Bollettino ICR

The Bollettino ICR is a new semestral publication edited by
Istituto Centrale per il Restauro in Rome. The Bollettino directed
by Cesare Brandi was a very prestigious publication between 1950
and 196; the last number of the first series was released in 1967.
Now thanks to Michele Cordaro, ICR Director for 5 years, a "Nuova
Serie" is out. Michele Cordaro, always curious to learn and use new
technologies and promote the sharing of the ICR's knowledge, passed
away in the past year and now the Director is Art Historian
Almamaria Mignosi Tantillo. In the  first issue (no. 1, 2000) there
are only articles in Italian but it's possible accept contribution
both in Italian and in English language.
