    This monograph deals with the polychromy on Roman marble sarcophagi produced in Rome from the beginning of the 2nd century to the end of the 4th century AD. It addresses the issues of colour and gilding by topic, in a discursive way, from a technical and practical point of view. The monograph brings together results and data derived from field observations, scientific analyses combined with archive-bibliographical research by emerging technologies in support of the classic process. For the first time, the study of polychromy is dealt with in a totally new way and the research focuses exclusively on a specific class of archaeological artefacts. This approach does not alter the text of the manuscript broad and complementary examination of the materials studied from a historical and archaeological profile. Thus, the search is configured for its transdisciplinarity constituting a pioneering product for the subject matter, so innovative in content and method.

    Eliana Siotto is a researcher in the field of the new technologies used for the documentation, management and enhancement of Cultural Heritage for conservation work and museum exhibitions. She is specialised in the study of the ancient colour on the marble surface and on the use of 2D/3D Computer Graphic techniques for the knowledge and the virtual reconstruction of the ancient polychromy. She has a multidisciplinary training and is pioneer in her field of research: she is graduated with honour in Cultural Heritage Preservation (Old Settlement, Restoration Techniques' matter), has been a lecturer in the field of Museology applied to Archaeology' and holds a PhD in Classical Archaeology at the University of Pisa. At the same time, she had obtained an MSc degree in Geographic Information Systems, has specialized in 2D/3D Computer Graphic techniques and deepened her studies in the field of diagnostic surveys for Cultural Heritage.


    La monografia si occupa della policromia sui sarcofagi romani in marmo prodotti a Roma dall'inizio del II secolo alla fine del IV secolo d.C. Essa affronta in modo sistematico le problematiche del colore e della doratura per temi, in modo discorsivo, ma sempre da un punto di vista tecnico e pragmatico, riportando risultati e dati derivanti da osservazioni sul campo, da analisi scientifiche unite a ricerche archivio-bibliografiche mediante l' uso di tecnologie emergenti in supporto all' iter corrente. Per la prima volta, lo studio della policromia è affrontato in modo nuovo e la ricerca si è concentrata esclusivamente su una classe specifica di manufatti archeologici. Questo approccio, naturalmente, non toglie al testo del manoscritto un' ampia e complementare disamina dei materiali studiati sotto il profilo storico-archeologico. In tal modo, la ricerca si configura per la sua transdisciplinarità costituendo, per la materia in oggetto, un prodotto pionieristico, quindi innovativo per contenuti e metodo.
