Cultural Heritage
In the last years our research group performed many analysis of artworks present in Parma and surroundings as a support for the restorers and to contribute to the knowledge of the artworks and their history. |
|
In particular we performed Raman, FTIR and XRF analysis on the following subjects:
Botticelli's Tondo
Madonna col Bambino e S. Giovannino
Palazzo Farnese in Piacenza. |
 |
|
S. Giovanni Evangelista Abbey:
Wall paintings by Parmigianino, Correggio, Michelangelo Anselmi, Gerolamo Bedoli, Rondani (XVI century).
