The conceived methodology can be equally useful for the assessment of the health status of other
historic buildings, allowing more detailed knowledge for purposes relating to conservation and
restoration activities. In addition, the short time required for the data acquisition, the high potential of
analysis and the significant results obtained for the presented case study suggest the adoption of this
survey methodology in a protocol for the preservation of the architectural and cultural heritage against
calamities. Furthermore, the application of this strategy could allow one to observe the progression of
decay over time, confirming the possibility of monitoring the effects on ancient buildings due both to
the permanent loads and accidental events, like earthquakes. Finally, the recorded data can characterize
the screening phase to recognize those cases where further investigations, based on more
time-consuming and expensive techniques, should be recommended.
