The paper focuses on the “house-shack” of Valentino Zeichen (1938-2016), a very famous poet of the roman and Italian cultural scene.
Located in the very heart of Borghetto Flaminio, inside the “cultural” axis of Flaminia Street, the house-shack is a micro-place with a high poetic density deeply in contrast with its architectural and formal inconsistency.

Architectural Restoration between Continuity and Innovation. The Italian proposal

The teaching of restoration has ‘overflowed’ from the discipline of architecture, leading to the enlivening of degree programs in Architectural Engineering and even enriching - extemporaneously, and sometimes seemingly randomly - 'literary' degrees in Cultural Heritage; 'scientific' degrees in Diagnostics; and training (now established as a university degree) in Conservation of Works of Art.

Hormigon armado, restauracion y autenticidad

METHOD

Iron stains on paper. Can electrophoretic removal become an effective alternative to chemical cleaning?

Research in restoration and conservation is directed vs. more sustainable working materials, methods and technologies. Electrophoretic removal, from porous material, of undesired stains due to charged species is theoretically an interesting alternative to chemical cleaning methods, but the lack of specific and comprehensive research work leads to controversial opinions about the efficiency and the needed harmfulness for the treated objects. In this work paper, samples with artificial rust stains were subjected to electrophoretic cleaning treatments in mineral water as electrolyte.

Application of a digital framework towards the comprehension and restoration of the thin marble envelope of the ‘Casa delle Armi’ built cultural heritage
