The analyses followed a multidisciplinary approach to identify its architectural and structural features, to identify the materials used and the state of damage and interventions made in various periods, to assess the stress state

Behaviour of masonry structures depends not only on mechanical properties of stones and mortar used, but also on texture typology and construction modalities. Often the typology of stone used is strictly related to its availability in the areas near the towns. Properties of stone could be variable according to the provenience area. In this paper a frame of the most diffuse masonry typology of Southern Italy is reported in terms of techniques and materials. Therefore a large experimental characterization about the mechanical properties of different qualities of 'tuff', a typical stone of the Southern Italy, and mortar is developed.
