The trulli , limestone dwellings found in the southern region of Puglia, are remarkable examples of drywall (mortarless) construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighboring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of corbelled limestone slabs.
The idea is to implement a monitoring database of several trulli after a program of quick screenings on site and a classification of these structure, by procedures specifically designed, in function of their vulnerability. This classification will be available for the Public Institutions and private subjects for monitoring these fascinating heritage structures and take actions for the conservation of the Trulli that result in worst conditions.
