Church of San Martino, will be the University of Parma to say the final word

by admin

The parish church of Valle di Cadore is in danger of collapsing, the investigation aims to know at what depth under the layer of chalk there is rock to which the foundations can be anchored

VALLE. How many meters deep is the rock inside the chalk cliff that supports the church of San Martino, in Valle? Here is the question to be answered by the geologist Roberto Francese, from the University of Parma, who will be commissioned by the Municipality of Valle to investigate the resistance of the mountain on which the ancient church stands, but not far from the village of Costa .

First reconnaissance

Yesterday the first reconnaissance. French was commissioned by the Belluno engineer Siro Andrich, as well as by the mayor Marianna Hofer. The professor did not pronounce. He admitted that he had an idea from the photos, but that the site, considered on site, presents a complexity to be investigated. It is evident that if beyond the “Berlin” that supports the structure there is the rock, or if this is at an acceptable depth, the church, at the limit, can still be saved. But if the rocky support, on which to plant the concrete poles, is hundreds of meters away, the construction site becomes impossible. Francese collaborates with the Ogs of Trieste, the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics, so he is an authority in the field. On the foundations of the church will be applied the instruments that will allow a seismic tomographic survey and an electric tomography, on the basis of which it will be possible to understand whether that soil is resistant or not. The task will be entrusted, in fact, by the Administration, in collaboration with the Veneto Region. The Superintendence is in place to fix the seal of the cult building and is monitoring any movement of the walls. The church, as we know, is closed to worship. Mayor Hoffer has relations almost daily with the competent diocesan offices and with the bishop Renato Marangoni.

Mayor Hofer

“We take every step together”, says the mayor Hofer, “because the common goal is to reopen our church for worship, as long as the technical conditions allow it.” The Province, on the other hand, is monitoring the landslide that could involve the nearby village of Costa. “For the moment there has been no need to sign any eviction orders. I hope it won’t be there in the future either. But it is clear “, concludes the mayor,” that all the surveys are carried out by mutual agreement and brought to a shared synthesis. Here we don’t really work in watertight compartments ».

The Province, for its part, will proceed with three deep geognostic surveys. The technicians will install some instruments and a data acquisition unit. From the analysis of those data – explains the provincial councilor delegated to soil defense, Massimo Bortoluzzi, “we will be able to have a clearer picture of the situation. Only in this way will it be possible to hypothesize any really useful interventions ». –
