ABSTRACT

The ‘Ornamental Stones of Piemonte Region’ geo-lithological map at 1:250,000 scale aims at reviewing the ornamental stone heritage of Piemonte at the regional scale. The map derives from a thorough revision of the available literature, integrated with some unpublished original data. The map shows the location of the main quarries of ornamental stones of the region, selected on the basis of their historical, cultural and architectonic relevance. A geo-lithological basemap was produced, deriving it from a basic Geological Map of Piemonte, available at the same scale. The large varieties of lithotypes of Piemonte have been resumed, in the new map, into 21 classes, which all the ornamental stones have been assigned to. The Main Map is enriched by some significant examples of using the ornamental stones in historical buildings, and it is supported by a supplementary data base containing essential information about the quarry sites and the quarried material.

摘要

比例为1：250,000的“皮埃蒙特地区的装饰石材”地貌图旨在审查皮埃蒙特地区区域的装饰石材遗产。该地图源自对现有文献的全面修订，并结合了一些未发表的原始数据。该地图显示了该地区主要采石场的位置，这些采石场是根据其历史，文化和建筑相关性选择的。绘制了一个地质岩性底图，该底图是从相同比例的皮埃蒙特基本地质图派生而来的。在新地图中，皮埃蒙特的多种岩性已恢复为21类，所有观赏石均已分配给这些类。在一些重要的例子中丰富了主地图，这些例子在历史建筑中使用了装饰性石材，
