Dr Umberto Veronesi is an archaeologist and heritage scientist based in Lisbon. He is specialised in the study of pre-modern technologies and uses scientific techniques as a way to inform historical research. Umberto received his BA in Archaeology from Sapienza Universit\u00e0 di Roma in 2013 before moving to University College London, where he completed the MSc in Archaeological Science. His Ph.D., also at UCL, explored the practice of early modern alchemy through the analysis of laboratory remains from England and colonial Virginia. Umberto has collaborated with historians of art and science, and his work has been published on archaeological, scientific, and historical journals.<\/p>\n

He is currently a research fellow at VICARTE, within the project ChromAz: The chromatic journey of the Portuguese azulejo<\/a><\/em>, where he investigates the colour technology of Portuguese tiles through a combination of scientific analyses, laboratory replications, and remaking experiments.<\/p>\n
