Una proposta di 'cartella clinica' per la conoscenza e la conservazione programmata del patrimonio culturale

The relevant importance of documentation in Conservation has been stated in the fundamentals of the discipline, but presently it is realised in a non homogeneous and incoherent way. Moreover building information needs is growing over the time being because they represent an estate to be organised and stored. A '‘checking file’' software based on GIS technology has been proposed in order to constitute a database for the programme of conservation and maintenance of an historic building; the latter being an experienced application on the Basilica Santa Maria di Collemaggio in L'’Aquila which has been characterised by a number of scarcely planned interventions. A preliminary study concerning the historical and constructive events has been provided coupled with the description of the restoration interventions carried out during the last two hundreds years. Diagnostic analysis in order to integrate both historical and material knowledge have been included into the database.
