Abstract

The constructed body of the church of Monteluce is outside characterised by a limestone facade, that showing a geometric pattern of horizontal and vertical white stripes, delimiting square fields in which red stone elements are inserted. The North side, with its dense sequence of massive buttresses, and the apse are characterized by rows of sandstone ashlars. On the other side of the church leans what remains both of the monastery of the Clarisse and the new hospital, that was under construction from 1906 and now largely demolished. Inside the church we stand in front of completely different features, due to the works carried out from the fifteenth to the sixteenth century, which made it difficult to understand the relationship between medieval structures and the added ones. Only in the garret can we see, in part, the coexistence between the preexisting tympanum arches, once visible from the church, and the added brick vaults. The study we are presenting, started from the garret and was then extended to the whole church. It was based on accurate survey campaign and investigations that provided plans and sections, information on materials and construction systems, as well as subsequent thematic drawing. The interpretation of the mass of information collected revealed much more complex constructive phases than anyone had ever imagined. The medieval church was covered by tympanum arches of different characteristics; those in the area of the apse leaned on corbels, while the three situated towards the façade were supported by rectangular pillars, which outlined chapels on each side.
