Abstract

LIF measurements have been carried out on marble samples coming from the most famous quarries of the Mediterranean area. Thanks to multivariate techniques and clustering methods the most significative spectral features linked to geographical provenance have found and tested.
The propaedeutic work previously carried out on the reference samples has allowed for the developing of a fast data processing method of LIF data able to provide, in quasi real time, digital images of the artworks where Italian and Greek marbles are marked differently.
Starting from the obtained results, a LIF scanning prototypal system has been used to scan two masterpieces from Roman period interesting for real restoration and archaeological issues: the sculptured group, called Ares Ludovisi (collection of Palazzo Altemps) and the so-called “Two-orant’s sarcophagus”, housed in the Museum of the Catacombs of San Sebastiano in Rome.
