Investigations with Dibasic Esters
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)
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…
Chromatic alterations induced by preservation treatments on paper
Artifacts made of paper (books, manuscripts, and other documents) represent a valuable part of cultural heritage. They are particularly fragile compared to other objects due to the multiple physical, chemical, and biological factors able to degrade the paper basic constituents, i.e., cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Moreover, hemicellulose and lignin represent an ideal growth substrate for proliferation of microorganisms and fungi. Regarding…
