This book is the first of a series of volumes on Built Heritage and
Geotechnics, intended to reach a wide audience: professionals and
academics in the fields of civil engineering, architecture,
restoration and cultural heritage management, and even the wider
public. The present volume provides essential information on the
history of the construction of the Ghirlandina Tower in Modena, the
techniques involved and the restoration works, and proves how the
interaction with the supporting soil may explain the reasons behind
the corrections that masons implemented during construction, the
pattern of settlements suffered by the tower and the Cathedral and
their mutual interaction. In addition to the above, there is one
particular aspect that should capture the interest of a wide
readership: in 1997 the Cathedral and the Ghirlandina Tower were
included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and it was recognized
that the creation process shared by Lanfranco and Wiligelmo is a
masterpiece of human creativity, in which a new dialectical
relationship between architecture and sculpture was created in
Romanesque art. The Modena complex bears exceptional witness to the
cultural traditions of the 12th century in northern Italy's urban
society, its organization, religious character, beliefs, and values
all being reflected in the history of the buildings.
