A method to check the authenticity of articles, each provided with at least one optical reading marking, the method comprising: providing each authentic article with an optical reading marking (8) containing a reference information content (INF8ref) and printed by means of an ink comprising a fluorescent pigment, which is able to excite, when it is illuminated by a flash (4) of a mobile electronic device (1), and to emit, when it is excited, a light that has a negligible intensity compared to the light emitted by the flash (4); for each of the articles to be checked, capturing, by means of a camera (3) of the mobile electronic device (1), at least one first image (IM1) of the relative marking (8) while the flash (4) is on and at least one second image (IM2) of the marking (8) after having switched off the flash (4); and processing the images captured in order to obtain information (INF8aq) concerning the marking and to determine the authenticity - or lack thereof - of the article as a function of the information (INF8aq) obtained and of the reference information content (INF8ref). |
