Restorers swap brushes for lasers in the first restoration of an iconic Roman monument in 40 years -
💨 Abstract
In Rome, restorers are using laser beams to clean a 47-meter tall marble column in front of the prime minister’s office. Built between A.D. 180 and 193, the column features a spiral relief depicting the battles of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. The restoration, funded by the European recovery fund, includes chemical treatments and scaffolding to preserve the monument's details.
