Materiali e tecniche costruttive del Mugello tra Basso Medioevo e prima Età Moderna

Mugello is a medium-high seismic risk area situated on the Italian Apennine mountain range, between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. The territory is characterized by a large presence of long duration settlements characterized by well-preserved historic buildings, most of which are religious' architectonical complexes. An area of Mugello, between 2010 and 2014, was characterized by the project "Archaeology of Buildings and seismic risk in Mugello", a research focused on testing the potential information of the process of archaeological analysis of buildings as a form of knowledge, prevention and protection of medieval seismic risk settlements. Among the results that have emerged from the archaeoseismological investigation have played a central role the considerations pertaining to the supplying and use of building materials for the construction and modification of architectural structures, in a period between the late Middle Ages and the Modern Age. © 2016 CSIC.
