About

Fabio Peron is a leading figure in the field of heritage science, with a primary focus on the non-invasive monitoring and preservation of cultural artifacts. His research centers on the application of advanced thermographic techniques to diagnose moisture-related deterioration in historical structures, particularly frescoes. Peron’s major contribution lies in pioneering the use of timed infrared imaging analysis to detect subflorescence and efflorescence—the invisible salt crystallization processes that are among the most destructive threats to wall paintings. His most-cited work, "Monitoring of historical frescoes by timed infrared imaging analysis" (2015, 41 citations), provides a critical methodology for identifying water presence and salt activity before visible damage occurs, enabling targeted conservation interventions. This work has become a foundational reference for conservators and engineers seeking to protect irreplaceable cultural heritage. Through his innovative integration of thermal physics and art conservation, Peron has established a vital bridge between engineering diagnostics and heritage preservation, offering practical tools to safeguard the world’s painted architectural treasures for future generations.
