The conservation intervention of built heritage is appropriate if it puts particular attention at the impact of the modern systems to this heritage. The research methodology is based on a fundamental aspect of the project of recovery and/or restoration which is that cognitive, foreseeing investigation on site and laboratory, the realization and validation of the intervention, through new tests and a periodical monitoring. The model proposed has been applied to a case study (the “Sassi di Matera” – UNESCO heritage), emblematic site with a strong bind between architecture and natural environment. Technological tests were executed to determine the physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics of the materials used in the ancient “Rioni Sassi” to evaluate the compatibility with new materials. This surveys plan presents as a further knowledge instrument and as a mean to programme any recovery intervention in the respect of the original character, without compromising the requisites of durability and safety.

Abstract
The conservation intervention of built heritage is appropriate if it puts particular attention at the impact of the modern systems to this heritage. The research methodology is based on a fundamental aspect of the project of recovery and/or restoration which is that cognitive, foreseeing investigation on site and laboratory, the realization and validation of the intervention, through new tests and a periodical monitoring. The model proposed has been applied to a case study (the “Sassi di Matera” – UNESCO heritage), emblematic site with a strong bind between architecture and natural environment. Technological tests were executed to determine the physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics of the materials used in the ancient “Rioni Sassi” to evaluate the compatibility with new materials. This surveys plan presents as a further knowledge instrument and as a mean to programme any recovery intervention in the respect of the original character, without compromising the requisites of durability and safety.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
