The Castles project
‘The Castles’ project was completed in late 2025 ( https://castles.unisi.it ) and its innovative, multidisciplinary approach is revealing a revised chronological and typological sequence for the phenomenon of incastellamento in Italy. The results show an earlier appearance of large stone structures and a much later appearance of fortified stone-built villages around seigneurial centres than previously thought
Monument Rockfall Risk Assessment
Stone-built cultural heritage sites face significant threats from weathering and environmental stress, leading to structural damage or even total collapse. Consequently, robust monitoring and conservation strategies are essential. This study introduces the Monument Rockfall Risk Assessment (MRRA), a heuristic prioritization framework designed for the rapid ranking of detachment risks in monumental contexts. The MRRA was tested on the Piazzale Mic…
Mortar Characterization of Historical Masonry Damaged by Riverbank Failure
The research of structural masonry associated with geo-hydrological hazards in Cultural Heritage is a multidisciplinary issue, requiring consideration of several aspects including the characterization of used materials. On 25 May 2016, loss of water from the subterranean pipes and of the aqueduct caused an Arno riverbank failure damaging a 100 m long portion of the historical embankment wall of Lungarno Torrigiani in Florence. The historical maso…
Stone Architectural Decoration in Burji Era
The conservation of monuments in Cairo represents a complex matter, influenced by the cultural context, the intrinsic features of a vast and heterogeneous architectural heritage, and the environmental conditions. Monument vulnerability levels strongly need to be systematized to delineate adequate programs of control, management, and intervention. Despite their leading role in the Egyptian architectural heritage, many monuments experience a critic…
Monitoring and Evaluation of Sandstone Decay Adopting Non-Destructive Techniques
This paper focuses on the characterization approach to evaluate the decay state of Pietra Serena of historic buildings in Florence (Italy). Pietra Serena is a Florentine sandstone largely used in the city especially during the Renaissance; it is a symbol of cultural heritage of Florence and constitutes a large part of the city center, which was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. Unfortunately, many environmental factors negatively aff…
Geomorphology of Mount Ararat/Ağri Daği (Ağri Daği Milli Parki, Eastern Anatolia, Turkey)
This paper presents a geomorphological map of Mount Ararat/Ağri Daği in Eastern Anatolia (Turkey). Mount Ararat/Ağri Daği is a volcanic complex covered by a unique ice cap in the Near East. The massif is the result of multiple volcanic phases, and present day landforms are the result of subsequent and overlapping glacial, periglacial, and slope processes. The geomorphological mapping of Mount Ararat/Ağri Daği was firstly performed on the basis of…
Dynamic response of the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence, Italy, based on ambient vibration test
A multi analytical approach to discriminate the Italian colored marble “Portasanta” from Portasanta “Marmor Chium” (Greece)
