DESCRIPTION:I will briefly present the ways on how to paint on glass\, as 
 described in historical written sources\, discussing the importance of thi
 s knowledge for the preservation of historical materials and for the histo
 ry of making. The case studies presented in this seminar establish a commo
 n thread for the research I have developed in the last fifteen years. The 
 exploration of historical recipes to reconstruct paints that were used to 
 produce stained-glass has allowed me to delve deeply into the following qu
 estions: To what extent did glassmakers follow existing glass recipes when
  producing glass? What is the relationship between the composition of glas
 s\, glass-based paints and their evolution? How can this information be us
 ed today to preserve this cultural heritage?\nThe content of the seminar w
 ill allow a multifaceted discussion on a theme that embraces past\, presen
 t and future research directions and pathways.
