- Abstract:
- The Panchina stone of Volterra, like that of Livorno, has been, since Etruscan and Roman times, a typical building material widely used in centralsouthern Tuscany. Here, Panchina stone varies in colour from reddish white to yellowish to cerulean, and the grain varies from fine to medium-coarse, depending on the extraction area. In this study, part of a broader study on building stones and their properties, we focus on the chemical-mineralogical and petrophysical characterization of the Volterra Panchina stone and its response to thermal stress. After the artificial ageing treatment by heating, various consolidating products were applied to investigate their effectiveness.
