Giulia Iorio (INFN Roma Tre, Università degli Studi Roma Tre)05/03/2026, 17:30Beauty: Integrated approaches for artworks and archaeological materials
The study of artworks, due to their material complexity and state of conservation, requires a multi-analytical approach based on complementary, non-invasive, and non-destructive techniques capable of providing compositional and morphological information. However, artworks are not always planar like paintings and may present complex geometries, such as sculptures or paintings on niches. It is...

Carmine Lubritto05/03/2026, 17:55Beauty: Integrated approaches for artworks and archaeological materials
This work presents an integrated archaeometric research program aimed at reconstructing subsistence strategies, economic networks, and population dynamics at Pompeii and in the Vesuvian area at the time of the AD 79 eruption. The project combines stable isotope analyses (δ¹³C, δ¹⁵N) on human, animal and botanical remains to refine dietary reconstructions and investigate agricultural and...

Over the last few decades, X-ray imaging has improved significantly as a high-resolution, non-destructive, and non-invasive tool for radiography and tomography, solving a major challenge of detecting internal structures of samples in different applications. Furthermore, since the enhancement of synchrotron sources, extremely coherent radiation has been used for non-traditional contrast...

Lucilla Pronti (INFN-LNF)05/03/2026, 18:35Beauty: Integrated approaches for artworks and archaeological materials
The characterization of Cultural Heritage (CH) materials requires a multiscale and multi-analytical approach to fully understand the complexity of both original constituents and degradation products. This work discusses the potential of integrating diverse spectroscopic techniques across different spatial resolutions (micro and macro scale). Two primary technological approaches are...
