During the PNNR “Jerus-it-Arts” project, I organized educational and didactical experience to different Italian cities and international workshop on leather and parchemnt bookbinding conservation (materials used in the musical bookbinding manuscripts tradition) for fourth- and fifth-year students at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan. I had also an important rule as a consulted for the library of the Custody of the Holy Land in Jerusalem. This involved direct and ongoing dialogue with the library director  on various topics such as pest control, disinfection, environmental conservation parameters, digitalization and the conservation and stabilization of library manusucript, printed, old and modern book.
