Abstract
The characteristics and the causes of decay of three types of stones taken from Ca' Granda in Milan have been examined before undertaking a study of their conservation. Chemical, mineralogical, petrographical, physical, and structural analyses have been performed on samples taken from the monument and from the quarry. The characteristics of the stones have been compared and then correlated with their state of conservation. The alteration products (crusts, efflorescences) have also been analyzed and measurements have been taken of the environmental temperature and relative humidity, the surface temperature of the monument and the air and rain pollution. On the basis of the obtained results some indications have been given on monument conservation. See also related entry in Ceramics and Glass section under Peruzzi, R.
