On behalf of Italian colleagues, I would like to forward this information on the Painted Walls Conference, the XIVth International Conference of the AIPMA (Association Internationale pour la Peinture Murale Antique) to be held in Naples, Italy from September 9-13, 2019 at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. organized by the MANN, Museo Archeologico Nazionale of Naples, and by the University of Bologna, in collaboration with the Centre Jean Bérard.
The conference will focus on the critical reading of the documentation and on the valorization of the synergy between knowledge, conservation and communication. The perspective adopted aims to be multidisciplinary, in order to give space not only to archaeology and art history, but also to archaeometry, restoration and diffusion of the results. The challenge is to highlight the “backstage work”, in order to illustrate the dialogue between archaeology and archaeometry, art history and restoration, documentation and communication. All proposers are therefore invited to focus on this aspect of your work, characterized by the convergences and complementarities between different approaches, where different methods and techniques have contributed to a common goal. The target is a transdisciplinary conference, rich in stories where the skills of the archaeologist and the art historian are coupled with and strengthened by the skills of the experts from other sectors: archaeometry, archaeography, conservation and restoration. In line with the objectives of the conference, the contributions presenting and integrating the results of a teamwork will be particularly welcome.
