A multifrequency and multisensor approach for the study and the restoration of monuments: the case of the Cathedral of Matera

N. Masini, R. Persico, A. Guida, and A. Pagliuca

Abstract. In this paper we propose an integrated approach to diagnostic prospecting applied to the cathedral of Matera, in Southern Italy. In particular, we have performed both an ultrasonic tomography and a high frequency GPR prospecting on some pillars of the Church to investigate about possible structural yielding and a GPR prospecting at lower frequencies on the floor, where also a linear inversion algorithm has been applied to the data.
