معرفی
Gabriella Tonini serves as a Contract Teacher (Lecturer) of Physics and Chemistry at the University of Palermo (UNIPA), working within the Emilio Segrè teaching structure. Her institutional affiliation places her at the intersection of physical sciences and cultural-heritage conservation.
Research Focus
Her scholarly output centers on the scientific study and conservation of artistic and architectural heritage. Employing methodologies drawn from physics and chemistry, she investigates:
- surface alteration of marble sculptures,
- polymer-based adhesives for stone consolidation,
- gilding techniques in medieval wall paintings,
- 3-D documentation and monitoring of mosaics,
- environmental risk assessment for historic structures.
These activities bridge laboratory analysis, field diagnostics, and the development of treatment protocols that respect both material integrity and historical authenticity.
