TRADITION IN COSTRUCTION

1Carbone Costruzioni s.a.s. was established in 1995, a succesful combination of Carmine Carbone’s forty years of experience in construction and his son’s Francesco commitment and innovation-driven mindset.The newly founded company, based in Monza, began developing projects all over Lombardia and particularly in the Monza and Brianza area.Initially working to commission, Carbone Costruzioni s.a.s. gradually expanded its activities and ultimately became a development company, taking charge of the design process, construction and sales.The company’s staff grew in the following years gaining the strength and reliability needed to compete and flourish in the construction and real estate market.

1980 1995

The Edilizia Generale Group was established in order to gather and consolidate around the main core several holding companies that were founded after Carbone Costruzioni s.a.s. to satisfy the working and sales needs of the business.The purpose is to present the customers with a single, strong corporate identity, ensuring every project is worked on with the utmost competence and attention to detail.Customer satisfaction is a core value, and is achieved by constantly employing top quality materials and labour to meet the most demanding quality standards.The company’s strength lies within the relationships established throughout the years with both its employees and suppliers, creating a team of highly committed, qualified and passionate people who constantly focus on perfectioning their work and improving the business.

As a result, continuous research is undertaken to select new materials and technologies that satisfy the customers’ requirements and are environmentally friendly.The construction of several Energy Efficicency Class A buildings has proven Edilizia Generale Group to be one of the most technologically advanced companies on the market, and shows the company’s will to continue its research for better functional, aesthetic and technological solutions.

The company is specialized in the complete construction/restoration process through the work of its employees, professional cooperators, suppliers and subcontractors and is certified as ISO 9001:2008 compliant according to SOA OG1.

Column of Hera Lacinia,Crotone

page 86

Historical Context (tratto dalla presentazione “Hera Lacinia - Restauro attuale” della Soprintendenza Archeologica della Calabria)

Throughout history, the Temple of Hera -one among the great sanctuaries of the Magna Grecia- has been consistently looted, damaged and transformed to the point that little of its original sacredness, function and aspect survived to this day.One of the first examples recorded in history of such careless manipulations is dated back to 173 b.C., when censor O. Fulvius Flaccus ordered part of the marble roof to be dismantled and reassembled in Rome to embellish the temple of Fortuna Equestris in Rome (LIVIO XLIII,3). Charged by the Roman Senate with sacrilege, censor Flaccus was forced to return the looted artifacts to the temple, but none of the local artisans had either the skill or knowledge to correctly reassemble them, so the parts were hastily recomposed using lesser quality materials. (D.Mertens, Atti conv. Taranto 1983/’84/’85). The beginning of its decadence can probably be traced back to that set of circumstances.Its columns were still standing (a total of around 48, according to D.Mertens op. c.) when Bishop Lucifero (1510-1521) further pillaged the temple to gather construction materials for the episcope and the Cathedral of Crotone.After 1543, only two columns survived, one of which tumbled, most likely after the earthquake of 1638 [ai tempi di Nola?]The temple was damaged again throughout the XVIII Century, as reported in 1766 by a foreign scholar that happened to witness the miserable conditions of the temple remains and urged a local engineer to “save what is left of the temple and colonnade from complete destruction”.After the accurate survey conducted by american archeologists (J.I. Clarke and A.Emerson) on the site of the archeological dig -which was promptly closed down by local authorities- the first detailed map of the site was to be completed only in 1894 by R. Koldewey and Puchstein, who only examined the accessible areas of the site. The column and base were surveyed by G. Abatino in 1911, and his resulting measurements seem to be fairly accurate, coupled with a good photograph taken on site from the south-east.In 1909, concerned by the stability of the column, Abatino probed the soil directly to the east of the column and proceeded to devise a consolidation plan -using concrete- that was approved by a technical committee and greatly opposed by superintendent Paolo Orsi who claimed Abatino’s intervention had completely cancelled what was left of the pronaos.In 1910 the Civil Engineering Corps built a supporting wall of screed cement and stones that ran along the side and front of the area facing the pronaos.After several surveys and changes (see ing. Loiacono’s 1929 proposal to dismantle the column), in 1953-55, with the supervision of A. De Franciscis, the construction of the red terrace east of the site and several consolidation works on the base are carried out. Cavities in the column and base surfaces are filled with “600 grit” concrete and covered with a protective layer of Silicone C13.Study and restoration resumed after several years with a complete and accurate analysis of the column and its inherent structural weaknesses found in Prof. Dieter Martens Horn’s report of 1995. His report was followed in 1996 by an in-depth structural analysis and seismic resistance evaluation conducted by Prof. Antonino Giuffrè.

Fountain north east of grid reference Q13

The preliminary phase of the restoration process required several stratigraphic studies and microscope examinations in order to identify previous restorations, determine the original pigments and plaster composition, in order to perfectly replicate them.Analysis showed that plaster mouldings had recently undergone restoration: a few portions of plaster had been restored and the whole surface was covered with a white finish layer. Tempera was most likely chosen to complete the work, employing a faux-travertine effect for mouldings and a pale blue color for the backdrop panels. The color appeared to be fragile and had suffered chromatic alterations, due to incomplete bonding of the pigment to the underneath surface.
