Abstract
The paintings of Andrea Pozzo on the walls and vault of the Refectory in the Convent of Trinita dei Monti in Rome were recently restored. During this process, archaeometric research was carried out on the decorations. Using both restoration observations and the archaeometric analyses, the painting execution methods were examined and compared with Pozzo's own recommendations in the appendix to his Treatise Perspectiva Pictorum et Architectorum (1693-1702).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
