The church of San Giovanni Battista is a church whose facade suffered a failure after an earthquake. A monitoring system has been installed, which aim was to obtain live data about displacements during the facade straightening, monitoring eventual malfunctions during pushing phase.
Villa Pisani is a Venetian Palace near the Brenta River. The dance lounge has a fresco painted by Giambattista Tiepolo. The fresco was equipped with a potentiometer system to monitoring the cracks. The sensors was applied on the fresco after laying more layers of a fully reversible protective by the restorers (if necessary restorers proceeded […]
Some load tests by optical measurement with precision level and displacement transducers were carried out for testing of bridge “Ponte delle Bilance” in Caorle (VE).
In 1908 the construction of the factory of chemical fertilizers superphosphate began. During the years – until the sixties – more buildings were added to older buildings, occupying an area of 36.000 square meters. In 1988 the factory moved its production in a more suitable area. In 1995 the City of Cerea, acquiring a part […]
The “Basilica della Madonna dell’Umiltà” is a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Pistoia, whose construction is supposed between the twelfth and eighth centuries.

The church of “Santa Maria dei Servi” is a religious building of fourteenth-century in via Roma in Padua. In relation to the demands of conservation of the wooden crucifix recently attributed to Donatello, a microclimate monitoring system was installed.
The earthquake of 6 April 2009 in Abruzzo region had severely damaged the theater “San Filippo” in L’Aquila. During the work on the restoration and seismic strengthening of the church a system of monitoring of the major cracks by displacement transducers, combined with a sensor of temperature and relative humidity for correlation with environmental parameters […]
The museum “Gallerie dell’Accademia” in Venice collects the best art collection of Venetian art. From the structural point of view for the control of numerous and considerable cracks, a wireless system with displacement transducers was provided. Instead, for the control of environmental parameters, sensors that detect the temperature, the relative humidity, the level of carbon […]
The church of “SS. Pietro e Paolo” in Marano di Valpolicella (VR), presents a cracks pattern of considerable size. For this reason a system of control by displacement transducers placed astride the main cracks observed was installed. For the knowledge of the structures flat jack tests, scans through covermeter, coring tests in foundation and investigations […]
The church of “Santa Maria Lacrimosa degli Alemanni” in Bologna has a cracks pattern in the vaults. During works for the seismic improvement of the church the situation could get worse. For this reason a system of monitoring was realized by displacement transducers for the control of the major cracks and by strain gauges for […]
