Técnicas constructivas altomedievales en la ciudad de Pisa y en la Toscana nordoccidental

Abstract

The present work analyses the building techniques used in the city of Pisa in the Early Middle Ages. Four ecclesiastical constructions are precisely studied (San Piero a Grado, San Zeno, Santa Cristina, San Matteo), leading to the understanding of the transformations that have taken place in the organizational structure of the architectural production. It is also paid specific attention to the constructive materials, to the diachronic evolution of the building techniques in the territory of Pisa and to the zeal that has supposed the realization of the Early Middle Ages religious architecture through the analysis of the volumetric dimensions of these constructions. Lastly, a social reading of the architectural production from the 5th to the 10th centuries is carried out.
