Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.98,0:00:05.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In 1975, I met in Florence a professor, Carlo Pedretti,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.05,0:00:08.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my former professor of art history, and today
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.38,0:00:12.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a world-renowned scholar of Leonardo da Vinci.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.56,0:00:16.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, he asked me if I could find some technological way
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.53,0:00:20.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to unfold a five-centuries-old mystery related to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.32,0:00:23.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.14,0:00:25.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the "Battle of Anghiari," which is supposed to be located
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.76,0:00:28.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the Hall of the 500 in Palazzo Vecchio, in Florence.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.71,0:00:31.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, in the mid-'70s, there were not great opportunities
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.81,0:00:35.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for a bioengineer like me, especially in Italy, and so
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.74,0:00:39.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I decided, with some researchers from the United States
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.61,0:00:43.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the University of Florence, to start probing the murals
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.82,0:00:47.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,decorated by Vasari on the long walls of the Hall of the 500
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.94,0:00:50.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,searching for the lost Leonardo.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.62,0:00:54.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unfortunately, at that time we did not know that
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.07,0:00:58.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that was not exactly where we should be looking,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.41,0:01:02.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we had to go much deeper in, and so the research
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.55,0:01:06.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,came to a halt, and it was only taken up in 2000
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.88,0:01:11.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thanks to the interest and the enthusiasm of the Guinness family.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.12,0:01:14.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, this time, we focused on trying to reconstruct
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.35,0:01:17.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the way the Hall of the 500 was before the remodeling,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.21,0:01:21.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the so-called Sala Grande, which was built in 1494,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.02,0:01:23.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to find out the original doors, windows,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.90,0:01:28.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in order to do that, we first created a 3D model,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.65,0:01:31.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then, with thermography, we went on to discover
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.76,0:01:34.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hidden windows. These are the original windows of the hall
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.99,0:01:38.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the Sala Grande. We also found out about the height
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.56,0:01:41.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the ceiling, and we managed to reconstruct, therefore,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.88,0:01:44.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the layout of this original hall
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.53,0:01:48.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the way it was before there came Vasari,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.08,0:01:50.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and restructured the whole thing,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.68,0:01:54.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,including a staircase that was very important
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.01,0:01:58.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in order to precisely place "The Battle of Anghiari"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.15,0:02:02.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on a specific area of one of the two walls.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.42,0:02:05.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, we also learned that Vasari, who was commissioned
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.66,0:02:10.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to remodel the Hall of the 500 between 1560 and 1574
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.14,0:02:14.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by the Grand Duke Cosimo I of the Medici family,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.48,0:02:17.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have at least two instances when he saved masterpieces
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.92,0:02:21.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,specifically by placing a brick wall in front of it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.17,0:02:23.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and leaving a small air gap.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.54,0:02:27.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One that we [see] here, Masaccio, the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.23,0:02:30.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we just said, well maybe, Visari has done something
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.34,0:02:33.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like that in the case of this great work of art by Leonardo,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.73,0:02:36.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since he was a great admirer of Leonardo da Vinci.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.22,0:02:40.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so we built some very sophisticated radio antennas
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.72,0:02:45.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just for probing both walls and searching for an air gap.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.95,0:02:50.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we did find many on the right panel of the east wall,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.79,0:02:53.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an air gap, and that's where
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.41,0:02:54.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we believe "The Battle of Anghiari,"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.96,0:02:56.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or at least the part that we know has been painted,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.92,0:03:00.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is called "The Fight for the Standard," should be located.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.25,0:03:03.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, from there, unfortunately,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.84,0:03:06.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in 2004, the project
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.50,0:03:09.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,came to a halt. Many political reasons.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.65,0:03:11.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I decided to go back to my alma mater,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.98,0:03:14.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, at the University of California, San Diego,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.65,0:03:17.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I proposed to open up a research center
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.02,0:03:19.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for engineering sciences for cultural heritage.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.83,0:03:24.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in 2007, we created CISA3 as a research center
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.35,0:03:27.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for cultural heritage, specifically art, architecture
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.17,0:03:29.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and archaeology. So students started to flow in,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.93,0:03:32.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we started to build technologies, because that's
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.06,0:03:34.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,basically what we also needed in order to move forward
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.71,0:03:37.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and go and do fieldwork.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.47,0:03:41.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We came back in the Hall of the 500 in 2011,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.87,0:03:45.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this time, with a great group of students,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.50,0:03:47.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and my colleague, Professor Falko Kuester,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.94,0:03:50.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who is now the director at CISA3, and we
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.64,0:03:54.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,came back just since we knew already where to look for
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.82,0:03:57.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to find out if there was still something left.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.80,0:04:01.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, we were confined though, limited, I should rather say,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.93,0:04:04.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for several reasons that it's not worth explaining,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.93,0:04:08.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to endoscopy only, of the many other options we had,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.67,0:04:12.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and with a 4mm camera attached to it,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.47,0:04:17.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we were successful in documenting and taking
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.26,0:04:22.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some fragments of what it turns out to be
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.06,0:04:25.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a reddish color, black color, and there is some
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.66,0:04:29.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,beige fragments that later on
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.06,0:04:32.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we ran a much more sophisticated exams,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.05,0:04:37.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,XRF, X-ray diffraction, and the results are very positive
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.29,0:04:39.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so far. It seems to indicate that indeed
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.95,0:04:43.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have found some pigments, and since we know for sure
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.01,0:04:45.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that no other artist has painted on that wall
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.31,0:04:48.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before Vasari came in about 60 years later, well,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.83,0:04:51.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those pigments are therefore firmly related to mural painting
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.69,0:04:54.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and most likely to Leonardo.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.31,0:04:59.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, we are searching for the highest and highly praised
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.13,0:05:02.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work of art ever achieved by mankind.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.37,0:05:05.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As a matter of fact, this is by far the most important
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.58,0:05:08.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,commission that Leonardo has ever had,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.41,0:05:13.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and for doing this great masterpiece, he was named
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.02,0:05:17.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the number one artist influence at the time.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.83,0:05:21.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had also had the privilege since the last 37 years
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.44,0:05:25.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to work on several masterpieces as you can see behind me,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.10,0:05:28.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but basically to do what? Well, to assess, for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.17,0:05:30.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the state of conservation. See here the face of the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.72,0:05:35.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Madonna of the Chair that when just shining a UV light on it
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.45,0:05:38.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you suddenly see another, different lady,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.14,0:05:40.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,aged lady, I should rather say.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.43,0:05:44.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a lot of varnish still sitting there, several retouches,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.02,0:05:46.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and some over cleaning. It becomes very visible.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.87,0:05:50.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But also, technology has helped to write new pages
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.62,0:05:53.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of our history, or at least to update pages of our histories.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.54,0:05:55.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For example, the "Lady with the Unicorn,"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.68,0:05:58.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,another painting by Rafael, well, you see the unicorn.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.16,0:06:00.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot has been said and written about the unicorn, but
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.63,0:06:04.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you take an X-ray of the unicorn, it becomes a puppy dog.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.31,0:06:08.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And — (Laughter) — no problem, but, unfortunately,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.67,0:06:11.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,continuing with the scientific examination of this painting
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.45,0:06:14.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,came out that Rafael did not paint the unicorn,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.45,0:06:17.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,did not paint the puppy dog, actually left the painting
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.10,0:06:21.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unfinished, so all this writing about the exotic symbol
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.84,0:06:24.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the unicorn — (Laughter) — unfortunately,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.73,0:06:27.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is not very reliable. (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.89,0:06:30.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, also, authenticity. Just think for a moment
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.49,0:06:34.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if science really could move in the field of authenticity
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.59,0:06:37.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of works of art. There would be a cultural revolution
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.97,0:06:41.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to say the least, but also, I would say, a market revolution,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.14,0:06:43.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,let me add. Take this example:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.53,0:06:47.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Otto Marseus, nice painting, which is "Still Life"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.22,0:06:51.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the Pitti Gallery, and just have an infrared camera peering through,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.32,0:06:55.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and luckily for art historians, it just was confirmed
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.05,0:06:57.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that there is a signature of Otto Marseus. It even says
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.65,0:07:00.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when it was made and also the location.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.67,0:07:05.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that was a good result. Sometimes, it's not that good,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.06,0:07:10.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so, again, authenticity and science could go together
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.23,0:07:14.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and change the way, not attributions being made,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.53,0:07:18.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but at least lay the ground for a more objective,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.37,0:07:22.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or, I should rather say, less subjective attribution,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.09,0:07:24.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as it is done today.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.84,0:07:28.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I would say the discovery that really caught
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.13,0:07:32.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my imagination, my admiration, is the incredibly vivid
Dialogue: 0,0:07:32.24,0:07:35.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,drawing under this layer, brown layer,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.85,0:07:39.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of "The Adoration of the Magi." Here you see
Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.10,0:07:43.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a handmade setting XYZ scanner with an infrared camera put on it,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.53,0:07:46.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just peering through this brown layer
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.74,0:07:49.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of this masterpiece to reveal
Dialogue: 0,0:07:49.49,0:07:52.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what could have been underneath.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.19,0:07:54.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, this happens to be the most important painting
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.54,0:07:57.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have in Italy by Leonardo da Vinci, and

Dialogue: 0,0:08:02.14,0:08:05.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for five centuries. Look at these portraits.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:05.83,0:08:08.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're magnificent. You see Leonardo at work.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:08.20,0:08:11.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see the geniality of his creation, right directly
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.86,0:08:14.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the ground layer of the panel, and see
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.76,0:08:20.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this cool thing, finding, I should rather say,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:20.84,0:08:24.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an elephant. (Laughter) Because of this elephant,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:24.10,0:08:27.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over 70 new images came out, never seen for centuries.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.87,0:08:31.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This was an epiphany. We came to understand
Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.20,0:08:34.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to prove that the brown coating that we see today
Dialogue: 0,0:08:34.92,0:08:37.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was not done by Leonardo da Vinci, which left us
Dialogue: 0,0:08:37.69,0:08:40.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only the other drawing that for five centuries
Dialogue: 0,0:08:40.20,0:08:45.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we were not able to see, so thanks only to technology.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.41,0:08:49.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, the tablet. Well, we thought, well, if we all have
Dialogue: 0,0:08:49.78,0:08:52.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this pleasure, this privilege to see all this,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:52.56,0:08:56.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to find all these discoveries, what about for everybody else?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:56.10,0:08:58.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we thought of an augmented reality application
Dialogue: 0,0:08:58.94,0:09:03.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using a tablet. Let me show you just simulating
Dialogue: 0,0:09:03.23,0:09:06.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we could be doing, any of us could be doing,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:06.82,0:09:08.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a museum environment.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.99,0:09:13.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's say that we go to a museum with a tablet, okay?
Dialogue: 0,0:09:13.46,0:09:16.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we just aim the camera of the tablet
Dialogue: 0,0:09:16.75,0:09:22.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the painting that we are interested to see, like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:22.88,0:09:28.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay? And I will just click on it, we pause,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:28.76,0:09:32.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and now let me turn to you so the moment the image,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:32.92,0:09:36.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or, I should say, the camera, has locked in the painting,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:36.27,0:09:38.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then the images you just saw up there in the drawing
Dialogue: 0,0:09:38.94,0:09:42.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are being loaded. And so, see.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:42.69,0:09:46.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can, as we said, we can zoom in. Then we can scroll.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:46.50,0:09:51.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay? Let's go and find the elephant.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:51.44,0:09:54.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So all we need is one finger. Just wipe off
Dialogue: 0,0:09:54.70,0:09:59.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we see the elephant. (Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:09:59.24,0:10:02.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:10:02.78,0:10:05.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay? And then if we want,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:05.50,0:10:08.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can continue the scroll to find out, for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:08.28,0:10:12.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the staircase, the whole iconography is going
Dialogue: 0,0:10:12.37,0:10:14.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be changed. There are a lot of laymen reconstructing
Dialogue: 0,0:10:14.70,0:10:17.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the ruins of an old temple a new temple,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:17.33,0:10:21.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there are a lot of figures showing up. See?
Dialogue: 0,0:10:21.12,0:10:24.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is not just a curiosity, because it changes
Dialogue: 0,0:10:24.32,0:10:27.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not just the iconography as you see it, but the iconology,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:27.37,0:10:29.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the meaning of the painting,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:29.72,0:10:32.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we believe this is a cool way, easy way,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.51,0:10:35.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that everybody could have access to, to become more
Dialogue: 0,0:10:35.65,0:10:38.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the protagonist of your own discovery, and not just
Dialogue: 0,0:10:38.75,0:10:42.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be so passive about it, as we are when we walk through
Dialogue: 0,0:10:42.12,0:10:46.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,endless rooms of museums.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:46.31,0:10:51.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:10:51.65,0:10:55.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another concept is the digital clinical chart, which sounds
Dialogue: 0,0:10:55.41,0:10:57.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very obvious if we were to talk about real patients,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:57.88,0:11:00.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but when we talk about works of art, unfortunately,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:00.14,0:11:02.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's never been tapped as an idea.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:02.27,0:11:04.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, we believe, again, that this should be the beginning,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:04.82,0:11:07.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the very first step, to do real conservation,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:07.31,0:11:10.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and allowing us to really explore and to understand
Dialogue: 0,0:11:10.80,0:11:13.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everything related to the state of our conservation,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:13.59,0:11:16.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the technique, materials, and also if, when, and why
Dialogue: 0,0:11:16.96,0:11:21.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we should restore, or, rather, to intervene on
Dialogue: 0,0:11:21.55,0:11:25.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the environment surrounding the painting.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:25.08,0:11:28.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, our vision is to rediscover
Dialogue: 0,0:11:28.50,0:11:30.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the spirit of the Renaissance, create a new discipline
Dialogue: 0,0:11:30.90,0:11:34.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where engineering for cultural heritage is actually
Dialogue: 0,0:11:34.51,0:11:37.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a symbol of blending art and science together.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:37.22,0:11:39.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We definitely need a new breed of engineers
Dialogue: 0,0:11:39.64,0:11:42.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that will go out and do this kind of work and
Dialogue: 0,0:11:42.38,0:11:46.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rediscover for us these values, these cultural values
Dialogue: 0,0:11:46.72,0:11:49.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we badly need, especially today.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:49.27,0:11:53.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you want to summarize in one just single word,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:53.01,0:11:55.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well, this is what we're trying to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:55.92,0:11:58.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're trying to give a future to our past
Dialogue: 0,0:11:58.16,0:12:00.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in order to have a future.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:00.56,0:12:03.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As long as we live a life of curiosity and passion,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:03.63,0:12:07.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is a bit of Leonardo in all of us. Thank you. (Applause)
