Abstract

Abstract. This study is part of a much wider project in which professors and researchers from the University of Naples Federico II and the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli are collaborating in different subject areas. The object of study is the ancient Sanctuary of Montevergine characterized by a long history of transformations and stratifications. Driven by the desire to fill a singular gap, linked to the lack of a systematic and comprehensive study of a complex whose first settlement dates back to the early 12th century, various studies have been started relating to the historical, artistic and architectural aspects.Various surveying techniques and methods had to be used due to its architectural, compositional and settlement characteristics. Integrated 3D surveying technologies were used for both the cognitive studies of the entire complex as well as for investigating and detecting the elements at different scales, ranging from the architectural to the detailed ones.

Summary

Introduction

The consolidated experience acquired, along with the various experiments related to studies and surveys on complex architectures, led the research group to start cognitive processes on the imposing monument. The abbey stands at about two hundred metres from the summit, behind a rocky cliff from which it dominates the valley, while overlooking the small town of Mercogliano. This context is made up of connections of volumes, transformations and stratifications in which the relationship with the context that houses it can only but significantly influence its configuration. Other buildings describe and surround the churchyard, characterized by the panoramic terrace, along with the high and steep 17th century staircase that leads to the ancient basilica
