The historical centres of Sambiase and Nicastro, villages which belong to the municipality of Lamezia Terme, in the Tyrrhenian side of Catanzaro province, are an example of urban centres in which there are buildings of 4-5 floors completely or partially realized in earth bricks (adobe) connected with a mortar made of clay and lime. In the present study the mineralogical, physical and mechanical characterization of adobe samples coming from seven different buildings in a poor state of conservation has been carried out together with an analysis of the "Local Earth" for comparison.
In Calabria (Italy) original examples of earth buildings called "casedde" are present distinguished from the houses realized in stone or bricks that are indicated with the term "casini" or "turd".
