Italian term or phrase: superficie pittorica
The text is trying to establish whether a signature was added when the painting was done or added later, and there was a crack in the paint which might reveal the answer. This is where it appears: dimostra che la superficie pittorica e la firma sono probabilmente contemporanee o almeno si puo´con sicurezza scientifica affermare che questúltima non e´stata posta sopra. Hope this is enough, thank you and good day
