Giovanna C. Scicolone has been dealing with the restoration of ancient works of art on canvas on board as well as contemporary  polimateric and unusual ones.

She has designed new products for the restoration, she carries out research on synthetic and natural materials and she has created new  methods of intervention that are more respectful of the original  consistency of art compared with the traditional ones. She teaches at Italian and foreign Universities, Restoration Academies and Schools (in particular - since 1987- at the ENAIP School in Botticino). She has theorized the “contemporary restoration” since 1985 in numerous publications and texts .
She has set up procedures of design of interventions created by scientific approach.

She carries out analyses and provides consulting service to restorers, Museums and Art Galleries, Regional Boards of Cultural Heritage and Environmental Conservation, etc.
