The resilience of modern societies relies on inherent characteristics of built and natural environment, as well as on a number of anthropic and natural hazards. When the architectural heritage of a Country is considered, a high level of complexity is usually observed due to the stratification of structural and non-structural interventions over the centuries. This circumstance points out the importance of advanced strategies to preserve the cultural heritage and mitigate the effects of natural hazards, such as floods and earthquakes. The present paper provides an overview of a research activity carried out in the context of a National project issued by Arcus S.p.A. and MiBACT and focused on a historically relevant structure, the Carthusian Monastery of Trisulti in Collepardo, Central Italy. The selected explanatory case is representative of the importance of enhancing the knowledge about historical structures in view of their structural and seismic performance assessment.

Abstract
The resilience of modern societies relies on inherent characteristics of built and natural environment, as well as on a number of anthropic and natural hazards. When the architectural heritage of a Country is considered, a high level of complexity is usually observed due to the stratification of structural and non-structural interventions over the centuries. This circumstance points out the importance of advanced strategies to preserve the cultural heritage and mitigate the effects of natural hazards, such as floods and earthquakes. The present paper provides an overview of a research activity carried out in the context of a National project issued by Arcus S.p.A. and MiBACT and focused on a historically relevant structure, the Carthusian Monastery of Trisulti in Collepardo, Central Italy. The selected explanatory case is representative of the importance of enhancing the knowledge about historical structures in view of their structural and seismic performance assessment. A multidisciplinary approach plays a fundamental role in this context.Pubblicazioni consigliate
