Abstract

In the last decades the evaluation of the seismic risk is, of rising concern, considered essential in the activity and definition of strategy planning and urban management. The evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of the existent building stock in the perspective of the seismic risk mitigation should not be placed only in relation to the isolated buildings of relevant historical importance, but also, in relation to the agglomerate of buildings in historical city centers.
