raman investigation on four wooden polychrome sculptures of Jan Geernaert (1704-1777), a Flemish sculptor who worked in Italy in the 18th century, is presented. The statues, representing the Holy Virgin Mary, with the infant Jesus in three of them, were created in the period 1750-1770 and are all made by poplar wood. The purpose of the micro-Raman investigations was to identify the original pigments used in 18th century, after later repai…
