Abstract

Historically double framework wooden floors have covered broad/wide rooms or loggias; frequently to reach considerable length the principal beams were made up of more wooden elements assembled together. This tecnology spread over a large area in northern Italy between XV and XVI centuries, and there are a lot of examples expecially in Trento,Verona, Mantova and Ferrara, that were cities linked by the same commercial area of timber. In contrast to Ferrara's composite beams, which have already been fully studied, in Verona we find older cases in XIV century buildings that prove this carpentry was optimized in later medieval times in important government buildings or mansions, and was then used throughout Reinassance.
