“…The speed of some reactions involved in the degradation of monuments might be increased by the presence of numerous compounds with the action of catalysts, such as heavy metals and carbonaceous particles related to pollution, especially atmospheric pollution [14][15][16]. The latter were probably the cause of the acceleration of the process of formation and detachment of black crusts on the surface of the stones of the site analyzed [17,18].…”

Santa Maria in Vado is a monument in the rich artistic heritage of the city of Ferrara (north of Italy). In this paper we want to investigate the state of conservation of tombstones, cloister and the entrance to the basilica, in order to keep them in the best possible state for the future generations. From the chemical characterization, the state of conservation was determined focusing on the biodeteriogenic and non-biodeteriogenic factors, which determine a series of unwanted changes in the physical, mechanical and above all aesthetic properties of the material, often closely connected with the environment and conservation conditions. On the macroscopic observation, the state of conservation of the tombstones appeared to be very deteriorated through aesthetic and structural damage. In detail, the stereo microscope observation of samples collected from the tombstones show the presence of efflorescence probably caused by the abundant of water that bring the salts present inside the rock into solution. Relating the columns, μ-XRF analysis confirm the carbonate composition of samples and presence of iron and sulfur. Finally, SEM observation highlighted the presence of black crust on arch samples and the presence of pollen on the black crust and spheroidal particles probably related to atmospheric pollution.

New technologies play a central role in damage prevention of artistic and cultural heritage. The literature is flourishing of mathematical models that describe the process of corrosion due to weathering and exposition to pollutants. These models consist of differential equations or partial differential equations that need to be solved approximately by numerical methods. This paper aims to describe the mathematical models in the literature and the numerical methods used for their solution. We focus in particular on the studies of corrosion of pieces of art made of stone, lime mortar concrete and metal.
