  Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) is a powerful remote and non-invasive
analysis technique that has been successfully applied to the real-time
diagnosis of historical artworks. Hyperspectral images collection on fresco' s
and their false colours processing allowed to reveal features invisible to the
naked eye and to obtain specific information on pigments composition and
consolidants utilization, the latter also related to former restorations. This
report presents the results obtained by ENEA LIF scanning system during a field
campaign conducted in June 2010 on fresco's by Giusto de' Menabuoi in the Padua
Baptistery. The data collected by LidArt allowed the detection of Paraloid B72
and Movilith/Primal AC33, guiding the restorers in their conservation actions.
