Abstract
The paper describes the research process and methodology adopted in the study of a complex place which was buried under the 1669 mount Etna lava flow and has been brought to light in the last years. The site has an ecceptional value: it represents one of the few architectural memories of the etnean area that survived both the great eruption (1669) and the disastrous earthquake (1693). The complexity of the place requires a holistic approach that takes advantage of Surveying and Drawing disciplines as knowledge and investigation tools for the understanding of the site and the architectural text according to several analysis and points of view (metrical survey, building techniques analysis, history of art and architecture, graphical and metrical analysis) in order to give back to the scientific and local community a fundamental lacking tile of the past.
