This project explores innovative approaches to characterize ancient structures and materials, addressing recently developed imaging techniques that analyze material composition and properties. The aim is to define experimental protocols that deliver a holistic view of the ancient structures, including a bottom-up reconstruction of chemo-mechanical aspects across multiple length-scales ranging from microscale to macroscopic scale. This multidisciplinary research will include recent advances in 3D reconstruction, chemical imaging, motion magnification, and modeling tools for in situ investigation and monitoring. Successful development and implementation of these techniques will provide novel multiscale material characterization strategies, and cost effective field damage assessments of valuable objects of cultural interest including ancient buildings, frescoes and mosaics.
