Abstract
Gubbio, as many Italian historical centers, can be considered as an open-air and living museum affected by a degradation process due to natural aging, human pressure, environmental and climatic changes. Accordingly, it was considered as a valuable test site, in the frame of the H2020 HERACLES project, to verify the effectiveness of novel approaches and eco-solutions for a preservation of cultural heritage assets. In this frame, being an effective sensing tool able to perform non-invasive subsurface analysis, GPR was exploited to investigate two important areas of Gubbio. Here, we present the main results of the two GPR surveys, which have allowed an improvement of knowledge about structural features and soil stratigraphy.
