SUMMARY
The purpose of this docthoral thesis, titled "Restorers in Canton Ticino between Ottocento and Novecento. Classification and data management.", is to recognize and classify the most relevant characters, promoters of the historical and artistic patrimony revaluation in their canton, specifically in the field of wall paintings, from the most known painters and restorers like Edoardo Berta, Emilio Ferrazzini and Tita Pozzi, to the least known like Carlo Cotti, Ottorino Olgiati, Mario Mogila, Nino Facchinetti, Carlo Mazzi and Pompeo Maino.
The information gathered from the heterogeneous set of documents that form the public records, private records and libraries has been analyzed and arranged in order to characterize the executive praxis of each restorer, and to serve the future research, professional restorers, historians ?and conservators. To achieve this, the newest database programs able to contain, relate and visualize that information have been studied, paying attention to essential requirements like the use of normalized terminology, allow free access to data and the creation of a wide and 'alive' net that favours memory diffusion.
