Biological Risk for Hypogea. Shared data among Italy and Republic of Korea

This book collects data on biological risks in hypogea’s, which is mainly based on shared experiences collected on Etruscan Tombs in Italy and on Ancient Tombs of the Baekje Dynasty in Republic of Korea. Based on these results, and on previous experiences in the field by further scholars, we give a contribution to preserve such fragile cultural heritage, suggesting preventive conservation activities, such as ecofriendly control technologies. This research work was supported by grants from the Italian Ministry Affairs and International Cooperation Program “Research of conservation environment and eco-friendly damage control of cultural heritage Korea and Italy” (PGR06686) and by the International Research & Development Program of the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Science and ICT (2019K1A3A1A25000303). These results have been presented in workshop, which was held in Tarquinia (12 November 2021) at the ending of the joint project.

Art and Restoration / Papers
Collana ARTE E RESTAURO / DOCUMENTI

offers monographs, essays, studies, researches, insights into the fundamental themes of conservation and restoration of cultural heritage in Italy and in the world. For decades it has been the main editorial series in the sector and today it aims to represent the highest level of historical and scientific debate and comparison on theories and restoration techniques. The papers area intends to propose, with the same broad vision and the same approach, documents, regulations and scientific contributions concerning the study and research on the history of restoration and conservation, materials, experiments, executive techniques, presence and enhancement in the territory of significant works also through the contribution of historical and documentary information, as well as presenting issues related to their protection and conservation, welcoming international contributions of a multidisciplinary nature.
