THE CONFERENCE
From the 22nd to 24th October 2009 will take place, in Ravenna, the First International Meeting
with the title
RAVENNA MUSIVA
Conservation and Restoration of Ancient and Contemporary Mosaic
The Meeting will be realised in collaboration with Ravenna Council, Fondazione RavennAntica,
the City Museum of Art, the Department of History and Methods for the Conservation of Cultural
Heritage and Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna.
The event, the first of a series of appointments that has the city of Ravenna as its stage, is
addressed to researchers that work in various roles in the sector of conservation, custody and
valorisation of mosaic, from ancient to contemporary.
The conference will be organised into sections, with oral papers and posters, both with
papers of invited speakers and papers proposed by other speakers, for the presentation of
the results of the various themes related to mosaic conservation. Among these, the
following themes were chosen and believed to be a priority and strategic:
− Building materials and methods of intervention: between tradition and research innovation
− Open-air display and in situ conservation
− Valorisation and fruition
Roundtables on themes of Conservation and restoration of ancient, modern and contemporary
mosaic and on Training of mosaic restorers complete the picture of scientific activities of the
Conference
The official languages of the meeting are Italian, English and French.

CONTRIBUTIONS
We foresee two different types of oral presentation: papers of invited speakers at the beginning of
the themed sections and ‘oral’ papers proposed by scholars. If the number of proposals were
higher than the available time for oral papers, a poster section is forecast.
The scholars’ proposals will be checked by the Executive Committee on the base of an abstract
(about 2000 characters). After the acceptance, the proposed work is further valued for its
destination: oral or poster.
The completed papers and posters will be published in the Conference Proceedings and will have
to be handed in at the Conference (the instructions for their drawing up and delivery will be
provided on acceptance of the proposal).
The résumés, drawn up in the three official languages according to the clauses found on the
Conference Web site (http://www.ravennamusiva.com) will have to have been sent by the 30th
April 2009 to the Conference Scientific Secretary exclusively via e-mail as an attached Word file, to
the address [email protected], specifying the authors, correspondence author
and affiliation. It is also necessary to indicate the eventual preference on the presentation channel
(oral or poster).
