    Below is the lecture given on 18th October 2013 on the occasion of the ceremony
held in Moscow for my election as a Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of
Natural Sciences. As a token of respect and gratitude to the Academics and the Institu-
tion, it was thought fitting to publish the text not only in English and Italian, but also in
Russian. In this regard, I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Professor Paolo
Ognibene whose knowledge of the Russian language and Russia is the result of his
many years of dedicated study and experience.
    This paper gives a brief outline of some of the key aspects related to the teaching
and research I have conducted at the Universities of Bologna, the Sapienza in Rome,
Cagliari, Tuscia (Viterbo): having followed a very diversified path in the Faculties of
Economics and Conservation of Cultural Heritage and then in the Department of Cul-
tural Heritage of the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna (Ravenna Campus)
where, with the activation of the Diagnostic Laboratory for Cultural heritage, I was able
to achieve the scientific results that led to my nomination.
    In this regard I would like to emphasize the fundamental contributions and the close-
ness, in terms of friendship and science, that have accompanied me on this long jour-




                                                                                                         CONSERVATION SCIENCE IN CULTURAL HERITAGE
ney with advice, suggestions and testimonials – in particular from professors Walter
Ciusa, Ernesto Chiacchierini, Antonio Carile, Giantommaso Scarascia Mugnozza, Co-
simo Damiano Fonseca, Mario Alì – as well as the many students and coworkers – in
particular doctors Fernanda Prestileo, Chiara Matteucci, Angela Mari Braida, Andrea
Natali, Salvatore Andrea Apicella – to whom I owe a great deal in many different ways.
    With just the same intensity I felt in expressing my heartfelt gratitude at the presen-
tation of my book, “Tecnologia e innovazione nei processi di produzione” (Technology
and innovation in production processes) in 1987, which contained the lessons of my
teaching at the Sapienza University of Rome, I would like to end with the same words
I used on that occasion:
    “It is true that not only have I found the vital spirit and courage to write this text in the
live hot battle of discussion, but also in the serenity and warmth of my family. And it is
for this that I dedicate this work, with gratitude, to Francesca.”
