Restoration is a demanding professional intervention process leading to the restoration of the original form of a work of art. Restoration is subject to strict rules and procedures according to principles of restoration ethics. These ethics are a collection of specific procedures that respect the technical and artistic structure of the original work. The research proposal is focused on restoration ethics, i.e. the issue of adherence to the Code of Ethics during the conservation-restoration of works of art.
