In historic pietra dura mosaics subjected to high humidity, which outcome accelerates damage?

💡 Explanation

Hydrolytic weakening accelerates damage because water permeates the organic adhesives bonding the pietra dura to the substrate, enabling hydrolysis reactions that degrade the adhesive's mechanical strength; therefore, the pietra detaches, rather than being caused by stone thermal properties.
