Abstract

The debate on graphic vandalism is recent in Italy and there are few comprehensive studies on this subject. The graffitism isnot only an aesthetic damage but a serious and irreversible degradation of the stone, by altering its state of preservation in airreversible way. This work approaches the graphic vandalism by following two routes: a) the micro analytical study of theinteraction of spray varnishes with some stone samples (obtained from Ragusa and Palazzolo (Sicily) lythothypes) and withreal stone samples (coming from historical buildings sited in Ortigia-Syracuse); b) the testing of the effectiveness andefficiency of some commercial products used to remove the varnish constituents from some stone specimens, by checking thepresence of residues onto the analyzed surfaces. In both cases, several micro analytical techniques were used.
