Popis: Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes a large-scale survey that was carried out to detect and quantify the deterioration on the biocalcarenite surfaces of the “Tempio della Concordia” in Agrigento together with the other remains in the valley of the Temples. As part of this survey, a series of laboratory tests were carried out with the aim of choosing an adequate material for repairing the missing sections and fixing fallen parts or parts that are flaking away with an adhesive. A large number of different tests were carried out, ranging from small trials to larger operations, to draw comparative analysis. The results have been compared in terms of compatibility with the supporting surface, and also in terms of durability and hardness. The chapter provides tables to illustrate the comparative results of experimentation tests. The adhesive systems have been subdivided into adequate and inadequate for restoration work on the biocalcarenite of the “Tempio della Concordia”.
