During the 2-4th of September, our colleague and predoctoral researcher Daniel Jiménez Desmond attended the 7ᵗʰ Historic Mortars Conference (#HMC2025) celebrated in Padova (Italy).
With an oral presentation entitled “The dark fate of copper-based pigments in fresco wall paintings”, Daniel presented the preliminary results of a study carried out within his PhD. The research was carried out at the Universidade de Vigo (CINTECX) and in collaboration with the Dpt. of Mineralogy and Petrology and the Dpt. of Inorganic Chemistry of the Universidad de Granada, and with the Scientific Laboratories of the Centro Conservazione Restauro “La Venaria Reale”.
