Guiccioli Palace is a building in the Historic Centre of Ravenna.

This paper is focused on some surveying and modelling activities to the restoration of facades, with particular reference to the cornice of the building’s main facade where several architectural decorations of great interest are present, including traces of Fleur-de-lis, alternated to lozenges and heraldic symbols of the Osio family.

Abstract

Guiccioli Palace is a building in the Historic Centre of Ravenna. From the XVII century onwards, Guiccioli palaces hosted three important families - Osio, Guiccioli and Rasponi- as well as famous people like Luigi Carlo Farini and Lord Byron. The palace was closely related to some of Ravenna historical events, but now it is in very poor conservation status For those reasons a restoration project was promoted by the owner - Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Ravenna – in order to transform it into a museum. Several surveys have been carried out on some interiors and on decorative elements of the façade in Via Cavour at the beginning of the restoration works. The main purposes of these surveys were to prepare accurate documentation for future interventions and to use innovative methodologies for interpretation and visualization of the building based on the use of 3D models developed by the research group. Surveying activities were carried out by CT Lab - Laboratorio Città e Territorio of Scuola Superiore di Studi sulla Città e il Territorio dell’Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, under the scientific coordination of Prof. Luca Cipriani, in collaboration with Società Cooperativa Ediltecnica Global Service (EGS) which had already performed the diagnostic phase and is now carrying out restoration works. This paper is focused on some surveying and modelling activities to the restoration of facades, with particular reference to the cornice of the building’s main facade where several architectural decorations of great interest are present, including traces of Fleur-de-lis, alternated to lozenges and heraldic symbols of the Osio family.
