The term“Maintenance” means a scheduled and periodic process designed to know, control and maintain the best conservation conditions desirable for a movable, immovable property or a set of these.
The first part of the course is dedicated to the analysis of maintenance practices in history.
The theories and operational proposals that led to maintenance being indicated as an integral part of preventive conservation will be presented and discussed later.
We will analyze specific plans of programmed maintenance, one destined to archaeological areas and one addressed to museum collections; will be treated the organizational and managerial aspects of a maintenance and technical intervention, with the aim of preserving a whole rather than a single object.
In coordination with the course of Diagnostics and Spectroscopy of Cultural Heritage, will be presented the tools and methods for environmental monitoring in relation to the materials that make up the works of art and the environments that host them and will analyze some case studies.
The lessons will include visits to monuments and museums in Lazio and exercises.
Visits will be proposed at galleries and archaeological areas to observe the best practice of the maintenance plan in place.
Practical exercises are planned at the Viterbo Civic Museum, during which useful data will be collected for the drafting of conservative sheets for the drafting of an ordinary maintenance plan.
Finally, we will implement the practical program of routine maintenance that will be developed during the cognitive and data collection phase, as indicated in the Protocol of the Environmental Data Sheet present on the MIBAC Risk Charter.
