Abstract

Starting from an integrated architectural survey, which uses synergistically multiple integrated digital technologies, the study proposes a reading of the church of S. Pietro a Coppito in the city center of L’Aquila. The image offered by the church nowadays is the result of a heavy restoration of the 20th century, that uncritically destroyed the pre-existing Baroque church, in an attempt to rediscover the medieval one largely destroyed by earthquakes and transformations in historical continuity. For this purpose, it was first necessary to determine which spatial elements were part of the authentic building and which were added in the restoration. In this sense, were fundamental the survey carried out and the subsequent analyses conducted on it, in particular the metrological analysis, which opens up new hypotheses on the chronology and the process of transformation of the ancient building.
