The “AlfaBi studio d'arte e Restauro” operates in the area of cultural heritage, specializing in the preservation and restoration of paintings on canvas and on wood, polychrome wooden sculptures and artefacts, frescoes and murals, plus metal art works and icons. The complexity and variety in the nature of the art works that the “AlfaBi studio d'arte e Restauro” is specialized in working with, has revealed the fundamental requirement for closely examining the chemical composition of their materials and the qualitative state of their preservation. The need for very high precision diagnostic analyzes in a laboratory that usually accompany every step of a restoration operation on a work of art, is fulfilled by close co-operation and consultation with highly qualified outside professionals and laboratories that operate in both the public sector (for the various heritage superintendence agencies) and the private sector (for various museums and ecclesiastical bodies). Our philosophy is that restoring a work of art is above all a cultural deed. Our commitment is to continue to operate in the field of preservation and restoration of art works in order to help safeguard and deliver to the future those precious objects that form part of our historical, artistic and architectural wealth of Cultural Heritage, whether belonging to public or to private bodies. “AlfaBi Studio d'Arte e Restauro” and its specialist collaborators have supplied their services to help in the preservation of works of art owned by prestigious museums, such as Milan's “Castello Sforzesco” and “Museo di Milano”, and also for ecclesiastical entities run by the Archiepiscopate, such as the “Basilica of Saint Ambrose” in Milan.
