Fabio Sitzia is a researcher specializing in the exploration of mining geo-resources and the application of mineralogical-petrographic techniques in the realms of environmental impact and cultural heritage preservation. His expertise extends to the investigation of archaeological and modern construction materials, mainly building stones. Furthermore, he holds a profound understanding of the classification and production technologies associated with the production of mortars and cement. His studies involve evaluating the current conditions of weathering and biodegradation, as well as developing predictive models for decay dynamics influenced by climate change. Leveraging his skills in both artificial and natural stone materials, he also addresses issues related to building pathology. His approach also involves employing Heritage - BIM, photogrammetry, digital image analysis and visual survey techniques.
