San Giovanni — façade, masonry and pointing
Wall cleaning, brick façade reconstruction, full pointing — including marble pointing
Works on historic masonry: cleaning, brick façade reconstruction and full pointing, with particular attention to marble element pointing.
Context
Site on historic masonry fabric in San Giovanni. Works covered brick surfaces and stone elements, through cleaning, reconstruction and joint finishing phases.
Challenges
Degraded surfaces, need to rebuild brick bond and to execute differentiated pointing — including marble pointing, distinct from ordinary masonry pointing.
Objectives
Restore surface continuity and protection, rebuild façade portions and deliver coherent pointing, enhancing marble elements.

Façade and masonry treated with cleaning, reconstruction and full pointing; marble pointing documented as a distinct specialised trade.
