How can a historic building be made safer without compromising its identity?
Engineers Alberto Calza and Mattia Ruini describe the seismic upgrading of the historic church in Castellarano, in the province of Reggio Emilia. Spanning eighteen months from design through to construction supervision, the project focused on the building’s most complex elements, particularly the roofs and bell tower.
The video explores the history of the church, the use of laser scanning for the digital survey and the structural solutions developed for the project. Alongside the technical complexity, close collaboration between all the professionals involved — built on trust and continuous dialogue — proved essential to the successful delivery of the works.
