Abstract

After a brief description of the main geometric characteristics and the relevant constructive aspects ideated by Brunelleschi to build the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore the paper sketches the actual cracking pattern together with recent results concerning the static behavior of the Dome. The F.E. model built to assess the Dome’s structural behavior is described, and the identification procedure (based on the results of previous in-situ experimental investigation) is illustrated. The paper offers a contribution in the assessment of the safety and vulnerability of one of the most emblematic masonry domes all over the world
