From Waste to Value
With increasing geopolitical risks, environmental pressures, and regulatory demands, the sustainable sourcing of raw materials has become a global priority for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). This study presents a data‐driven framework for assessing the substitution of impor…
Environmental Trade-Offs Between Essential Oil and Quaternary Ammonium Biocides in Cultural Heritage Conservation
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) have dominated biocidal practice in cultural heritage conservation for decades, yet growing evidence of environmental persistence, aquatic ecotoxicity, and antimicrobial resistance induction has prompted the search for safer alternatives. Essential oils (EO) have emerged as promising bio-based biocides, though their environmental performance has rarely been quantified through rigorous life cycle approaches. Th…
A Comprehensive Protocol for the Life Cycle Assessment of Green Systems for Painting Cleaning
The environmental sustainability of cleaning materials used in heritage conservation remains poorly quantified despite growing attention to the replacement of hazardous petroleum-based solvents with bio-based alternatives. This study applies a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCIA) to compare conventional solvents with innovative bio-based formulations, including Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs), Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES), and aqueous or o…
Non-Invasive and Micro-Invasive Analyses for Supporting the Attribution of Three 17th Century Wooden Crucifixes
This research deals with a multi-analytical approach to characterise three polychrome wooden crucifixes attributed to Fra’ Umile da Petralia or, in one case, close to his style. The analysed wooden sculptures belong to (1) the Sanctuary of Saint Umile from Bisignano (Cosenza, Italy); (2) the Santissimo Crocifisso Church at Cutro (Crotone, Italy); (3) the Saint Salvatore Church at Gangi (Palermo, Italy). Fra’ Umile (Giovanni Francesco Pintorno) wa…
Mortars and plasters-how to manage mortars and plasters conservation
The use of mortars and plasters has been widespread in many cultures for thousands of years and these materials are found in the vast majority of built cultural heritage. They play a crucial role in the preservation of immovable heritage and must be taken into great consideration when conserving historical buildings. Plasters and mortars have been extensively studied from a chemical and mineralogical point of view. The main causes and mechanisms …
Mortars and plasters - How to characterize mortar and plaster degradation
The degradation of mortars and plasters can represent a threat for their preservation. That is why a deep understanding of the degradation mechanisms and the identification of degradation patterns is strongly recommended for who is in charge of conservation of archaeological sites and of built heritage in general. Here, it has been described what are the main degrading agents that can be detected on mortars and plasters and how they act to produc…
A methodological approach to define the state of conservation of the stone materials used in the Cairo historical heritage (Egypt)
Comparative study of protective coatings for the conservation of Urban Art
Consolidation of earthen building materials
An archaeometric approach of historical mortars taken from Foligno City (Umbria, Italy)

Multi-analytical study of Roman frescoes from Villa dei Quintili (Rome, Italy)
Micro‐Raman And Micro‐Stratigraphic Analysis Of The Painting Materials In The Rock‐Hewn Church Of The Forty Martyrs In Şahinefendi, Cappadocia (Turkey)
This paper presents the results of analyses carried out on the paintings on the rock‐hewn walls of the Forty Martyrs church at Şahinefendi in Cappadocia (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), a central region of Turkey, performed during conservation work from 2007 to 2012. The micro‐samples were investigated by spectroscopic, micro‐stratigraphic and scanning electron microscopy analysis in order to study the painting technique, the materials and the deg…
Limestone Provenance in Roman Lime‐Volcanic Ash Mortars from the Villa dei Quintili, Rome
Roman mortars were collected from the Villa dei Quintili in Rome, an archaeological site consisting of numerous edifices from nine construction phases dating from the 2nd century A.D. to modern times. A multianalytical approach was used on 34 mortar samples to infer the evolution of production techniques over time and to identify the source area of calcareous raw materials used in the preparation of the lime. Optical microscopy, scanning electron…
A Multidisciplinary Approach for the Archaeometric Study of Pozzolanic Aggregate in R oman Mortars
This contribution focuses on the study of historical mortars from a Roman archaeological site known as V illa dei Q uintili , a monumental villa located in the south‐eastern part of R ome ( I taly). The study was carried out on 38 mortar samples, collected from several edifices within the complex. A multi‐analytical approach, including polarized optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy‐dispersive system and laser ablat…
