The research concerns the technological innovation applied to the architectonical heritage conservation and restoration field, particularly for what concern the use of non-traditional materials in conservative interventions and how they are received on the basis of the principles of restoration. Starting from the comprehension of the values of the architectonical heritage up to the studying of the traditional technologies, methodologies and materials used for the protection conservation and enhancement of the historical surfaces the research field has been restricted in the study of the synthetic transparent materials aimed at the enhancement. protection and conservation of the historical architectonical external structures. The technical properties of the synthetic transparent materials, shaped in horizontal or vertical sheets or protective panels, and the characteristic of transparency represent, for the intervention on the historical materials, a protective System and a means with important potentiality thanks to the large compatrbility with the needs that an intervention on historical surfaces requires. The topic of the transparency is Iinked with the double need of protection of the historical architectonical structures or surfaces and, at the mean time, the warrant of a good vision of the monument with the minimum possible visual and environmental impact. The starting point of the research is the introduction of the synthetic transparent materials as protective and enhancing means in restoration field. The aim of the research is the definition of the actual outline of the synthetic transparent materials applications in conservative field. the definition of the outline of best-practices and the experimental definition of the best synthetic materials for the protection of surfaces.
