ABSTRACT:

The Museum Park was inaugurated in May 1988. In this area are placed 36 bronze sculptures, cast from works created by Q. Martini from 1931 to 1988. Here we find different subjects, those that the artists saw around him, in the daily country life. From 2009 the Opificio delle Pietre Dure is involved in the conservation of the collection, carrying on scientific investigations and restoration. In this paper we present some of the activities performed in the Park Museum: mechanical and cleaning interventions, analyses for materials, test for resins for outdoor artworks, collaboration with foundries.

KEY WORDS: Museum Park, Quinto Martini, bronze sculptures.
