An Intervention and Marketing Proposal for Monastery of San Benedetto Po in Polirone, Italy

The contribution illustrates intervention and proposals for the San Benedetto in Polirone Monastery in San Benedetto Po, Italy. The primary aim of this project is to structure a proposal for the protection and enhancement of the Monastery and the town of San Benedetto Po starting from the state of the art of the Monastery's current condition.
The project aims to suggest cultural valorization, restoration, structural and marketing interventions for local and global visitors. The methodology is the multi - layer cultural analysis, in which several intervention methods are proposed to continue past efforts as well as producing a parametric historic building information model (HBIM) to serve as a global archive. Furthermore, seismic and microclimate monitoring using sensors is suggested to aid the longevity of the historic building, reduce risks, and proactively prepare for future disasters. These enhancement suggestions could provide opportunities for the development of the promotion of local activities, the increase of site knowledge, and the development of tourism systems.
