La chiesa di S. Nicolò di Capodimonte (Camogli - Genova): un approccio multidisciplinare al problema del restauro di un edificio restaurato

The S. Nicolò church of Capodimonte (Genoa, Italy) is the clearest testimony of an old religious settling on the west coast of Portofino’s mountain, coming from the medieval age. Between 2005 and 2007 this building has been studied by an interdisciplinary working group involved in a restoration project that is going to start in the next year. Historic studies (both for the church and for environment), archaeological analysis of walls, analysis of materials, studies of structures performed by some engineers, and geological analysis of terrain has been developed in a full tune of the whole working group. These works had been possible thanks to some non common resources of time and money made available by a private sponsor. This work highlighted some important old restoration works carried out between the end of XIXth and the first years of XXth century, unknown before the analysis and the importance of a interdisciplinary working group.
