The research project aims to study the theoretical and conservation issues surrounding works of Street Art. The project involved a study phase that looked at the phenomenon from a historical and artistic point of view, as well as an investigation of the main conservation issues affecting contemporary murals. To achieve this goal, the criteria for the selection and classification of individual paintings has been identified, and a catalogue containing historical, artistic, and conservation information created. A second phase of the research project involved conducting a field survey and choosing the most interesting works of art. A very important part of this research project were interviews, which aimed to collect data on the materials used by the artists and recorded their opinion on how best to preserve their works of art. The data obtained from this research will be entered into a computer database, creating a catalogue that can be continually updated. In addition to promoting the awareness of contemporary muralism, this catalogue will make a significant contribution to the preservation of this type of art and also to theoretical reflection on the problems of restoring contemporary art.
La ricerca ha avuto come obiettivo quello di studiare le problematiche teoriche e conservative inerenti le opere di Street Art. Il progetto ha previsto una fase di studio del fenomeno da un punto di vista storico e artistico oltre all’indagine delle principali problematiche di conservazione che interessano i murales contemporanei. Per realizzare questo scopo sono stati individuati dei criteri per la selezione e la classificazione delle singole pitture ed è stata predisposta una scheda di catalogazione contenente sia le informazioni storico-artistiche che quelle conservative. Una seconda fase di ricerca ha previsto la ricognizione sul territorio e la scelta delle opere più interessanti tra quelle dei festival storicizzati. Come strumento di ricerca è stato inoltre adottato quello dell’intervista, mirata alla conoscenza dei materiali usati dall’artista e alla registrazione delle sue opinioni in merito alla conservazione delle proprie opere. Sono stati intervistati ottanta tra writers e street artists italiani. I dati ottenuti da questa campagna di studio e di ricerca potranno essere la base per la creazione di un database nazionale, costituendo un catalogo che potrà continuare a essere incrementato in futuro. Questa catalogazione oltre a favorire la conoscenza del muralismo contemporaneo apporterebbe un importante contributo alla conservazione di questa tipologia di opere e alla riflessione teorica sulle problematiche del restauro dell’arte contemporanea.

Abstract
The research project aims to study the theoretical and conservation issues surrounding works of Street Art. The project involved a study phase that looked at the phenomenon from a historical and artistic point of view, as well as an investigation of the main conservation issues affecting contemporary murals. To achieve this goal, the criteria for the selection and classification of individual paintings has been identified, and a catalogue containing historical, artistic, and conservation information created. A second phase of the research project involved conducting a field survey and choosing the most interesting works of art. A very important part of this research project were interviews, which aimed to collect data on the materials used by the artists and recorded their opinion on how best to preserve their works of art. The data obtained from this research will be entered into a computer database, creating a catalogue that can be continually updated. In addition to promoting the awareness of contemporary muralism, this catalogue will make a significant contribution to the preservation of this type of art and also to theoretical reflection on the problems of restoring contemporary art.I documenti in UNITESI sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
