The world art heritage needs constant, accurate and loving care.
Non destructive analysis, in particular, has proved to be the gold standard to achieve more
successful and long-lasting preservation. In order to promote education and competence in this
area, the “art” logo was created over twenty years ago and it still represents, with national and
international meetings, one of the peaks among the numerous projects in this field.
Many non-destructive techniques and evaluation methods applied in the natural sciences offer
advantages to cultural heritage preservation. The synergy between experts will lead to the
continuous development and adjustments of new scientific methods and their application in the
fields of preservation, reconstruction and diagnostics of museum and archeological objects.
The last edition of the “art Conference” was held in Jerusalem and its growing and encouraging
figures have confirmed the interest of the international community: more than 150 papers, coming
from 32 countries, 75 posters and over 300 attendees.
The “art’11 Conference” accepts that challenge, resuming the prestige of a traditional success and
bringing together, in one or the world art capitals, conservation scientists, curators, art historians,
architectural researchers and experts in non-destructive evaluation and material analysis.
Florence will be on our side, with its unrivalled charm and, hopefully, with some warm, Italian
sunshine!
