The damage assessment to cultural heritage assets after recent earthquakes, in particular inItaly (Umbria and Marche, 1997; L’Aquila, 2009; Emilia, 2012), showed the high vulner-ability of some types of historical structures (palaces, churches, towers etc.). Earthquakesalso proved that strengthening interventions adopted in the last decades are often invasive,ineffective and might also increase the vulnerability. Thus, there is an urgent need for devel-oping reliable assessment procedures and promoting effective strategies for the seismic riskmitigation of cultural heritage .Thepreservationofculturalheritageassetsmustguaranteetheircapacitytolastovertimeagainst decay, natural hazards and extreme events, without losing their authenticity and use.A strong engineering contribution on assessment and strengthening methods for historicandheritagebuildingswasdevelopedinthelatterpartofthetwentiethcenturyinEuropeandtheMediterraneanRegion.Inparticular,ICOMOSandICCROMhavepromotedanimportantcampaign to raise awareness on structural conservation through the writings of Sir BernardFeilden (1987) and the constitution of an ICOMOS International Scientic Committee forthe Analysis and Restoration of Structures of Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH) in 1996,which led to the adoption of the ISCARSAH Principles in 2003.ThegrowingattentiontothistopicisdemonstratedbytheEuropeanCommission’sfundingoftwolargeconsortiathathadsubmittedaresearchproposalunderthecallFP7-ENV-2009-1,on the effect of natural hazards on the cultural heritage, specically earthquake.The PERPETUATE project (Performance Based Approach to Earthquake protection ofCulturalHeritageinEuropeanandMediterraneanCountries)hadasmainobjectivetoproduceEuropean Guidelines for the evaluation and mitigation of seismic risk to cultural heritageassets, useful to support the design of strengthening interventions for the preservation of thearchitectural building and the contained unmovable artworks.
