Tiziana Cavaleri, graduated in Science and Technology for Cultural Heritage and Materials Sciences at the University of Turin, has been a conservation scientist at the CCR since 2009, where she deals with diagnostics, archeometry and research applied to cultural heritage. Her research activities are focused on the application, integration and development of multi-band imaging techniques and point spectroscopies. She teaches Physics Applied to Cultural Heritage at the University. She is the contact person of the Pictorial Material Database project, available online on the CCR website, and of the non-invasive analysis campaign of the tomb of Kha as part of the collaboration with the Egyptian Museum (TT8 project).

Graduate in Geology at the University of Florence, with PhD in Photonics (thesis title: “Study of artworks by using non-invasive UV-VIS-IR spectroscopic and thz-TDS imaging techniques”) at the University of Eastern Finland (UEF), Joensuu (Finland), has been a researcher at IFAC-CNR since 2001. Since 1991 he has been working in the study of works of art using spectroscopic techniques. In particular, he deals with the analysis of artistic materials, such as pigments and dyes, using specific spectroscopic techniques and non-invasive areas. Since 2009 he has been responsible for the SABeC Research Group Spectroscopy Applied to Cultural Heritage.

Silvia Bruni, Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Milan, is also a member of the Coordinated Cultural Heritage Research Centre and the Coordinated Tarquinia Project Research Centre of the same University. Her activity is aimed at the development and application of instrumental chemical analysis techniques to artistic and archaeological materials, for the non-invasive identification of ancient and contemporary pictorial materials and their state of conservation, the identification of natural and synthetic dyes used in textiles and graphic art and the analysis of residues and organic materials and ceramics from archaeological excavations.

Daniele Demonte, graduated in Society and Cultures of Europe at the University of Turin in 2005, was the official photographer of the Holy Shroud in 2004 and 2010 and has collaborated as a teacher of photography for the training course for artwork handlers sponsored by the Province of Turin. Since 2006 he has been a photographer at the CCR and since 2022 Coordinator of the Multispectral Photography and Imaging Laboratory. His areas of expertise include the management of photographic and multispectral documentation of the artworks under treatment and technical support to students enrolled in the Master’s Degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage of the University of Turin.

Federico Di Iorio, graduated in Photography of Cultural Heritage at the ISIA in Urbino, since 2009 has been dealing with the digitization of cultural heritage from contemporary architecture to multispectral imaging on works of art for museums, academies, libraries and universities. During his career he taught diagnostic photography at the ISRC in Rome and archaeological photography for SISBA in Aquileia. Since 2020 he has been a photographer of the CCR, for which he takes care of the photographic and multispectral documentation of objects undergoing study and conservation.

Marco Gargano, graduated in Physics, since 2004 has been involved in the development and application of the main imaging methods for the study of cultural heritage at the Laboratory of Applied Diagnostics for Cultural Heritage of the University of Milan. He is professor of diagnostic techniques at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and author of over 100 publications including scientific journals, volumes and books. During his career he studied numerous and important artifacts, including paintings, sculptures and archaeological finds of great documentary interest.
