Tra il 1818 e il 1819 una serie di centri siciliani concentrati nell'area montuosa delle Madonie, furono colpiti a più riprese da una sequenza di scosse sismiche che provocarono numerosi danni all’edificato storico, sia diffuso che di pregio. Il contributo intende indagare i danni e le conseguenti ricostruzioni, con particolare riferimento alle tipologie edilizie e alle tecniche costruttive adottate prima e dopo il sisma. L'azione di verifica e monitoraggio delle condizioni delle fabbriche e i conseguenti interventi di consolidamento e riparazione sono efficacemente documentati in testi a stampa e nei report coevi al sisma e –soprattutto- da una copiosa documentazione archivistica. Si identificheranno le tecniche costruttive tradizionali nella zona delle Madonie, evidenziandone la loro diffusione nei centri analizzati, con particolare attenzione all'analisi degli accorgimenti con i quali dopo il sisma si configurarono ricostruzioni volte a definire pratiche e regole dell’arte specificatamente antisismiche. Lo studio intende fornire uno strumento di conoscenze dei caratteri costruttivi di questa area territoriale omogenea, che possa fornire alle amministrazioni comunali e ai tecnici parametri e linee guida per i necessari interventi di recupero, messa in sicurezza e mitigazione della vulnerabilità sismica del patrimonio costruttivo storico.

Abstract

Between the years 1818 and 1819 a lot of Sicilian centres concentrated in the mountainous Madonie area were damaged several times by earthquakes that caused widespread collapses to the monumental and basic architectures. We would investigate the damages and also the reconstruction interventions, particularly referring to building typologies and to that construction techniques adopted in this area. The verification and monitoring of the conditions of buildings, associated to the consequent consolidations and repairs are effectively documented by the writers of essays and reports coeval to the earthquake and above all by archival documents. We would identify the traditional building techniques in the Madonie area, underlying their originality and diffusion in the analyzed centres; with a particular attention to the anti-seismic reconstruction solutions adopted following the earthquake, often based on the art-rules. The study intends to provide a knowledge of construction characters of this homogeneous geographical area, which may provide the municipalities and the technicians of parameters and guidelines for the necessary restoration works, as well as safety measures for the mitigation of seismic vulnerability of building heritage.
