A detailed material testing were made before the conservation project of the János Arany statues of Garden of Hungarian National Museum. The scope of the testing to analyse the corrosion layers, and help to develop the best cleaning and protection practice. Samples were taken from more positions and the samples were analyzed by SEM-EDS, XRD, FT-IR methods. This article introduces the results of the testing the relevant effect to the conservation process.

This paper presents a resistivity-based spatiotemporal imaging method for the analysis of tree trunk. ERT data have been acquired on a cut tree trunk to examine its internal structure. The results of the ERT measurements in time-lapse mode well describe the high potential of this method in illustrating the internal distribution of resistivity in the trunk related to its decay process.

In this paper, we present the results of a nondestructive ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey performed in the external areas of the Basilica of St Nicholas in Bari, Italy. The aim was to investigate the presence of features of archaeological interest. The ground-penetrating radar analysis showed them to be anomalies likely associated with archaeological remains.

A study on the wooden beams was undertaken inside the Palazzo Ducale of Carosino (Taranto, Italy). Non destructive measurement by using the Surface – penetrating radar (SPR) were performed in order to investigate the conservation state of wooden structures. The surface-penetrating radar analysis helps to better understand the complexity of the structure of the beams.

The Monastery of S. Chiara of Nardò, the oldest in southern Italy, was erected in 1256, only three years after the birth of St. Chiara in heaven. It was Tommaso Gentile, Count of Nardò, who opened the doors of the medieval city walls to receive the first Clarisse nuns. Following the example of Mother St. Chiara, many young women over the centuries have consecrated their lives at the service of the Lord and of the brothers in the cloister, generous and holy souls among whom Sister Chiara Isabella D Amato of Seclì, who died in the concept of holiness. A study was undertaken in some areas...

The basilica was built between 1369 and 1391, by order of Raimondello Orsini del Balzo. The building, on Raimondello s death in 1405, will be completed by his wife, Princess Maria d'Enghien, and then by his son, Giovanni Antonio Orsini Del Balzo. A study, using non-destructive techniques (NDT) was undertaken inside and on the facade of the Basilica to investigate the oldest structure of the church and to help in restoration work. The NDT analysis showed interesting results.

Southwestern Sicily is an area of infrequent seismic activity. Only an earthquake occurred in the Belice valley on 13 January 1968 is reported in the historic earthquake catalogues (see e.g. [1]) as severe event, that is characterized by moderate-high energy (M=6.5) and significant epicentral and local macroseismic intensities (Io=X and I=VII-VIII of the MCS scale). Nevertheless, some studies (e.g. [2]) suggest that probably at least two earthquakes struck this area, between the fourth century B.C. and the early Middle Ages, with energy able to damage and produce collapse in some temples of...

A multi-methodological and non-invasive geophysical study has been carried out in order to support the restoration project of the historic Branciforte Palace in Palermo. Ground Penetrating Radar profiles and an Electrical Resistivity Tomography ERT, carried out on the floor of the stable of the Palace, allowed to evaluate in detail the state of consolidation of the subsoil, in correspondence of a double row of marble columns, some of which were affected by differential subsidence. These columns have been investigated by means of Ultrasonic Tomography to verify their state of degradation....

In this study we are going to list and catalogue ancient marbles from the sea bottom along the Mediterranean Coast and we discuss the localization and the morphological features of the original quarries that are situated above all in Greece, Asia Minor, and in Egypt. Finally we are going to expose the implementation of data in a GIS.

Ground-penetrating radar mapping allows for a three-dimensional analysis of archaeological features within the context of landscape studies. The method s ability to measure the intensity of radar reflections from deep in the ground can produce images and maps of buried features not visible on the surface. A study was conducted in some areas near the Domus Romana in Rabat (Malta) in order to investigate the buried archaeological structures. The ground-penetrating radar analysis showed them to be anomalies likely associated to archaeological remains.
