Palazzo Economo Trieste glasses restoration

Vetroarredamento as Manufacturers

This is the seat of the government department responsible for art history and etnoanthropological treasures of the region Friuli Venezia Giulia. We realized the restoration of the velarium glasses which are above the monumental stairs. The glasses showed a noticeable superficial deterioration due to persistent water infiltrations and consequent deposits. The frosted glass surfaces have been taken back to the original state of cleanliness thanks to the sandblasting process. The residues of the central star decorations, which were repainted with cold enamels and consequently irreparably damaged in many parts, have been completely removed by manual abrasion using cerium oxide and pumice powder. The reproduction of the new stars has been realized by silk screening printing.


Il Palazzo Economo a Trieste è sede della Soprintendenza per i beni storici, artistici ed etnoantropologici del Friuli Venezia Giulia. Qui, nel 2011, abbiamo realizzato il restauro dei vetri del velario soprastante la scala monumentale. I vetri presentavano un notevole stato di degrado superficiale a causa di persistenti infiltrazioni d'acqua e conseguenti depositi. Le superfici smerigliate sono state riportate allo stato di pulizia originale mediante sabbiatura. I residui delle decorazioni centrali a stella, ridipinte con smalti a freddo, e di conseguenza in più parti irreparabilmente danneggiate, sono stati completamente rimossi mediante abrasione manuale con amido di cerio e polvere di pomice. La riproduzione delle nuove "stelle" è stata realizzata mediante stampa serigrafica.
