The famous “Cortile del Richini” (main building of the University of Milan) has been subjected to an extensive study for the knowledge and monitoring of the state of conservation of both the surfaces and the materials. A large number of researchers have been engaged in an interdisciplinary work aimed at collecting new data after in situ and laboratory investigations. Updated results have been correlated to those acquired during the last conservation campaign carried out in 1990-93. All data have been managed by the latest release of a web-based GIS software, called SICaR. The close observations of the sculpted surfaces decorating the courtyard revealed a very worrying situation, which includes severe damages such as new crusts, detachments, scaling, fissuring and cracks, as well as a huge deposition of particulate matter. Guidelines for the planning of the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance works will be defined and shared with the management board of the University of Milan.

Abstract
The famous “Cortile del Richini” (main building of the University of Milan) has been subjected to an extensive study for the knowledge and monitoring of the state of conservation of both the surfaces and the materials. A large number of researchers have been engaged in an interdisciplinary work aimed at collecting new data after in situ and laboratory investigations. Updated results have been correlated to those acquired during the last conservation campaign carried out in 1990-93. All data have been managed by the latest release of a web-based GIS software, called SICaR. The close observations of the sculpted surfaces decorating the courtyard revealed a very worrying situation, which includes severe damages such as new crusts, detachments, scaling, fissuring and cracks, as well as a huge deposition of particulate matter. Guidelines for the planning of the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance works will be defined and shared with the management board of the University of Milan.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
