Abstract
In Cultural Heritage domain, information such as artistic techniques, paint materials, presence of cracks, damages or weaknesses, ecc. are essential for selecting the most appropriate restoration and conservation actions. This study shows some relevant results about samples taken from some musical instruments of Correr Museum’s collection in Venice: Contrabass (Venice, XVIII century), Organo of Lorenzo Guarnasco da Pavia (1494), painted Spinet of Franciscus Patavinus (Padua,1552), ecc. Analyses were carried out using Stereomicrospe, Polarized light microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) combined with an EDXRS system (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry) for chemical microanalysis of painted surface and materials.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
