Luzzana Restauri

After a training at various shops, especially in Bergamo, the owner, Giacomo Luzzana, followed a period of apprenticeships with prof. Ottemi della Rotta, for numerous projects, such as the restoration of the frescoes by Moretto in the palazzo Martinengo in Brescia, of the paintings by Camillo Boccaccino, Giulio and Bernardino Campi in S. Sigismondo of Cremona, of the frescoes by Pinturicchio in the Vatican.

Luzzana Restauri srl was established in continuity with the work of the artisan laboratory developed since 1979 directed by master Giacomo Luzzana.
From the beginning, work was subject to the precise end of the recovery of the artistic testimonies through an interlocutory attention with the works themselves.
In this context it has pursued both building a positive relationship with the customer to guide choices and achieve adequate interpretations in the philology of restoration and constructive dialogue with the Protection Organisations also through the direct debate on operations and artefacts.
This line, which arose from previous work experiences, has borne significant fruit constituting the basis for the transformation of the company.
In fact, the appreciation of the quality of work has created trusting relations with the various subjects, while leading to more and more extensive and complex works, so as to determine the transformation into Luzzana Restauri srl in 1998. The new reality has enhanced the peculiar characteristics of the original company, for which the base of the work is entrusted to the restorers, according to their specific skills, in harmony with the requirements of the Protection Organisations. The figure of the restorer still prevails, flanked by other realities designed to further complete the study and knowledge of the artefact, such as chemists and historical researchers. In time and for the objectives indicated above, collaboration has also intensified with professional firms interested in the recovery of monumental complexes and with diagnostic research institutes.

The company staff is currently divided as follows according to the different professional skills:
1 managing director / restorer, 7 restorers, 4 restorers collaborators, 2 skilled workers, 1 technical employee, 2 administrative clerks.

Franco Blumer

The peculiarity of every conservation and restoration project, as well as the integral realisation and finishing of decorative objects and furnishings, comes from the always enthusiastic and in-depth research of Franco Blumer.

An approach that since 1978 is identified with the autonomous activity of a laboratory able to bring to light ancient artefacts, wisely reconstructing their origins through a precise historical-temporal mapping.

The detailed knowledge of the provenance and of the conservative states, in order to prepare the restoration, is essential to avoid any risky manipulations.
In fact, the Blumer laboratory guarantees the highest quality level, continuously supported by the growing requests from museums, dioceses and private collectors.

Offering experience and expertise is one of the strengths of the Blumer laboratory, always ready to invest in the most updated learning and technological innovation. This translates into the application of the most advanced tools for reconstruction and/or reproduction of artefacts of a sacred or secular nature according to criteria of integrity and functionality.

A state-of-the-art service that, excluding any style completion or invasive removal, constantly aims to merge the control of the state of affairs and maintenance with the design and execution of restorations that respect first and foremost the appearance of the materials.

The conservation and recovery projects, planned and directed by the Superintendency of Historic and Artistic Heritage and of Environmental and Architectural Heritage of the provinces of Bergamo, Milan, Como, Lecco, Lodi, Sondrio, Brescia, Cremona and Mantua, are carried out on works coming from Museums and public and private institutions.

Among the main works carried out are the restorations carried out on the artefacts of the Grande Museo del Tesoro of the Milan Cathedral, the restoration and re-gilding of the Madonnina of the Milan Cathedral (intervention made in situ), the statues of Sant’Alessandro in Paladina, S.

Baldis Restauri

The Silvia Baldis Restauri laboratory has been working in the field of conservation of artistic artefacts since 1985, obtaining certifications and certificates of conformity and quality for the organisation and the work completed (SOA Certification, cat.OS2, grade three, ISO 9001 Certification and First Quality Award, Benchart Project 2007 – Lombardy Artisan Excellence).

The areas in which the company operates range from murals to architectural elements, stone and stucco, from paintings on canvas to those on panel, polychrome and/or gilded. The conservation and recovery projects, planned and directed by the Superintendency of Historic and Artistic Heritage and of Environmental and Architectural Heritage of the provinces of Bergamo, Milan, Como, Lecco, Lodi, Sondrio, Brescia, Cremona and Mantua, are carried out on works coming from Museums and public and private institutions.
Among the main works carried out are the murals of the archaeological area of the Cathedral of S. Alessandro Martire in Bergamo Alta, the Bramante façade of Casa Fontana – Silvestri in Corso Venezia in Milan, the recovery of the façade of the Natural History Museum in Piazza Cittadella in Bergamo Alta, the murals and canvas paintings of the Cathedral of St. Alessandro Martire in Bergamo Alta, the recovery of the internal decorative apparatus of the multifunctional centre of the former church of the Assumption in Sarnico (Bg), the external vestments of the Fatebenefratelli Cultural Centre in Valmadrera (LC) and numerous internal and external decorative apparatuses of churches and ecclesiastical complexes, such as the church of Santi Gervaso and Protaso – Tenuta Invernizzi (Trenzanesio – MI), the Church of S. Marco in Foresto Sparso (Bg), the former Church of the Angel in Lodi, the Church of the Holy Trinity in Crema, of the sacristy of S. Maria inter vites of Bergamo and of the external terracotta vestments and of the interior frescoes of the former church of Santa Maria della Vittoria with paintings by Mantegna in Mantua.

Ample space is also dedicated to design consultancy, where research and study of materials and their pathologies are central. The desire to carry out a restoration focused on the real needs of the artefact using all the possibilities given by the continuous innovations in the protection of cultural heritage, led Silvia Baldis Restauri to collaborations with important internationally recognised institutes that deal with research and conservation, such as the Opificio delle Pietre Dure of Florence, the Cesmar7 of Padua and the Institute for the Conservation and Enhancement of Cultural Heritage of the CNR, as well as the use of cutting-edge technologies directly acquired and tested.

The activity is directed with passion and professionalism by the owner Silvia Baldis who, after having achieved a specialisation in restoration of murals at the Regional School for the Valorisation of Cultural Heritage of Botticino (BS), began to work in this field accumulating direct experience and constantly aiming and investing in her own updating, which she believes essential to be able to experiment and adopt new methods and techniques useful for the progress in the protection of historical-artistic assets. Currently the company’s staff is made up of permanent workers and a series of external collaborators, chosen for their expertise and specialisation, so as to ensure a high quality work in the various sectors in which it operates.
