The present work shows the advantages of a multi-analytical methodology based on noninvasive and micro-invasive spectroscopic techniques in the study of wall paintings located in San Giacomo's church in Spoleto (Italy). The cycle of these mural paintings was realized by Giovanni di Pietro named Lo Spagna and his collaborators between 1526 and 1530. This study was focused on the characterization of pigments, in particular the blue ones, binders and degradation products to define the conservation state of these mural paintings and localize the repaints. Portable reflection infrared spectroscopy allowed us to identify the areas to be sampled to perform deeper analyses by scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS).

Abstract
The present work shows the advantages of a multi-analytical methodology based on noninvasive and micro-invasive spectroscopic techniques in the study of wall paintings located in San Giacomo's church in Spoleto (Italy). The cycle of these mural paintings was realized by Giovanni di Pietro named Lo Spagna and his collaborators between 1526 and 1530. This study was focused on the characterization of pigments, in particular the blue ones, binders and degradation products to define the conservation state of these mural paintings and localize the repaints. Portable reflection infrared spectroscopy allowed us to identify the areas to be sampled to perform deeper analyses by scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
