Seismic vulnerability of historical structures. Damage state of the Abruzzo churches, in the sequence of the 2009 earthquake

Each earthquake represents a particular moment in the history of the affected region. It is an event from which it is necessary to withdraw as much knowledge as possible. The seismicity in Italy reaches frequently high values, what makes it a country particularly affected by this kind of natural dis...
