Conservators combine surveys, laser cleaning, and micro‑mortar repairs. Ironwork is de‑rusted, primed, and painted; painted plaster is consolidated.

Practices

  • Diagnostics: map material decay to guide interventions.
  • Minimalism: least invasive methods first.
  • Documentation: before/after records assure continuity.

Material ↔ Method Matrix

Material Method Goal
Limestone Laser cleaning; consolidation Remove grime; stabilize
Ironwork De‑rust; prime; paint Halt corrosion; protect detail
Plaster Consolidate; retouch Strengthen; color fidelity

Conservation is a dialogue: past intent, present science, future care.


Care Schedule

  • Periodic surveys for façade and courtyards.
  • Targeted repairs post heavy rainfall.
  • Repainting cycles for ironwork.
