Abstract

The architectural relief of Lecce vaults in the religious buildings of Salento. Hypotheses for a new geometric and morphometric classification Known in the specific literature as Lecce vaults, they are part of the category of stellar vaults because of the configuration of the surfaces forming the soffit. They appear throughout Salento and, sporadically, in other parts of Apulia and Basilicata. The different solutions and geometric shapes taken on the plane and space in religious buildings are the object of this paper. Studies on vaults have impassioned 16thcentury treatise writers from de L’Onne to Vandelvira to Derand, those Italians from Alberti to Guarini to late 19th century Breymann. There are also numerous recent studies, although those on the star vaults of the Salento area are episodic. The requirements of safeguarding and conservation presuppose the recognition and identification of the various geometric/formal solutions that were adopted, so as to prepare the most suitable interventions. The main aim of this paper is to arrange and classify the existing vault solutions, organizing them into families of shapes by recognising their modalities of variation and transformation. Keywords: laserscanning, Puglia, modeling, stone vaults, churches.
