Summary: Made of brickwork masonry, star-shaped and planterian vaults constitute the more common covering system in buildings and noble houses of Turin between the end of the Seventeenth Century and the end of the Eighteenth Century.These are vaults whose intrados image reveals a geometric complexity of shapes – generated by the composition of different surfaces – that are aimed to get movement and lightness effects, even in case of small spaces. The conformations variety that characterises these vaults offers an interesting experimentation field for making hypotheses on the geometry that rules the realized shapes and verifiable through intrados survey operations, the representation of which is usefully allowed by digital modeling tools.
