Crespi d’Adda sito UNESCO. Governare l’evoluzione del sistema edificato tra conservazione e trasformazione, 2015
The theme is the management of transformations in a “living” urban system, such as the one under consideration, which has undoubted historical and documentary value and therefore requires activities to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the built system and its environmental context. At the same time, it is necessary to consider how to redevelop and adapt buildings to the ever-changing needs of their users.

La casa del Fascio di Gallarate, 2014
Reflection on the Minoletti building provides an opportunity to reconsider the theme of urban identity, whose definition, affirmation, or re-evaluation occurs through encounters and the hybridization of knowledge and experiences. Through an exploration of the Casa del Fascio and its context, and following a rigorous critical approach, this volume offers a broad reflection on the history of the building and its architect, which finds methodological and documentary consolidation here.

Preventive and planned maintenance of protected buildings, 2012
The Authors’ Aim is to share at international level, the experiences of planned maintenance and decay prevention of historical buildings, in particular listed ones, gained on a unique cultural heritage such as the Italian one. The issue is certainly not new: it has been known and accepted that prevention and constant maintenance are preferred to occasional and more destructive restoration activities. The principal tool to guarantee the best conservation is the Maintenance Plan.

Prevenzione e manutenzione per i beni culturali edificati, 2010
This book is the result of intensive research. It proposes an operational methodology for carrying out preventive activities aimed at scheduled maintenance. A secondary objective is to promote a change in perspective that aims to limit the use of individual, isolated actions in favour of promoting the idea of maintenance as a process. This is a way of thinking and acting that is profoundly different from the past and present.
