Abstract
The characteristics and the causes of decay of a stone taken from a statue in Borgomanero (Italy) have been examined before undertaking conservation. Chemical, mineralogical, petrographical, and physical analyses have been performed. The alteration products have also been analyzed and correlated with the environmental temperature and relative humidity. The most suitable conservation treatment has been chosen. The work methodology (cleaning, consolidation, protection) is extensively described as well as the products employed.
