Marco Verità
Graduated in chemistry in 1973 in the University of Padua, was a researcher in the Stazione Sperimentale del Vetro (Murano, Venice, Italy) since 1977 until 2008. Since January 2009 he started a cooperative work with the LAMA Laboratory (Laboratory of
Analysis of Ancient Materials) of the IUAV Architecture University in Venice. His activity concentrates on analyses of glass and related problems by X-ray instrumentation. The main topics studied are: chemical composition of glasses, glazes, refractories and related properties; characterisation of glass surfaces and of the deterioration mechanisms; enamels on glass and metals, glazes and enamels on ceramic body; analyses of ancient glass and glassy materials and studies on ancient technology.
