Il contributo femminile allo sviluppo della storia delle tecniche artistiche. (Corsican)

This essay introduces a review of female scholars, both Italian and foreign, which contributed significantly to Technical Art History, starting from the one who is widely considered as the discipline founder in the 1840s, Mary Philadelphia Merrifield. Despite coming from disparate subject matters such as history, science and conservation, they managed to connect historical and scientific data interdisciplinarily, achieving fundamental results about material properties and creative procedures behind art works.
