The Pantheon of Gaetano Cima in Guasila. Interdisciplinary studies for its structural conservation

Abstract

 

The paper presents the integrated results obtained from an interdisciplinary protocol of research designed for assessing the structural safety and state of conservation of the monument. Starting from the archival researches about the construction history and the restoration works, 3D geometric surveys, diagnostic as well as geognostic investigations have been performed for implementing the knowledge of the structures, characterised by several static problems since its construction. Overall the study has individuated the level of static efficiency of the basilic and the causes of its prolonged decay, stating a base point for the definition of future interventions.
