In a
recent past, a specific analysis about the wall cracks has been carried
out, especially for the facade of the church. This activity revealed
structural displacements occurred in different ways and with not uniform
entity. Generally such problems is due to the heterogeneous
characteristics of the ground or inadequate dimensions of the
foundations.
In
our case, the facade and the eastern wall of the church, built in the
second half of the nineteenth century, are precarious because they are
not placed on foundation structures but on the ground directly. So,
specific actions for consolidation them have to be realized in order to
remove their structural deficiency.
The
ceiling of the church is a plaster layer fastened to a surface made of
winkers weaved together, hanging to wooden beams. Since it is made of
organic materials, conservation treatments must be carried out in order
to avoid damages caused by parasites or other aggressive agents.
Moreover, the adhesion between the plaster and winkers will also be
improved through appropriate methods.
The
current mural paintings will be removed to bring to light the original
nineteenth century decorations that will be restored.
Further actions have to be made as the reinstatement of the floor, the
restoration of the exterior plasters and the roof.
As
soon as the project is finished, we will be able to determine the cost
of all the necessary actions.
