Project & intervention on the bell tower of Monza cathedral, Italy
After painstaking investigations carried out since 1994, the bell tower of the San Giovanni Battista Cathedral in Monza (Milan) has recently been subject to conservation interventions. Severe deterioration phenomena were detected involving the global stability of the tower but particularly related with the properties and behaviour of the materials. The intervention has therefore been designed on the basis of a complex process of knowledge, carried out by means of in situ and laboratory experiments and tests which led the restorers to decide on minimum repair and strengthening techniques aimed at solving the specific structural deficiencies while showing the maximum respect for the historic identity of the building.
