Hall 4 – Booth B 020

Once again this year, there will be a space dedicated to the restoration and conservation of ancient and modern works of arts. It is an actual workshop for the restoration of paintings on canvas and board and wood artworks set up inside Hall 4, Booth B 020.
As usual, we will be available for maintenance and restoration work and to provide advice about the works displayed at the exhibition, whether still to be purchased or already in the possession of visitors, collectors, and antiquarians from Italy and abroad. Through an analysis of the constituent elements and of the execution technique of every single artefact it will be possible to develop a restoration project. The highly-specialized restorers, with ministerial qualification, will work and welcome visitors and operators in the sector, providing a personalized consultancy, a complete service of free investigations through diagnostic instruments (UV, IR video microscope analysis) and restoration work on the artworks.
This edition will also introduce a series of meetings entitled: “culture and method of restoration projects” dedicated to prime examples of restoration work and enhancement of our cultural heritage, presenting restored works of art on canvas and on board and carved wood artefacts.
The project aims to spread and support restoration culture by showing the high-quality results that can be achieved through up-to-date and correct planning and restoration methods. It is a work methodology that focuses on the research aspect and preliminary investigative stage, drawing on the wide spectrum of skills of all the different operators involved: art historians, restorers, cultural heritage diagnosticians and chemists.
