Tecnologie di rilievo e conservazione del patrimonio architettonico: il caso studio del complesso di Santa Maria della Vita a Napoli fra integrazione di digitalizzazione e applicazione GeoRadar

The case study presented in this contribution is part of the ongoing PRIN research project EX-IN_ AccessiBILITY (Inaccessible religious architecture. A flow of knowledge, ‘expanded’ usability and ‘inclusive’ accessibility). The project focuses on the religious heritage of the city of Naples, with the aim of overcoming accessibility barriers through the implementation of both physical and virtual usability systems. The aim is to define a model, also through digitization and survey, for the physical and virtual valorization of religious heritage, ensuring its accessibility regardless of its state of conservation. This need is particularly relevant in contexts with centuries-old stratifications or with limited accessibility, where it is necessary to examine also the non-visible portions of the built environment and the underground, which contain crucial information. To ensure a conscious and sustainable reuse of the heritage, it is essential to acquire in-depth knowledge, considering not only the visible architectural features, but also the hidden elements. The analysis of the less accessible areas is essential to understand the stratigraphic history, evaluate the state of conservation and identify structural criticalities. In this context, non-destructive detection and diagnostic technologies, such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), are becoming increasingly important to analyze assets without compromising their physical integrity.was to renew the memory and activate interest in the cannamele companies through their knowledge, understood as an indispensable and preparatory action for any conservation and compatible re-use intervention.
