La conoscenza dei materiali e delle strutture per un progetto di restauro nel Parco Archeologico di Gabii

The Soprintendenza Archeologica of Rome with the CNR and the ENEA are carrying out studies and analyses about the Archaeological Park of Gabii (Rome) which is to be restored during the year. The Santuario di Giunone Gabina and the circular mausoleum are made of pietra gabina (volcanic tuff) and travertine (continental limestone). The deterioration involves erosion of the stone surfaces and lichen incrustations.
