L’INTERVENTO DI CONSERVAZIONE E CONSOLIDAMENTO DEI SOLAI LIGNEI DELL’EX CHIESA DELLA TRASFIGURAZIONE A CANTÙ (CO)

The wooden-beam floors of the sixteenth century ex Church of St Ambrogio in Cantù (CO), located in small buildings inside the main one, have been the object of a strongly opposed conservation, because they were not considered suitable for the future museum use. After having identified the main points and the pathologies of degradation and after having worked on the materials in place, loading tests were performed that determined the static compatibility with the planned museum use. As a warranty for the static behavior of the floors two innovative consolidation systems have been designed and implemented, consisting in wing reinforcements made in plexiglass.
