Course Objective: The course, developed together with Istituto per l'Arte e il Restauro - Palazzo Spinelli, introduces participants to basic restoration techniques to preserve and protect art heritage sites. The course of painting techniques in restoration provides the essential knowledge and tools of ancient painting techniques, involving both fresco painting and canvas painting, in order to provide a chance for beginners to try stretching gold or test themselves in graffiti art, mosaic, or fresco painting.
