ABSTRACT
The essay evaluates the results of the conservation intervention on a renaissance plant, stratified on pre-existing medieval layers: the Monte di Scauri tower. It highlights in particular the methods adopted, envisaged during the project stage, with the aim of verifying their sustainability and compatibility both with the ancient plant and the coastal landscape where it is located.
It shows the effectiveness of having chosen a conservation intervention with traditional techniques in association with the use of modern materials, with particular attention to their sustainability and compatibility, especially regarding their reaction with the original mortars and their interaction with the climatic conditions of the surrounding coastal landscape, hostile at times to abandoned plants.
It verifies, moreover, the effectiveness of the scheduled maintenance indications of the project. It collects and analyses the data, examines the reactions to the choices made, identifying their virtues and vices and evaluating the convenience of preferring more compatible options to non-sustainable solutions. It may therefore be convenient to update the maintenance program and revise its economic framework, with the resulting benefit of a sustainable, minor intervention.
It will hence be feasible to set up a carefully analytical database that would define the general guidelines, open to revisions and implementations, by combining a conservation project and a maintenance schedule.
