The case study of Sacro Monte di Varese could mainly be divided into two parts, the SURVEY module, and the PRESERVATION module. The Survey module contains the photographic survey, the eidotipo, the measurement, and the 3d modeling of the chapel through the photo-based Metashape modeling. Simultaneously, the Preservation module contains the teaching of a general methodology of preservation from the archive document to understand the history of the chapel to the mappings of materials and the surface decays to understand what's at stake and what is the proper intervention to be done.

The case study helps us understand the rich context of Italian classical architecture and the trending approaches to preservation in the world.
