As part of the conservation activities promoted by the Parco archeologico del Colosseo, a joint study and restoration project has been developed focusing on several marble architectural fragments from the Roman Forum, which has been incorporated into a degree thesis at the Istituto Centrale per il Restauro (dott. ssa Simona Dichiara, Relatori: Luciana Festa ICR, Angelica Pujia PArCo, PFP1 \u2013 ANNO ACCADEMICO 2019\/2020). The fragments consist of a fluted column in pavonazzetto marble and three fragments of a Corinthian capital in white marble, dating from between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.<\/p>\n
These fragments, exposed to the open air and in direct contact with the ground, show signs of deterioration due to prolonged exposure to atmospheric agents. The surfaces were marked by biological patina, erosion and disintegration of the stone, fractures, flaking and gaps. In several areas, there were also black crusts due to atmospheric pollution.<\/p>\n
The experimental diploma thesis consists of a preliminary phase of study and documentation, which includes geometric and photographic surveys, visual and diagnostic analyses of the constituent materials and degradation phenomena, as well as scientific laboratory investigations. The results of these investigations make it possible to define the characteristics of the materials and to develop a methodology for intervention that respects the principles of compatibility, reversibility and minimal intervention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
