Abstract

An adequate approach to study the historic masonry buildings must begin with the knowledge and understanding of its structural logic with all its specific peculiarities and vulnerable points, given first by its historic constructive evolution and transformations and then to external causes. Also the global survey of the damage can highlight part of those transformations together with the localization of the most damaged areas. Monitoring selected cracks over time can be very useful to assess the evolution of the damage, avoiding collapses, and to understand the damage causes, useful to design the conservation plan. The accurate intervention of repair and strengthening of the parish church of San Bassiano in Pizzighettone, Cremona, Italy is here presented, where the crack monitoring was carried out to evaluate the partial structural intervention plan, to organize the next intervention phase, anticipating the urgent ones and delaying others, in order to leave open the church to the faithful.
