In the complex systems represented by the museum-residences, the integrated environmental monitoring and conservation reconnaissance activity on the decorated surfaces of the rooms and on the collections makes it possible to plan ordinary and extraordinary maintenance programmes and risk mitigation plans.
CASE STUDY

Preservative maintenance
Decorated surfaces of architecture
The Centre shall establish conservation survey programmes on the decorated surfaces, stucco and stone materials within the halls of the residences. These activities involve the use of platforms to check the state of conservation at a height and to secure the materials. The program of activities is defined annually on the basis of periodic reports drawn up by the restorers. Particular attention is paid to monitoring the decorated surfaces of the Galleria Grande and the Church of Sant’Uberto della Reggia di Venaria.
CASE STUDY

Ordinary and extraordinary maintenance
Collections of residences
Through a periodic check, defined on the basis of the complexity of the paths of visit and the collections, the restorers analyze the exhibited works by relating the alterations observed with the causes associated with them. This activity is associated with routine maintenance and any conservative emergencies are promptly reported through the reports compiled at the end of the inspection. Together with the staff of the residence-museum, any specific interventions or on-site construction sites are programmed. The Centre is particularly committed to the Savoy Residences such as the Reggia di Venaria, the Hunting Palace of Stupinigi, the Apartments of Borgo Castello de La Mandria.
