MAURIZIO SERACINI
Engineer & Art Historian
Maurizio Seracini is a pioneer in the use of multispectral imaging to examine works of art. Using diagnostic and analytical technologies, he has studied over 2,500 works of art and historic buildings, including major works by Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Raphael, Caravaggio. In 2008, Italy’s Ministry of Cultural Heritage named Seracini to lead the scientific search for a long lost mural by Leonardo. Not seen in 450 years, Seracini may soon reveal the mystery of “The Battle of Anghiari.”
