Summary

This report documents all deterioration to the painted surfaces at Villa Alba. It continues on from earlier surveys in 1986 and 1996, and follows recommendations by Artcare that the building should be surveyed every five years. The five year frequency has not yet been achieved and the conditions described in this report underline the need to adhere to this frequency. The report also outlines the installation of movement monitors throughout the building and reports on the readings taken after three months. These short term readings are not of any great concern but illustrate that the system is working and sensitive to small changes even over such a short period. This report includes a CD containing images of each room. There are available light digital images of variable quality but they do document all of the visible components of each room.
