“…In this paper a brief summary is reported in relation to the Italian context. This field of investigation has developed since the 1970s of the last century within the branch of Medieval Archaeology, applying the method typical of excavation to his-toric buildings through the stratigraphic analysis of masonries [39][40][41][42]. Archaeology of building uses the artifact itself as its main historical source and enhances the other types of knowledge with the results of stratigraphic analysis of masonries.…”

Road networks are disseminated of bridge structures whose typology reflects the time of design and construction of the transportation infrastructure and its relevance in the reference geographical area. Among others, masonry bridges are still widely operational, especially in those regions affected by a limited urbanization and a very high landscape value. As a consequence, the maintenance and the reliability of existing structures is a key issue for owners and managers of road and railway infrastructures. This circumstance leads to the development of an integrated approach able to cover the needs of knowledge of the technological and structural features of the bridge along with its history and current conditions. The main contribution of the study lies in the implementation of such an interdisciplinary approach through the application of archaeological stratigraphic method and 3D data management to historical masonry bridges. The survey and inspection protocol, whose first results are here presented, aims to improve the knowledge of the assets, and facilitate the visual inspection. The results refer to a road infrastructure located along the Aterno River in the surroundings of L’Aquila (Central Italy) and point out promising perspectives in terms of feasibility and scalability of the approach to large stocks of assets.

“…The project was characterized by the running of an initial Cognitive Project (Parenti, 2002) through the ap− plication of a methodology based on an evaluation, preventive anamnesis of the buildings, for the correct levels of in−depth analysis of the same study ( fig.17). Thus the stratigraphic readings, dependent on obtain− ing precise results, based themselves on the determina− tion of the Construction Phases, focusing on the iden− tification, registration and characterization of all mechanisms potentially activated by seismic phenom− ena and protection techniques used to prevent, repair or mitigate the effects of earthquakes in the long term.…”

The contribution will outline a methodological program designed with the purpose of offering an innovative and multidisciplinary anal− ysis of seismic protection techniques in historical architecture of Mugello, a medium−high risk seismic on the Apennine mountain range between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. Although the existence of specific expedients used for seismic prevention is an accepted topic by the scientific community, many a time their recognition is dependent on the experience of researchers dealing with analysis. In fact, such measures, in many cases, are used for structural purpose allowing simultaneously protection from movements caused by earthquakes. How can we document and periodize these type of techniques and recognize an "anti−seismic" conception? An answer to this may only be found through a careful analysis complementing a deep knowledge of the building methods of the area under study, that can allow the break− ing up and dating of the single construction and destruction actions present in a building, leading to the identification of some "uncom− mon" elements in respect to traditional construction techniques, being able to interpret a specific function. It is thus only through the anal− ysis of this complex mechanism that is established over time, with the reading of the instability of macro−elements and the definition of the construction history of the building, that integrates a subdivision of construction typology with a stratigraphic decomposition of the artefact, that identification of "anomalies" within the building becomes possible. Applying this research methodology to a building, or even better to a whole area, allows the identification and dating of the potential presence of "safeguards" related to earthquakes, that is all ar− chitectural elements of various form, nature, raw material, etc., put into use during or after the construction of a building to mitigate, re− pair or oppose the effect of terrestrial movement.

“…The Parish church has been partially studied in preliminary studies (Arrighetti [2015]) according to the so-called 'archaeologia dell'architettura' method (Brogiolo [2002], Mannoni [1984], Cagnana and Mannoni [2000], Mannoni [2005], Parenti [2002]). The previous stratigraphic analysis included the facade of the church, the north-facing outside wall of the nave and the west-facing outside wall of the bell tower.…”

Historical seismicity is mainly defined from historical sources which are not always available. Yet historical buildings are an unique opportunity to record and study effects of past earthquakes at a given place. An innovative methodology is defined to improve knowledge of local historical seismicity. Such a methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach combining : analysis of historical sources, stratigraphic analysis and structural analysis of an historical building. The church of Sant'Agata del Mugello (Italy, Tuscany) is considered as a case of study. The stratigraphic analysis is performed by identifying the repairs using the RECAP methodology. 80 repairs units using 13 building techniques are identified in the church. The identified repairs are associated with unknown events, earthquakes or routine reconstructions. When post-earthquake reconstructions are found, damage mechanisms are associated with them. 13 constructive phases of the church have been traced combining stratigraphic analysis and historical sources. A proto-church was built before 948 A.D. and is nowadays below the current one. The first phase of the current church appears between the 9 th and the 12 th century. A significant event of unknown origin occurred during the 12 th century which probably led to an important collapse and then a significant reconstruction of the church. The church is then deeply affected by the 1542 seismic event (epicentral macroseismic intensity 9, deduced magnitude 6.02) which resulted in the collapse of the upper part of the bell tower and the two lateral chapels as well as the overturning of the front wall and of the two lateral walls of the nave. The 1611 seismic event (epicentral macroseismic intensity 7, deduced magnitude 5.1) damaged the upper part of the bell tower as described in historical records. In spite of the confirmed occurrence of seismic events in the area from the middle of the 17 th century and the beginning of the 20 th century, no information relating seismic damage of the church has been found in historical records nor in the startigraphic analysis. The most important earthquake which struck the area on June 19th, 1919, produced only some small cracks in the church (magnitude 6.38).
