Objectives

» Research for Cultural Heritage
Like any important research, Research for Cultural Heritage should be provided with the "Objectives" section, in order to better understand why a web space is so special and particular.

Let's just cut to the chase: this blog is born with the will to disseminate the sciences applied to Cultural Heritage. This is a world still unknown in Italy as in many other countries around the World.
If you are talking to your friends and one of them asks "What do you do in life? What did you study?" and you answer, "I am studying diagnostics for Cultural Heritage," the most common reaction you will get is "Ah" with a sudden change of speech. If your interlocutor wants to keep on the conversation, he /she will ask you if you restore works of art. Then, you have to go in explaining that you are a chemist, a physician, a biologist ... and eventually there will be another "Ah" of your interlocutor.
Of course, being a diagnostician makes a little less cool than saying "I'm a nuclear engineer" or "... a criminal lawyer" or "medical surgeon" (in that case you would have a great effect among your friends who will tell you an Aaaah "of admiration).

So, apart from this life-experience, we can also say that study courses are somewhat confusing about diagnostics.

The goal of this blog is to make known this world so varied and unfamiliar. The objective will be implemented with articles written by students extremely passionate about what they are studying (though not so popular!).
We do not want to be a highly scientific blog - so we refer to specialized sites, as well as to a good bibliographic search on ScienceDirect or Scopus- but we want to tackle the common themes of the Sciences applied to Cultural Heritage. In this way it is possible to open a discussion, to peer and raise the interest of some young student who wants to approach this world.

So, I just need to wish you a good read, hoping the posts will like you!
