A stratigraphic analysis applied to the architectural remains of the medieval domus Apicii (Calvi, Benevento) allowed to define four main building periods characterized by different materials and masonry techniques. Intense biological colonization and other damage pathologies affect the building geomaterials. A quantitative evaluation of the conservation state of the monument accounts for a moderate to a very severe damage, with a progressive damage index (DIprog) up to 3.3 value.

Abstract
A stratigraphic analysis applied to the architectural remains of the medieval domus Apicii (Calvi, Benevento) allowed to define four main building periods characterized by different materials and masonry techniques. Intense biological colonization and other damage pathologies affect the building geomaterials. A quantitative evaluation of the conservation state of the monument accounts for a moderate to a very severe damage, with a progressive damage index (DIprog) up to 3.3 value. The results of this multidisciplinary investigation represent an important starting point for an ethically acceptable making-decision process within a modern restoration and conservation of the monument.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
