The brochure presents research and conservation-restoration work on the Paradise, Purgatory and Hell painting by Francesco Ugheto. The painting (1654, tempera on canvas, 960×460 cm) from the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in the Franciscan Monastery in Košljun was restored in 2004 and 2005 in the Croatian Conservation Institute.
The heavily damaged Renaissance crucifix from the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Cathedral in Rab was brought to the Croatian Conservation Institute's workshops in pieces. It was consolidated, recomposed and restored in 2005.
The brochure brings a concise presentation of conservation work on the Baroque votive monument of the Holy Trinity in Požega, also known as the Plague Memorial. Conservation-restoration included surface cleaning, mechanical and chemical cleaning, after which prints were taken to make plaster models. Missing parts were reconstructed and a plaster cast was used to make a stone replica. The original monument was dismantled for protection and replaced by a replica in the main square in Požega.
