This essay divulges what the research has established about the famous Shroud of Turin, and  it is not intended to persuade to believe that the Cloth of Turin really wrapped the body of Christ a couple of thousands year ago.
The author returns several times to certain subjects, according to different perspectives: the reader does not consider such reiterations as not necessary and involuntary: the work includes a general introductory part - at some point, considering it useful, already with in-depth studies, as for the medical conclusions of the anatomopathologist Pierluigi Baima Bollone - and a section, divided into chapters, specifically dealing with particular topics already covered in the first part, for example the photographs of the Shroud, and a chronology.
This essay has been updated several times by the author.
The essay is not intended to persuade to believe that the Sheet of Turin has really wrapped the body of Christ a couple of thousand years ago or, as commonly said, that it is authentic- 
On the other hand, authenticity can also mean something else, you can say the Shroud preserved in Turin is the Cloth that wrapped body of Christ, but it could be different than simply assume that an item is two thousand years old; and if I do not take a position on the fact that this famous Sheet wrapped Jesus, I suppose that the reasons for thinking that the Shroud is very ancient are prevailing, as there are currently lots of evidence to support it and only two against, of which only one seems objectively to be considered: the radiodating tests on Shroud samples which determined the age of the Sheet at lower medieval period; but they are increasingly disputed by Christian experts, scientifically and not only. The other reason against the Shroud is a prejudice, that comes both from anticlerical laity
and from the majority of the Christians Reformed, preclusion that leads the first to ignore the theme, and sometime to mock it; and leads the Protestant believers to condemn the veneration of the Shroud, which they consider to be a mere ”symbol” created by human hands: they follow the Old Testament condemnation of ”make for yourself images”, historically born for anti-idolatrous reasons, although Catholics argue that the prohibition existed only before God was incarnated in Jesus, showing himself to the world as ”image”, that is as carnal human figure, without any possibility to be confused with graven images; there are, moreover, Catholics who deny authenticity, in the sense that the Shroud isn't precisely the one that wrapped Jesus , and you can find Protestants which assume it is authentic, at least in the second sense of the term or even in the first. In any case, it should be stressed that the Christian faith is not based on the Shroud of Turin but, historically, on the oral witness of the Apostles on Christ’s resurrection, gathered within the first century in the books of the New Testament and come down to us because it was preserved by the Church over the centuries, with systematic control of matching between the new copies and the previous ones, starting with the oldest.
With this spirit comes the second edition of the essay of Guido Pagliarino on the Shroud, , carried out considering new data and correcting a couple of inaccuracies in the book released years ago
The author returns several times to certain subjects, according to different perspectives: the reader does not consider such reiterations as not necessary and involuntary: the work includes a general introductory part - at some point, considering it useful, already with in-depth studies, as for the medical conclusions of the anatomopathologist Pierluigi Baima Bollone - and a section, divided into chapters, specifically dealing with particular topics already covered in the first part, for example the photographs of the Shroud, and a chronology.

The Shroud of Turin, simply known as “The Shroud” all over the world, is still a mysterious cloth for the most part.

Several stains, whose origin and interpretation is only partially known, can be found on the Shroud, which is like a photographic negative for some of them and not for others.

No doubt . ..

Patches and burn marks are clearly detectable on this sheet.

After sampling and analysis by experts, microscopic pollen of plants from Middle East and Alps were found on the Shroud. Furthermore, evidence of aloe and myrrh was identified, along with aragonite (a composition of calcium carbonate, iron and strontium); the latter is a mineral present in Jerusalem, and in particular inside a tomb examined by the University of Chicago researcher Riccardo Levy-Setti who claimed that the two soil, respectively coming from the Shroud and from the Jerusalem grave, were exactly the same type.

Definitely there are AB type clotted bloodstains with trace of human male DNA on the linen cloth, according to studies by several internationally renowned pathologists, such as Pier Luigi Baima Bollone (professor emeritus of Forensic Medicine at the University of Turin).

By the way: It is curious that the same AB group blood was detected on the Sudarium of Oviedo (Spain), a 83x52 cm cloth. These are mirror-like bloodstains and, according to many, they overall would look like a human face 9. Furthermore, it is interesting that the remains (relics) of the miracle which, according to tradition, occurred in the city of Lanciano, Italy, in the 8th century (a monk had doubted the presence of Christ in the Eucharist when, during a Mass celebration, bread and wine suddenly turned into flesh and blood) are: AB group clotted blood, the same as the Shroud; human flesh from myocardial tissue (as emerged from the analysis by the pathologist Professor Odoardo Linoli in 1970). 10

Some bloodstains on the Shroud present blood serum (typical of a postmortem blood); but others, instead, appear to have been produced by a person still alive.

The Cloth definitely suffered burns in the past. For example, the scorch marks resulting from the fire in the chapel of Chambery, Savoy, where the Sheet was safeguarded, on December 4th 1532 (see Chronology, 1532 A.D.) are clearly visible: two charred lines throughout the length of the Cloth; holes, which later were patched up by the Poor Clare nuns of a nearby convent, who also sewed a backing Holland Cloth on the back of the sheet. Those repairs and the Holland cloth were removed during the 2002 restoration of the Shroud.

The back and front image of a human body is clearly imprinted on the linen - фото 4

The back and front image of a human body is clearly imprinted on the linen cloth. Essentially, this figure appears as a photographic negative; but, once exposed on a photographic film, or earlier on a photographic plate, it emerged as a photographic positive. It is as the Man on the Shroud had looked himself in the mirror and his reflected image had been imprinted on it as a photographic negative: like in each negative and like in a mirrored image, the right side appears as the left one, and vice versa.

For clarity, I'm going to compare a positive and negative picture of a Byzantine painted icon with a photographic positive and negative of the Shroud Man's face:

1) Photograph of an icon (by human hands)

2): Negative of the same photograph

3)Photograph of the Shroud's Face

4) Negative of the same photograph

The lines crossing the Shroud Face's hair and beard are two folds on the sheet, probably caused by the backing cloth sewed by the Poor Clares Nuns of Chambery on its back after the 1532 fire. They appear positive in the right photo and negative in the left one, unlike the face; likewise the bloodstains, such as one very clear on the forehead, which has a картинка 6(or a "reversed 3") shape in the right image (on the left of the reader) and a "3" shape in the mirrored left picture.

The cloth definitely is consistent with the type used to wrap the corpses in - фото 7

The cloth definitely is consistent with the type used to wrap the corpses in Palestine at the time of Christ, although it was common to bandage the body differently, like the Egyptians used to do, and as it is reported in the Gospel of John about Lazarus of Betània episode 11. When wrapped in a shroud, the body was lying on half of the burial cloth, with the feet at the end and the head to the middle of the Cloth (but sometimes placed in the inverted position); the other half then being drawn over the head to cover the body, which remained inside the cloth (as the picture above shows).

Linen cloth or strips ?

The evangelists Matthew, Mark and Luke write that Jesus was placed into a sindòn, a linen shroud; on the contrary, John uses the word linen cloths instead of shroud, “bende” according to the Italian translation. Consequently, many people think and claim that the Shroud of Turin actually is a forgery. Let's try to solve this "mystery" concerning the strips through the reading of the related Gospels' verses: I have already given you a clue.

"When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who also was a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus . Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away" (Matthew, 27, 57 - 60).

"And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the Council, who was also himself looking for the Kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead, and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. When he learned from the centurion that it was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. And Joseph bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb " (Mark 15, 42 - 46).
