The collapse of the vaults of the refectory of Santa Chiara in ancient Noto (autumn 1555?), immediately after its construction, opens up a range of questions, some of which can be explained by reading the documentation, the terms used in the contracts and examining the rare surviving evidence of 16th-century royal roofing in the Val di Noto. The essay shows how what appears to have been an unsuccessful experiment became the basis for research and new local solutions that over two generations would come to define shared and replicable models.

Abstract
The collapse of the vaults of the refectory of Santa Chiara in ancient Noto (autumn 1555?), immediately after its construction, opens up a range of questions, some of which can be explained by reading the documentation, the terms used in the contracts and examining the rare surviving evidence of 16th-century royal roofing in the Val di Noto. The essay shows how what appears to have been an unsuccessful experiment became the basis for research and new local solutions that over two generations would come to define shared and replicable models.
