Abstract

The text presents a methodological approach to restoration from the point of view of a Ministry with a well-established tradition, mainly from the diagnostic and operational viewpoint. The topics dealt with include post-restoration monitoring and new methods for laser cleaning, also for paintings. Finally a suggestion is made for a revision of the largest restoration works of the past thirty years in order to assess, on the basis of the experience acquired, the progress and knowledge achieved, the various methods, approaches, successes and failures.
