1 Lamine Chikbouni Sergiu Dragusanu Sophia Echchihab Samuel Medoro Claudia Misino Alessandro Tattini Friday, January 21 st 2011 Erasmus programme CHerMat A case study of a monument of Modena The Angular Decoration at the Palazzo Arcivescovile
2 1) History of the monument PLAN 2) Localisation environmental features 3) Materials 3.1) mapping 3.2) description of the stones 4) Alterations 4.1) mapping 4.2) pictures 5) Restoration 5.1) previous restoration 5.2) ideas for future restoration 6) Conclusion
3 THE ARCHBISHOP'S PALACE The Archbishop's Palace dates from the late fourth century when Teodoro, successor of Geminiano, built the first Cathedral (on the tomb of his predecessor).the Cathedral was built with the Palace, it was the home of bishop and clergy.
4 THE ARCHBISHOP'S PALACE The first part extends to the west (on S. Eufemia).
5 THE ARCHBISHOP'S PALACE The second part faces the square
6 THE ARCHBISHOP'S PALACE... and the middle is supported by arcades and connects the two parts.
7 Terracotta bust of bishop Boccaccio. IO. AND.REGIEN MUTINE PRESUL ECCLIE BENEMERENTI POSUIT The date marks the end of the work.

26 LIMESTONES Granitello Rosso Ammonitico Granitello Rosso Ammonitico
27 LIMESTONES sedimentary rock composed of the minerals calcite and/or aragonite - different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) The primary source of the calcite in limestone is marine organisms. These organisms secrete shells made of aragonite or calcite, and leave these shells behind after the organisms die.

32 Terracotta MAPPING Sandstone Sandstone Trachyte
33 TRACHYTE The Trachyte is a volcanic rock, it is an effusive rock of color gray or tendency to yellow (Oligocene). It has a porphyritic structure with anortoclasio, plagioclase, biotite and homogeneous pasta background. It is generally porous and rough, typical characteristics a slow cooling. It comes from hills Euganei, near Padova.
34 SANDSTONE The sandstone is a rock of sedimentary origin composed of granules the size of a sand (clasts - 2 mm<d>0,0625mm). In this case a fine sand, well rounded and well sorted. The grains have different compositions, in this case by the Modena Apennines. They are the younger rocks in the monument about million years ago. This is a our case with clasts 2mm < d > mm Among the grains more resistant to abrasion include quartz that, because of its strength, is one of the most common constituents of these rocks with feldspar, mica, calcite.
35 The granules are bonded together by a matrix,but when this material is crystallized is called cement, generally calcium carbonate or silica. The amount of matrix / cement is very important as it allows to classify the sandstones: mudstone - wacke - subwacke arenite The form leads to the assumption about the origin of the clasts: clasts marine, river and wind.
36 TERRACOTTA Artifacts compose mainly of clay (mix phyllosilicates, quartz and limestone). Possible presence of sulphides or Forammiferi depending on the site of origin. This material is mixed with water and placed in a kiln a temperatures of about 900 C; at this stage the Fe2+ passes a Fe3+ and the artifact turns from gray to red. These artifacts are of good quality, stronger and less porous with normal bricks. Absence of CaCO3 and the presence of fragments of glass after cooking.
37 Materials - mapping
38 loss of components Alterations - mapping dissolution soiling differential dissolution colouration cracks film crumbling of the mortar abrasion
39 Alterations crack and deformation Crack
40 Alterations - detachment Crumbling of the restoration mortar
41 Alterations features induced by loss of matter Loss of Rosso Ammonitico Abrasion of the trachite at the bottom Important dissolution of the sandstone Differential dissolution of the Rosso Ammonitico
42 Alterations discoloration and deposit Darkening at the bottom (capillary rising with or without biofilm) Colouration of the stone (corrosion of the iron artefact)
43 Last restoration: 1994 Petrographical analysis: Department of Earth Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia Terracotta bust completely detached from its basement close to collapse covered by soiling Sandstone heavily dissolved by rain, losing its original shaping Black crusts
44 First operations: Bust reassembled Consolidation of sandstone Fixation of the detached pieces Plastering of crackings Then... Black crusts removal by packages of rice paper and with scalpels Several washings with deionized water Application of a water-repellent protection on the stone Lead protection on the Rosso Ammonitico frame
45 Proposals for restoration Biocides application Stone cleaning from black crusts and atmospheric particles with biological packages (sepiolite, water, urea (NH 2 ) 2 CO and glycerin (CH 2 OH) 2 CHOH) Phosphoric acid to clean iron oxydes stains (not on calcareous stones) Rosso Ammonitico, particularly affected by differential dissolution, requires consolidation and micro-plastering with elastomeric products, as already done on Ghirlandina Tower
46 Sandstone consolidation Trachyte cracks plastering Water-repellent resins, carefully chosen not to change the original color of the stones New, more compatible mortar
47 CONCLUSION > A monument of the 15 th century with a sculpture and an epigraph dedicated to the bishop of Modena, Giovanni Andrea Bocciacci > A particular localisation in the city > A monument built with several materials > Not really altered but some materials chosen are not durable > A restoration done in 1994 but other restorations could be adviced
