Abstract
The analysis of the health condition of a Renaissance Italian Dome gave us the unique possibility to study some interesting, ancient tie-rods. The engineering analysis of the efficiency of these rods enables us to draw inferences about the technological evolution of handcraft, which becomes a mirror of the attitude of the time in approaching such technical problems.
