A FUTURE FOR THE PAST: Engineering Sciences to Safeguard and Rediscover Cultural Heritage, Maurizio Seracini

Description

Engineering Sciences are playing an increasing role in conservation, preservation and rediscovery of Cultural Heritage. A survey of some of the most significant and ground breaking contributions of science and technology to Art, Architecture and Archaeology will be presented. New discoveries on Leonardo’s masterpieces and the latest developments on the search for the “Battle of Anghiari" in the Hall of the 500 in Palazzo Vecchio, Florence will be shown. Finally, some unique technologies to improve our interaction with works of art and a novel scientific methodology to guide and manage conservation issues, both developed by the Center of Interdisciplinary Sciences for Art, Architecture and Archaeology, at UCSD, will be introduced.
