Participants of the 2011 International Course on Stone Conservation recently visted the travertine quarries in Tivoli, Italy, to see both quarrying techniques and the various methods of cutting, slabbing, and polishing stone.
The course is designed for professionals involved in the conservation of historic stone structures and artifacts. The primary goal is to improve the practice of stone conservation internationally by providing participants with a holistic understanding of the decay and deterioration of stone, disseminating effective conservation methodologies, and ensuring a practical understanding of appropriate repair methods and long-term management strategies.
