Abstract
Three case studies were analysed, the purpose of the conservation treatments was the same: they all need to improve their appearance to be displayed in exhibitions. The objects were: the Ennion cup from Civic Museums, Pavia, Italy for the traveling exhibition Ennion, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 2015 and The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York in 2016. The square two-handled bottle with gladiators on the base from Acqui Terme (AL), Italy traveling to be exposed at the industrial glass fair Vitrum in Milan, followed by Antiquarium Alda Levi, Milan in 2015. Lastly, renaissance decorated vessels from the excavation of Padoa Santa Chiara Monastery for display at Restituzioni 2016 in the Gallerie d’Italia, Milan.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
