Diagnostic records prior to the restoration of the Loringiana collection

The condition of the objects which make up the former Loringiano Museum, with a large part of the objects conserved outdoors and dispersed in different places of the city, made it necessary to record the technical specifications in order to make a diagnosis of these objects with a view to carrying out an urgent intervention to preserve the objects in an appropriate setting.
