Description
Summary:In the contemporary world, human and natural calamities are challenging our capabilities to preserve heritage and develop innovative safeguard strategies that also address the requirement of sustainability for restoration purposes, still considering the connection between tradition and innovation. This work introduces non-invasive diagnostic practices that offer a new insight of the built environment by studying two different elements of the same architecture of San Bevignate Templar church: a thermographic mapping obtained with special post-processing procedures provided interesting information about the hidden wall pattern, while a prototypal laser scanner, called RGB-ITR, and a UAV survey supplied new insights on the precious paintings. The assessment of the masonry quality constitutes an a priori condition for a reliable estimation of its seismic vulnerability and for the planning of effective yet conservative interventions. The access keys to 'sustainability' therefore consist in the improvement of these contactless investigations, which can be performed both in passive conditions, in the case of thermography surveys, and in active ones, such as for the RGB-ITR scanner, as necessary substitutes for destructive or partial-destructive tests. The research achieved promising results for the characterisation of the architectural structure and the paintings, with the aim of a long-term monitoring of the structure and the decorative apparatus of a monumental heritage located in an area vulnerable to seismic and environmental events.
