The results of the investigations on building materials and techniques of Casa Major Pessoa, a typical Art Nouveau construction in Aveiro (Portugal), and two coeval Art Nouveau buildings in Bologna (Italy) are presented as a methodological contribution to the restoration of these kinds of buildings. This is the first step to ascertain the existence of a common thread between local materials/technologies and architecture in European countries in the same age. A holistic approach was followed: materials were investigated along with architectural, structural and technological features, in order to achieve a first insight of the Art Nouveau architecture in Europe for its consistent restoration without historical memory loss.

Abstract
The results of the investigations on building materials and techniques of Casa Major Pessoa, a typical Art Nouveau construction in Aveiro (Portugal), and two coeval Art Nouveau buildings in Bologna (Italy) are presented as a methodological contribution to the restoration of these kinds of buildings. This is the first step to ascertain the existence of a common thread between local materials/technologies and architecture in European countries in the same age. A holistic approach was followed: materials were investigated along with architectural, structural and technological features, in order to achieve a first insight of the Art Nouveau architecture in Europe for its consistent restoration without historical memory loss.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
