Study of Michelangelo Palloni’s Giornate

The research focuses on the frescoes of the Sapieha Palace, aiming to determine their technological execution, condition, and ensure proper preservation. For the first time in Lithuania, advanced non-invasive methods such as 3D imaging technologies, LIDAR scanning, infrared reflectography (IRR), and UV fluorescence were applied. These techniques enabled the precise identification of fresco giornata boundaries, verified against a map created by restorer Domas Noreika. The study emphasizes the importance of documentation in the conservation-restoration process, in line with the ICOMOS Charter principles. The results demonstrate that advanced technologies significantly expand the possibilities for analyzing, documenting, and restoring Michelangelo Palloni’s frescoes in Lithuania.
