Several structural elements held fundamental importance in forming the architectural language of sacred
space in the Middle Ages. The most important of these,
although little studied in Italy, was the creation of varied
roofing systems (wooden roofs, stone vaults, domes).
The roof decisively conditioned the internal spatiality
and assumed primary importance in conditioning the
external form of the churches because the entire construction was based on the shape that the roof would
have. The aim of this book is to delve deeper into some
case studies of Italian churches from the Middle Ages
to the dawn of the Modern Era with a multidisciplinary
perspective (architecture, art history, archaeology, archaeometry, restoration). This publication forms part of
the activities of the CaMeRoofs (Cataloguing Medieval
Roofs) project, coordinated by the University of Cyprus
and funded by the European Commission under the
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (ID: 101104788).
