Breaks and tears III edition

NOVEMBER 14-15, 2024
BUONCONSIGLIO CASTLE, TRENTO

After the study days of Florence (2019) and Milan (2022), Trento proposes to continue the reflection on the complex topic that concerns detached murals. Starting from some considerations that arose during the Florence conference, a project of reconnaissance, analysis, study and cataloging of the paintings detached in the province of Trento began that will result in a publication that will be presented during the new edition of the conference, scheduled for November 14-15, 2024. The intent of this third appointment on the subject of detaches and tears is to stimulate discussion not only on the reconstruction of historical events and restoration techniques, but also on the enhancement of this enormous heritage of works, which often lies no longer visible and waiting for a long-term project that points on the one hand to conservation and on the other to public use. During the work, professionals from different disciplines will discuss the multiple aspects - in terms of problems as well as potential - related to the conservation and enhancement of mural paintings extrapolated from their respective contexts of origin.

To actively participate, send an abstract on one of the thematic areas:

Interventions on detached frescoes: recovery of old materials and relationship with new ones.
Teaching of detachment and tearing techniques and deepening of operational skills in the faculties of conservation and restoration of cultural heritage.
Breaks and tears of contemporary wall painting
