The monumental structure of San Fruttuoso Abbey at Camogli comprises the church, aligned transversally across the end of a narrow valley, the small two-level cloisters between the church and the Abbey with an open area in the centre flanked by the monks cemetery to the east, the tombs of the Doria family to the west and the Gothic Abbey facing towards the sea. At the end of the 1980s, a complex series of experimental surveys on the most important structures of the Abbey complex was carried out in order to assess its static condition and define the parameters needed to devise appropriate structural consolidation work. The surveys were carried out alongside the various stages in restoration work and progressively involved the Cloisters, the tombs of the Doria family, the Gothic Abbey, the Church and its Nolare Tower and the Doria Tower. |
