GPR geophysical prospecting
In this paper the results of a GPR prospecting performed in the cathedral of Acerenza (Basilicata, southern Italy) are proposed. The investigation was aimed in particular to search, if any, traces of the tomb of St. Canio with his bones, protector of the town of Acerenza. Data processed with GPRslice code have been 3D shaped to define the position, depth and volume of the tomb. The results are also in agreement with the historical sources that indicate the probably burial place.
