The recovery project envisages, first of all, the opening of the original arches, removing
non-contemporary masonry, so as to allow natural light to be used for the new needs of
the customer. On the other hand, it will be necessary to build a nested structure inside
the ancient building as a support for new floors without overloading external walls, which
are unable to support the new design loads.
With these changes, the original trussed roof will remain intact and it will also be held up
by the new nested structure.
In the aim of designers is that this new structure must hold up boundary elements, but on
the other side must have proper foundations which are not in conflict with existing ones.
In preparation for each design operation, it is necessary to obtain information about the
types of building structures.
In order to determine the type which forms the foundations some geognostic inspections
have been conducted.
Existing foundations are characterized by plan sets ranging from -0.80 to -1.80 m and
foundational enlargements ranging from 5 cm to 25 cm (figg. 43 & 44)
