Diverse soluzioni a problemi strutturali tipici della Pieve rustica lombarda del ‘400: confronto e verifica nel tempo degli interventi eseguiti in Santa Maria Assunta a Esine (BS) e Santa Maria Assunta a Nembro (BG)

The comparison between two churches similar in structure and period of construction leads to compare also the different solutions attempted to solve similar structural problems. Santa Maria Assunta of Esine (BS) and Santa Maria of Nembro (BG) were constructed at tbe end of the XV century, correspond to the same type of building, the "pieve rustica", and have similar structural problems. Interventions supported by documents took place in the same periods: the ’60s and the ’90s of this century, and it is possible to compare them. The problem in studying past restoration interventions consists generally in the poor documentation left by planners executors, but we hope that documentation of these years restorations will be a good basis for future interventions, because the only way to examine the suceess of past interventions and plan for the present is to know exactly how the conditions of the structure have evolved before, during and after the different interventions. So we hope there will and more and more documentation of restorations in the future
