The National Museum of Oman

Muscat, March 2016 – Last month I could spend three weeks in the Sultanate of Oman working as a conservator for the National Museum of Oman in Muscat.
Me and other three Italian colleagues have been part of a mission lead by the Italian company Regoli & Radiciotti for the conservation and preservation of Western and Islamic volumes, printed books (XIX-XX cent.) and manuscripts (XVII cent.), belonging to the Museum collection.

Visiting Julia Margaret Cameron’s exhibitions in London

London, January 2015 – Today along with my colleague Barbara Cattaneo I could attend a conference on Julia Margaret Cameron and visit the beautiful exhibitions at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Science Museum in London.
She was a pioneer in photography, the first woman in the field. Certainly her character, her art and her skills in the wet collodion process are an inspiration for everyone who attempts reproducing this technique nowadays!

In the pictures: Julia, Barbara and me; the Millennium Bridge; the river Thames.
