The Shroud of Turin

Published in 2015, this book not only addresses these issues in a scientific and objective manner but also leads the reader through new search paths. Many books on the theme have been already published, but none of them contains such a large quantity of scientific news and reports.

Giulio Fanti is associate professor of mechanical and thermal measurements at the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Padua, Italy. Since 1997 he has directed his interest to the Shroud, especially with reference to the still scientifically inexplicable body image impressed on it. Prof. Fanti was responsible for university research projects concerning the most important relic of Christianity and has headed for more than 15 years the Shroud Science Group, consisting of about 140 dedicated scientists. He has published more than 200 scientific articles in international journals and has authored 10 books and over 80 scientific articles on the Shroud. Pierandrea Malfi holds a master's degree with honors in mechanical engineering from the University of Padua, Italy. His thesis was based on the mechanical dating of textile fibers, whose results have also been published in scientific journals. He has set up and computerized the Antonio Maria Traversi Physics Museum of Marco Foscarini High School in Venice, Italy, of which he has been scientific curator for more than 10 years.
