Dr. Guerzoni holds a degree in Historical and Artistic Cultural Heritage from the
University of Turin. Her thesis focused on the state of preventive conservation in Italy,
and she collaborated with the Conservation and Restoration Center La Venaria Reale on
the EPICO project. She then pursued a Master's degree in Museology from the Ecole du
Louvre in Paris, followed by a Master's degree in Art History Research. Her studies
encompassed restoration, critique, and digitization, and she conducted field research in
art history while also contributing to editorial and digital projects.

Documentation and Dissemination of Restoration History for the Archives of the
Fondazione Centro Conservazione e Restauro dei Beni Culturali La Venaria Reale:
Research and Communication.

This project analyzes current digital dissemination and documentation methods for
conserving cultural heritage, with a focus on the Brambilla Fund of the Venaria Reale
Restoration Center. This fund is dedicated to the restoration culture of 20th century
Italy, and Pinin Brambilla Barcilon's career serves as a thread for meditating on the
communication and narration of restoration history. In order to conduct this research,
it is essential to survey state-of-the-art theories and documentation methods.

The Brambilla archival fund contains over 50,000 phototypes, reports, scientific
analyses, notes, and study materials. The project aims to make Pinin Brambilla Barcilon's
influence on restoration culture known to specialists and the public. Additionally, it
aims to enable direct access to sources, plan coherent communication of contents,
popularize content, and apply digital ethics. The project seeks to contribute to the
knowledge of the possibilities of applying digital humanities and digital archiving to the
science of cultural heritage and the feasibility of open access to the restoration and
conservation of cultural heritage.

The project also addresses archiving methods, interfaces, accessibility, and
popularization through articles, multimedia content, and communication on social
networks or platforms. The study will also examine the most commonly used methods
for archival and popularization purposes in national and international museums and
restoration centers. Communication of conservation activities is an essential part of
protection, and digital humanities allow for a higher potential for sharing sources in
academic contexts than traditional research methods.
