“…Fungal spores can easily be transported by air conditioning or handling an object. Furthermore, through direct contact, air movement, or chemical vapors, possible nutrients for the microorganisms can be transported from one thing to another in proximity, thus making the storage of peculiar artworks, like the Vitone's canvases, even more difficult and their monitoring a crucial point in their conservation [13,14]. It was found that ranges of parameters, as opposed to specific values, should be defined as the best values for the protection of artworks [15][16][17].…”

“Atmospheric” painting stands as a new frontier in contemporary art, presenting challenges and new considerations in museum practices. This article aims to analyze the possible evolution of four atmospheric paintings created by artist Luca Vitone during their transition from exhibition halls to the storage facilities of the MAXXI museum. The presence of active microbiological consortium raises question regarding the potential interaction these artworks may have with the surrounding environment. The year-long monitoring involved macroscopic and microscopic observation, spectrophotometric analyses, and cell vitality assessments using a bioluminometer. Additionally, the collected data were correlated with the prevailing microclimate within the storage. Indeed, the canvases underwent an evolution during their transfer to the storage; it was mainly the photosynthetic part of the consortium that underwent the greatest changes, resulting in changes in the color tones of the canvases. The viability of the cells in the consortium also underwent changes as indicated by measurements obtained with the bioluminometer. The monitoring has provided invaluable insights into the dynamic evolution of Vitone’s artworks and allowed the authors to hypothesize some strategies for the conservation of these types of artworks.

“…Many researchers have attached importance to improving the thermal comfort in historic buildings while protecting them (Stolow, 1994;Silva, and Henriques, 2014;Marcelli et al, 2020;Hu et al, 2022). However, few of them have focused on the thermal comfort of streets in historic conservation areas.…”

Under the background of global warming, the thermal comfort in summer in historical conservation areas in China has also been significantly negatively affected. How to optimize the spatial pattern of the street space of historical conservation areas to improve the thermal comfort in summer in these areas undoubtedly deserves the consideration of scholars. In this study, Taiping Street, a historical conservation area in Changsha, China was taken as an example. Combined with the actual conditions of Taiping Street, the models with different street interface densities, different sizes and positions of open space, and different D/H (the ratio between the width of a street and the height of its surrounding buildings) were built through ENVI-met. The measured meteorological data from 10:00 to 20:00 on July 12, 2022 in Changsha are used as the initial meteorological data for simulation. The effects of the difference in the above factors on the thermal comfort of street space of historical conservation areas were explored through simulation analysis and comparison of the thermal comfort in different models. In the study, it was found that the thermal comfort of street space in such a historical street space with narrow roads was significantly affected by architectural shadows. As a result, among the simulated models, the higher the street interface density in the street in the east-west direction is, the better the overall thermal comfort of the area is. The lower the street interface density of the street in the north-south direction is, the better the overall thermal comfort of the area is. by adding a small open space in the middle of the north-side of the building, the thermal comfort of the area can be improved. The higher the D/H ratio is, the better the thermal comfort of the model is. During the renewal of historical conservation areas, people should make full use of the architectural shadows in such historical blocks to improve the thermal comfort of the area. Besides, the commonly-used method of constructing ventilation corridors to improve the thermal comfort of the block did not have an obvious effect in this study and might not make obvious improvements in similar street spaces of historical conservation areas.

“…In the presented papers, the interdisciplinary approach is strong, as shown by the many cases where X-ray based techniques are integrated by other techniques, such as, for example, FT-IR, multispectral techniques (visible, UV, IRR) and Raman microscopy (Palamarczuk et al 2020;Pronti et al 2020;Martín and Nuevo 2020;Domenici et al 2020). A new approach to implement effective low-cost, multiparameter conservation strategies in museums and artwork repositories has been presented, of great interest because it opens up the way to economically affordable, customized solutions suitable for all sites (Marcelli et al 2020).…”

scientists. The meeting was characterised by presentations and discussions about recent advances, research results and perspectives, as well as open problems and incoming activities where new technological developments are required. The increasing importance of non-invasive diagnostic techniques was highlighted, by putting into evidence how they allow for getting information about problems related to very different fields. Just to give an example among the many, one (Calderón et al. 2020) deals to reveal techniques used by the artists in order to have a preliminary basis for conservation/restoration interventions, another is focused on tracking ancient people movements (Cattaneo et al. 2020). Presented works address various issues, presenting different diagnostic methodologies, some based on large scale facilities (Pronti et al. 2020), others exploiting mobile instrumentation (Domenici et al. 2020). The papers cover different historical periods on both continents which span from archaeological (Sario et al. 2020) up to modern era. The contributions are essentially concentrated on applied research and applications to CH. Most of the papers are based on detection of electromagnetic (E.M.) radiation and complementary techniques, including, but not limiting to, XRF/XRF-imaging (Kriznar et al. 2020), XRF (Dabagov et al. 2020), SEM (Bruni et al. 2020), γ-rays transmission (Cesareo et al. 2020). Given the importance of this field for the community, a session was also dedicated to the interpretation of the detector response function of E.M. radiations. Innovative techniques and experimental setups have been proposed and tested. In the presented papers, the interdisciplinary approach is strong, as shown by the many cases where X-ray based techniques are integrated by other techniques, such as, for example, FT-IR, multispectral techniques (visible, UV, IRR) and Raman microscopy (Palamarczuk et al. 2020;Pronti et al. 2020;Martín and Nuevo 2020;Domenici et al. 2020). A new approach to implement effective low-cost, multiparameter conservation strategies in museums and artwork repositories has been presented, of great interest because it opens up the way to economically affordable, customized solutions suitable for all sites (Marcelli et al. 2020).
