Abstract
The use of thermography made it possible to investigate an ancient church viewed from a historical perspective, in order to learn more about its construction characteristics. This non-destructive diagnostic technique enabled a stratigraphic investigation of the structures in elevation to be conducted, resulting in the acquisition of new information and confirming the validity of its use in this complex field of application. This initial phase of knowledge acquisition provided an opportunity to propose a line of study to be conducted through the application of various instruments and techniques, starting with thermography, in accordance with a rational order. Instrumental results of the investigations as they are carried out, might suggest the location of points in which to continue with subsequent investigations, while at the same time defining appropriate guidelines in assessing the results.
期刊介绍:
Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage is an international peer reviewed journal which continues Quaderni di Scienza della Conservazione. Main topics of publication: • Study of the system: artifact-environment-biota • Historical-artistic knowledge of cultural heritage (i.e. author, art movement, period of realization, techniques, society and cultural characteristics, socio-economic context, commissioning, financing, interested public) • History, diagnosis, restoration, maintenance, conservation, valorization, prevention • Document research • Book, codex, and manuscript production in its historical context • Appropriate methodologies and analytical techniques used for the characterization of historical artifacts and evaluation of the conservation state • Environmental monitoring: assessment of atmospheric pollution and correlated degradation of monuments and historical-artistic sites • Micro and macroclimatic monitoring in confined areas (i.e. museums, libraries, archives, churches, galleries…) • Art diagnostics and evaluation of the authentication of art works • Art market and auction houses • Experiences in cultural heritage conservation • Evaluation of the suitability of products for restoration, conservation, and maintenance of works of art • Information science and cultural heritage: data processing and cataloguing methods • Virtual re-elaboration and use of historical artifacts and environments • Study, valorization and digitalization of archive and library heritage • Environmental context and technical-conservative issues related to historic architecture • Virtual or traditional conservation, cataloguing and processing of photographs • Various other topics including education, safeguard, education, legislation, economics, social aspects, management, marketing, interdisciplinarity, internationalization, etc.
