I am an Associate Professor in Analytical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Pisa and received my PhD in Chemical Sciences from the University of Pisa in 2006. My research focuses on characterisation and identification of organic materials in paint samples and archaeological polychrome objects. The aim is to reconstruct painting techniques, artistic practice, and technologies of the past, and to understand the chemical and physical processes involved in paint film formation, ageing and degradation. I work mainly with mass spectrometry, chromatography and analytical pyrolysis. In close collaboration with experts of thermoanalytical techniques, atomic and molecular spectoscopies, art history and conservation, we implement methodological approaches to analyse precious samples from artworks, to produce and study materials to model paint layers, and to assist the development of conservation treatments.
