The team

Dalmática is formed by a multidisciplinary team of highly competent professionals. There are no bosses or employees at the company – we are all collaborators, we all have the same importance, we all wear the same shirt.

We like to understand our interpersonal dynamics as a family, in which, of course, some of us assume more responsibilities, but where the relevance of each one’s work is equally significant for the construction of team work.

For the existence of Dalmática as it is – professional, human and multidisciplinary – we rely on the daily delivery of conservators-restorers, conservation and restoration technicians, theologians, historians, archaeologists, sociologists, architects, journalists, image reporters, designers and other professionals.
