Summary/Abstract: One of the final intervention set of restoration processes is the chromatic integration. Its role is not structural but aesthetic. As its correct execution can make a big difference from previous stages of the appearance of the painting, the same thing can happen in case of a poor execution. Drawn by the desire to apprehend the most appropriate manner realize these types of interventions, various concepts started to be taken under consideration, being later on theorized by Cesare Brandi. Since the 18th century, along with the emerging concepts of artwork authenticity and legibility of the restoration interventions, the integration process is reconsidered as an intervention that should not overlap the lacunae’s outline. In order to avoid inappropriate interventions which may affect the aesthetical appearance of an artwork, new solutions have been researched to improve institutional regulations and enhance the legislation authority in the field of cultural heritage preservation, by enforcing guiding principles for the restorers, looser or more rigorous in their substance.
