Statistical Analysis Of Dusts Taken From Different Areas Of The Turin Shroud

This paper has been written in honour of the lamented Giovanni Riggi di Numana, a later STURP Member who was authorized to vacuum some dusts from the Turin Shroud in 1978 and 1988. One of his purposes was to detect and sample linen fibers coming from the Turin Shroud from other particles, that will be useful for future studies. For this reason he freely and gratis furnished some aspired dusts “to lost fund” to the first author. The present paper is a first result to realize hope of Giovanni Riggi di Numana who should have been very happy to see that his important contribution to the Turin Shroud was not forgotten by the scientific community.
