Investigations with Dibasic Esters: A Green Approach to Varnish Removal from Oil Paintings
Removing altered varnishes and retouching from oil paintings is a delicate and irreversible procedure in the conservation of cultural heritage. Surfactant-free gelled o/w emulsions containing dibasic esters (DBE) provide a green, safe, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional solvent methods. The use of Xanthan gum and polyacrylate as thickening agents successfully restricted solvent diffusion, thereby minimizing the risk of intera…
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…
An analytical study to verify the suitability of free and gelled siloxanes for the treatment of modern oil paintings
A Multi-Instrument Analysis of the Late 16th Canvas Painting, “Coronation of the Virgin with the Saints Ambrose and Jerome”, Attributed to the Tuscany-Umbria Area to Support the Possibility of Bio-Cle…
(1) Background. The aim of this work is to combine non-invasive imaging with chemical characterization analyses to study original and restoration materials of a late 16th-century painting on a canvas representing the “Coronation of the Virgin with the Saints Ambrose and Jerome”, preserved in the Diocesan archive of Orte, a town in the district of Viterbo (Italy). The diagnostic campaign was addressed to support the restoration activities and the …
Enzymes as tools for conservation of works of art
Methodological strategies to assess the degree of bone preservation for ancient DNA studies
Evaluation of the bone preservation state may be an efficient step to predict the presence of DNA in ancient samples prior to aDNA analysis
Pigments and binders in "Madonna col Bambino e S. Giovannino" by Botticelli investigated by micro-Raman and GC/MS
Biomolecular study of the human remains from tomb 5859 in the Etruscan necropolis of Monterozzi, Tarquinia (Viterbo, Italy)
Evidence for a genetic discontinuity between Neandertals and 24,000-year-old anatomically modern Europeans
During the late Pleistocene, early anatomically modern humans coexisted in Europe with the anatomically archaic Neandertals for some thousand years. Under the recent variants of the multiregional model of human evolution, modern and archaic forms were different but related populations within a single evolving species, and both have contributed to the gene pool of current humans. Conversely, the Out-of-Africa model considers the transition between…
Mineralogical and chemical composition of transport amphorae excavated at Locri Epizephiri (southern Italy)
Technological Features of Roman from Gallic and Italian Centres of Production
Fine Ware From Locri Epizephiri: A Provenance Study by Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy
Fifty‐six sherds of fine ware from Locri Epizephiri were analysed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICPOES) and flame emission spectroscopy (FES). The sherds had been excavated on the archaeological areas of Marasà Sud, Centocamere and San Cono, and represent local and imported products from the seventh to the second century BC. The samples were dissolved by fusion with lithium metaborate and analysed for nine elements …
Scientific Analysis of Roman Glass From Augusta Praetoria
Fifty‐five fragments of Roman glass from Augusta Praetoria (Aosta, Italy) were analysed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy determining 15 elements (Si, Na, Ca, Al, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ti, Sr, Ba, Cr, Ni, Cu, Co and Pb) on dissolved samples; in addition, potassium was determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. The analytical results indicate that all the fragments, with one exception, are silica‐soda‐lime glasses; (he exc…
