This study aims at the evaluation of the conservation state of painted paper ceilings in the museum of Casa Romei (Ferrara). These ceilings are very important as rare witnesses of the art in Ferrara in 1400 to simulate wooden ceilings through painted paper. The overall project, proposed for the study of both the manufacture techniques and the state of conservation, is divided into two stages relative to the knowledge of the materials and the conservation environment. The study involves the artefacts control (diagnostic, materials and products characterisation through biological and chemical analyses) and microclimate monitoring.

To compare the various restorative measurements under competitive environment simulation, may become a major challenge to the concepts to preserve the pieces of the world heritage. Test the ability of the protective measurement before putting it into practice. The primary effects as e. g. a cover, a refreshing of the colour, or an improved light reflection can lead to a disaster if the active acting world of microbes gets support by that action. The way out is to implement test-systems in advance, able to judge the protective measurement under different defined conditions simultaneously.
