Integrated geophysical surveys to investigate the Scarsella vault of St. John's Baptistery in Florence

A geophysical study of the Scarsella vault, the high altar of St. John's Baptistery in Florence, was conducted to determine the internal structural features and thus ensure its proper restoration. The Scarsella's crossvault is covered with precious mosaics dating back to the Middle Ages. The vault is 10 m long and 5 m wide, varying in thickness 5-2.5 m.
