Materials tell the arena’s aging story.
🪨 Limestone Properties
- Porosity: Moderate — admits breathability, resists rapid spalling.
- Grain: Fine to medium, good for ashlar dressing.
- Color: Warm hues — Verona’s signature.
| Test | Indicative value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 2.6–2.7 g/cm³ | Stable for load |
| Water absorption | 3–7% | Weathering-sensitive |
| UCS (dry) | 30–80 MPa | Varies by quarry |
🥣 Lime Mortar
- Breathable: Allows moisture exchange.
- Plasticity: Accommodates minute movements.
- Compatibility: Avoids hard/soft mismatches.
Conservation prefers lime-based mortars to prevent moisture trapping and salt crystallization.
[^care]: Modern conservation avoids cement-rich mortars that trap moisture.
