Speech on St. Ignatius
cleaning of the painting of St. Ignatius of Loyola was completed through the use of cotton swabs soaked in alkaline cleaner then rinsed in MEK. The right part on the added piece of cloth and the top has been cleaned only with MEK, noting the top right corner a yellow-red halo. All of the strip, about 4 cm wide, found the same apparel decoration of the Jesuit, upside down about 90 degrees. It was therefore concluded that the painting was cut at the bottom, and that the strip has been folded on the longer side. In support of this thesis is the fact that the decor matches perfectly with that of the robe of the saint. This does assume that the picture had originally larger. Possible solutions cover the possibility of intervention restored to form the picture, but the vision of changing significantly, or document the fact and repaint the picture as it is presented before the restoration, but recognizably -differential. The
repainting on the holy book that is holding were removed with acid cleaner, and rinsed with MEK.
The picture was removed from the frame to the lining riaderire in detached parts and open the lining of the strip that will be made as soon Foils.

With regard to other works in the laboratory, a group has continued to pursue the reinstatement of St. Louis, specifying the intervention on the lower end of piety and of the land, and some locking macrolacune with a snack of black and umber. The solvent used is still thinner. There have been some interventions Ecosolv solvent but did not go well, because every few minutes from writing procured a strong whitening and opacity of the hue, though the miscibility with the color and minimal evaporation seemed optimal.
Some students have completed the cleaning of the painting of the Saint of the Jesuit order property of Cuneo. Some deficiencies were repaired by tacking and then grouted. On the same has begun the recovery of tissue color. Who knows something more, please write!
