The Archive is a valuable resource for the conservation community for different reasons:
\r\n
\r\n• The significance of the heritage sites documented through Torraca’s work, including a wide number of properties inscribed in the World Heritage List, e.g. the historic centre of Rome (The Coliseum, Roman Forum, Domus Aurea, Campidoglio); and archaeological areas, such as Herculaneum, Selinunte, and Paestum.
\r\n
\r\n• The historical period covered (beginning of 1980s - 2010), representing almost 30 years of conservation science history.
\r\n
\r\n• In particular, the material samples are a unique resource as in many of the heritage sites documented in this collection the taking of samples is nowadays prohibited. Potentially these samples could be re-used applying non-destructive analysis techniques, which could allow further investigation and knowledge of these sites."},{"label":"Access requirements","value":"To grant access to the samples, researchers need to contact ICCROM Archivist in advance and demonstrate a legitimate need."},{"label":"Finding aids","value":"A list is available in ICCROM Archives"},{"label":"Summary Description","value":"The Torraca Samples Archive is composed of c. 5 000 material samples (mostly mortars and plasters) collected from heritage sites and monuments mostly from Italy, but also Ethiopia (Gondar) and Turkey (Istanbul). The samples were collected by Giorgio Torraca between the 1980s - 2000s to be analyzed during a large number of restoration projects that Mr. Torraca developed and supervised, in collaboration with public institutions, ministries and private foundations.
\r\n
\r\nThe restoration projects refer to monuments from Avellino, Basilicata, Bologna, Herculaneum, Matera, Milano, Naples (S. Chiara), Paestum, Salerno, Ravenna, Reggio Emilia, Rome (Campidoglio, Colosseum, Domus Tiberiana, Catacombe Pretestato, Column of Antoninus Pius, Trajan's Column, Trajan's Markets, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Tor di Nona, Basilica of Saints John and Paul, Teatro Marcello, etc.), Selinunte, Taormina, Venice, etc."},{"label":"Type of users","value":"Researchers engaged in cultural heritage research"},{"label":"Date of creation of the archive","value":"1986"},{"label":"Geographic Distribution","value":"Mostly Italy, but also Ethiopia and Turkey"},{"label":"Date of closure of the archive","value":"2010"},{"label":"Accessibility","value":"Yes - upon request"},{"label":"Creator(s) of the archive","value":"Giorgio Torraca"}],"sequences":[{"@id":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/sequence/normal","@type":"sc:Sequence","label":"Current Page Order","viewingHint":"individuals","canvases":[{"@id":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/canvas/23170","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"1","width":2000,"height":1329,"images":[{"@id":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/annotation/23170","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","on":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/canvas/23170","resource":{"@id":"https://iccrom.archiui.com/cataloga/media/iccrom/images/2/3/1/47433_ca_object_representations_media_23170_original.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2000,"height":1329,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","@id":"https://iiif.archiui.com/iiif/2/iccrom-images-2-3-1-47433_ca_object_representations_media_23170_original.jpg"}}}]},{"@id":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/canvas/23171","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"2","width":1250,"height":2000,"images":[{"@id":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/annotation/23171","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","on":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/canvas/23171","resource":{"@id":"https://iccrom.archiui.com/cataloga/media/iccrom/images/2/3/1/34421_ca_object_representations_media_23171_original.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":1250,"height":2000,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","@id":"https://iiif.archiui.com/iiif/2/iccrom-images-2-3-1-34421_ca_object_representations_media_23171_original.jpg"}}}]},{"@id":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/canvas/23172","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"3","width":2000,"height":1206,"images":[{"@id":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/annotation/23172","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","on":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/canvas/23172","resource":{"@id":"https://iccrom.archiui.com/cataloga/media/iccrom/images/2/3/1/93410_ca_object_representations_media_23172_original.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":2000,"height":1206,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","@id":"https://iiif.archiui.com/iiif/2/iccrom-images-2-3-1-93410_ca_object_representations_media_23172_original.jpg"}}}]},{"@id":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/canvas/23174","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"4","width":4032,"height":3024,"images":[{"@id":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/annotation/23174","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","on":"https://samplearchives.iccrom.org/iiif/manifest/en/41709/canvas/23174","resource":{"@id":"https://iccrom.archiui.com/cataloga/media/iccrom/images/2/3/1/94392_ca_object_representations_media_23174_original.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":4032,"height":3024,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","@id":"https://iiif.archiui.com/iiif/2/iccrom-images-2-3-1-94392_ca_object_representations_media_23174_original.jpg"}}}]}]}]}
