He started the Gruppo Beni Culturali (Art Diagnostic Group) of INO in 1998 and coordinated it for 14 years. He was the director of the INO Research Unit in Lecce from 2003 to 2016. He managed many research projects for CNR in optical technologies applied to Cultural Heritage diagnostics. In 1998 he started the “Optical Metrology Laboratory for the Diagnostic of Cultural Heritage” at OPD-Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence, an infrastructure still operated jointly by INO and OPD. He has been the coordinator of E-RIHS, the European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science, until 2020.
