Graffiti on monuments: cleaning abuse causes the most damage of ink spray
ILLEGAL CLEARING THE FACADE OF THE CHURCH OF SANTA CHIARA
DIY Restoration more dangerous graffiti
The photo Portosalvo Youth Association - a signature of new graduates in Restoration of Naples - condemns the massacre took place on the walls of the main facade of the Church of Santa Chiara, Unesco World Heritage Site since 1995.
The association Portosalvo Youth ", which was founded as an offshoot of the Civic Committee of Santa Maria di Portosalvo thanks to some young graduates in the Restoration, is outraged by this unfortunate event and is considering the possibility of presenting, at the Cultural Heritage Unit of Naples, a complaint for serious damage to unknown historical and artistic heritage.
"As you can see from the photos - said Marcello Mottola, who graduated in Diagnostic and Restoration at the University Suor Orsola Benincasa in Naples and Portosalvo Youth Coordinator - visual analysis of the Neapolitan yellow tuff shows significantly powdery. The surface layer is compact and white and this is due to strong abrasion who removed the first layer of stone. This is probably a result obtained through the use of a sander, or a similar tool, used da un operatore che con il
restauro non ha nulla a che fare”.

Parziale rimozione della vernice |
L'associazione “Portosalvo Giovani” lancia l’allarme: “Non solo lo strato di tufo was heavily damaged in many areas the first layer of stone is gone, the paint and graffiti was removed only in part - explains Maria Vitiello, graduated in Diagnostic and Restoration - It is natural to wonder who made these cleaners? Who has authorized them? "For the work of cleaning the facade of the Church of Santa Chiara is almost as mysterious table is not required by law, citing its client, the amount of work, designers, Municipal such approval, the company, the project manager, and so on.
What happened to Santa Chiara is dangerous because it gives the illusion, as it always happened in the world of Restoration, which is enough to have a product, have a little 'guides to intervene on the monuments. So what do I need to attend the schools of restoration? What there is to make a law that regulates the activities of restoration?
The growing series of unfortunate incidents that have tarnished the historical center of Naples, UNESCO since 1995, has been a growing awareness that the young Neapolitan restorers must take the field in an active manner, with minimal gestures and non-violent, in order to claim the leadership in the conservation of works of art the city, very often lie in unskilled hands.
For years, the Committee Portosalvo is spent on graffiti vandalism and now, through Portosalvo Young, restorers Neapolitans claim a public service that gives employment to local youth in order to prevent anyone from putting their hands on monuments. A service of cleaning and maintenance of the monuments that can cope with this continuing outrage is more necessary than ever.
