Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a sacred art restoration take?
Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the artwork and the type of
intervention required. A restoration can take from a few weeks for simple
interventions up to several months for particularly compromised or large-scale works.
Is it possible to restore very old artworks without damaging them?
Absolutely yes. Modern conservation restoration techniques make it possible to
work even on very old artworks using reversible methodologies that do not alter
the original structure of the piece.
How are restoration costs determined?
The estimate is prepared after a careful evaluation of the artwork, taking into
account its size, state of conservation, complexity of the intervention, and the
materials required.
Is it possible to follow the progress of the work?
Certainly. I maintain a constant dialogue with clients, providing
regular updates and photographic documentation of the various restoration stages.
What guarantees do you offer on the work carried out?
All restorations are accompanied by a quality guarantee on the materials used
and the techniques applied, along with detailed guidance for
preventive maintenance.
Do you also work on large-scale artworks such as frescoes?
Yes, the service also includes interventions on frescoes, large altarpieces,
and wall decorations, using scaffolding and specialized equipment for this type
of artwork.
Is it necessary to transport the artwork to the studio?
Not always. Many interventions can be carried out directly on site, especially
for large artworks or those structurally integrated into the building. The evaluation is made
on a case-by-case basis during the initial inspection.
