Happy new year everyone! 🎉
May your worktop always be full of smart mess, pigments, glue and wild pieces of paper. May the cultural heritage and works of art you take care of be given a new life thanks to your dedication and patience beyond all possible limits. May the magic of chemistry have your brain tortured for you to never stop learning. May your beautiful mind and sensitive heart bloom in every wonderful way.
Wish you a dazzling 2026 ✨

After I graduated from the Institute for Art and Restoration in Florence (Italy), I spent a year working on a study aiming to restore and preserve traditional Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Years after years, while studying traditional Japanese pigments and paper fibers, I developed a method that allows to clean paper while preserving applied colors. The restoration process of this specific work of art on paper is still my favorite one to take care of. ☺️🇯🇵
