4CH Interviews – Francesco Taccetti in conversation with Sara Abram

Francesco Taccetti, 4CH Project Leader, discusses the requirements for a Competence Centre (CC) with Sara Abram, the General Secretary of Fondazione Centro per la Conservazione e Restauro “La Venaria Reale” which undertakes research and the restoration of artworks and artefacts in its laboratories as well as providing training in these areas. The discussion covers aspects such as the need for a European reference framework as scientific techniques and methodologies become increasingly complex and the treatment related data resulting from these procedures along with the opportunities offered by digitisation and the role of a CC for private institutions.
