I soffitti lignei dipinti e le strutture di copertura nell'architettura religiosa della Sicilia barocca. Conoscenza e diagnosi per il progetto di restauro

Abstract

Wooden ceilings characterize many baroque churches in Sicily and they have a particular meaning in the spatial conception of the architecture because of the false dome prospective painted on. For such a reason they are able to dominate the baroque architectural spatiality being a planar surface. Often forgotten and difficult to reach, the wooden painted ceilings represent an meaningful testimony of history and art but they are know asking for a conservation and maintenance attitude to start. The essay explain a method to design a conservation project without scaffolding and presents the software processing phases to develop in order to point out the degradation conditions through thermography and other diagnostic tools.
