On 26th of April we came back from the study visit in Florence.
During one week our group of 8 participants took part in workshops run by artisan masters from European Centre for Restoration and ORO e COLORE school and laboratory. Workshops were very intensive, however we found also opportunities for exploring Florence, individually and alltogether. We used this time in 100%.
Warm welcome prepared by Centro Machiavelli (thank you!):
Guided tour in the first day (best practices in wooden door renovation and most important places in the historical centre of Florence):
Workshops in European Centre for Restoration run by Prof. Simone Beneforti – renovation of wooden doors and windows, most important information about wood and ways of its conservation and renovation:
