Abstract
The present study discusses the experimental physicochemical results obtained from the historical vaulted ceilings of an ancient church located in central Italy. Infrared thermography (IRT) in the active configuration was used to map subsurface defects caused by a seismic event and
to discover buried structures, while the visible and near-infrared (VIS-NIR) fibre-optics diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (FORS) technique was applied to identify the pigments of wall paintings decorating the vault. Historical photographs are useful to readers in order to clarify the state
of conservation before and after the earthquake that took place in 2009. The combination of the experimental results can be useful in restoration processes.
