The architrave a tasselli is a peculiar design shape of the traditional stone lintels, which are widespread in Abruzzo, Italy: stone lintels are not usually monolithic elements, being formed by three pieces, the block spanning the opening and the tasselli, two small rectangular pieces. In the current paper, by means of an elementary Wrinkler-type beam model, it has been attempted to capture the behaviour of stone lintels, chasing the mechanical reasons supporting this traditional construction technique.
