Sacred Art

” Art is experience of universality. It cannot be just an object or a means. It is a primitive word… prime and last meaning of life…

Religious therefore is Art because it leads Man to be aware of that restlessness that lies at the bottom of his Being...

Art is a path leading to God “

John Paul (letter to Artists)

Il Restauro

Restoration is the methodological process in which the piece of art is acknowledged in its physical form and in its dual esthetic and historical polarity This is the spirit permeating all the phases of the conservative restoration in our Studio.

All the cleaning procedures are achieved after careful technical and aesthetic research and performed with non-toxic materials.

Aesthetic interventions are carried out with removability, reversibility and recognizability criterions, avoiding historical fakes or arbitrary interpretations.
