About Us

Welcome to Microchemistry and Microscopy Art Diagnostic Laboratory, M2ADL!

The lab is under the Department of Chemistry "Giacomo Ciamician" of University of Bologna and it is located in the Campus of Ravenna.

The M2ADL laboratory operates in the field of chemistry applied to cultural heritage. It consists of a diverse group of researchers  dealing with the development of advanced analytical methods for the characterization of objects of historical and artistic interest and the design of innovative materials for restoration. 

For this purpose, advanced, non-invasive and micro-destructive spectroscopic techniques are used, assisted by chemometric analysis of the data.
