Step into the heart of Italian artistry at the Merlini Storti Restauro studio. This exclusive tour offers guests an intimate glimpse into the world of art conservation, guided by leading Italian experts Valeria Merlini and Daniela Storti, who have restored numerous masterpieces including three paintings by Caravaggio. You'll have the chance to appreciate the artisanal aspect of an artist’s creative work.
Begin your journey with a close-up view of contemporary artworks undergoing delicate restoration. Marvel at the intricate chemical and stylistic process that has revived numerous masterpieces. You'll gain a deeper understanding of art techniques and materials, enriching your relationship with art. Then, roll up your sleeves and create oil paints and egg tempera paints like the old masters, mixing natural pigments with linseed oil and egg yolk.
Finally, you will be given a small canvas, previously prepared by the artists to allow the colors to dry, using the same techniques you've just learned. This keepsake will serve as a delightful reminder of your time in the atelier. And to conclude this 90-minute artistic adventure, you're invited to join an aperitif. Immersing yourself in the Merlini Storti restoration studio is not just a tour; it's an experience that brings you closer to the heart of Italian artistry.
