Abstract
Since the XIV century the Pio Palace in Carpi (MO, Italy) has been subjected to many additions and rearrangements and, in the last decades, to wide restoration works. Nevertheless the XVII century main portal has not been restored yet, due to its complex and peculiar surface alteration forms in comparison with the other parts of the building, and still suffers a deep decay and degradation by complex chemical-physical processes.The portal materials were investigated through a multidisciplinary approach, which the authors have outlined during diagnostic investigations in several historic buildings. The diagnostic protocol has given fully satisfactory results in view of a future restoration work.
