Abstract

The topic discussed here is the study of an ancient aristocratic Sedile of the 14th century, the Sedile Dominova in Sorrento, and the elements that subsequently joined the architectural organism, such as the precious dome made by coloured roof tiles and perspective frescoed paintings on the inside. Through the use of integrated techniques for architectural survey, it was possible to perform two-dimensional and three-dimensional morphological analysis on the current state of the artefact, emphasizing the peculiarities, anomalies and structural beddings both in elevation and plan [1].
