Managing the huge quantities of data concerning our cultural heritage is a complex and interdisciplinary activity that includes not only restoration work places but all the activities of conservation and enhancement of museum collections.Our long experience in the most prestigious restoration work places has enabled us to develop unique services and tools in the international field.

Thematic maps

As a support to the restoration process, in close collaboration with the restorers, we offer the possibility of reusing the notes taken during the restoration and transforming them into vectorial Thematic maps showing deterioration, techniques and restoration intervention. The maps are made so that they can be read when superimposed on each other and with high definition orthophotos.

Graphic relief mapping of architectural and artistic heritage

A graphic relief – for example of a piece of architecture or a painting – is the basic map for recording the restoration process and the production of the thematic maps concerning the deterioration, the artistic techniques and the work of restoration. 

Management of restoration work place data

Again as a support to the  processes  of the restoration work place,  we offer our experience in the accurate archiving  of images, films and other data produced during the course of the work.  This procedure is carried out after agreeing the structure of the file-system and naming of files and folders with the Restoration Director, depending on the topography and iconography of the subject. 

Cataloging

Support given to museums to create customised data bases and for entering text and images including through importing previous archives
