Descrizione

This survey analyses the painted fragments from excavations conducted in 1996-1997 in the church of San Desiderio in Assago (Milan). During a complete restoration of the church in the mid-sixteenth century, ancient paintings were destroyed and used as material for filling layers. Stylistically an attempt was tried in order to bring out the highest figurative details and data, and to also to include them in a broader pictorial context. With regards instead to the executed decoration’s theme, we are obviously still in the field of hypotheses: from the few findings, it is undoubtedly a ornamentation, which is characterized by the presence of various characters, all probably depicted within a specific theme or expressing a more schematic figurative setting. All above is included within ornamental partitions which are developed in a chromatic range of colors, all tied to its region, and according to the typical Romanic tradition. Crucial point of this survey is the chemical and physical analysis of some significant samples that have helped us to clarify the use of pigments, with amazing results for a chronological collocation.
