Preservation of the Decorative Surfaces in
the House of the Silver Wedding Anniversary
by Maria Gabriella De Monte
The project for restoring and preserving the House
of the Silver Wedding Anniversary came about as a
result of on-site meetings between experts in various
fields. Through these meetings, it was possible
to arrive at a full understanding of the history of the insula
and its buildings in order to draw up a unified project for
restoring them. The large number and diversity of the rooms,
areas and wall surfaces making up the insula meant that it
was important to pay close attention to the specific features
of each area, while bearing in mind the uniqueness of their
setting. The restoration project for the decorated surfaces
was based on information acquired by direct observation of
the state of preservation, as well as from graphic and photographic
documentation showing the types of deterioration.
