Abstract

The traditional building construction in Abruzzo has been strongly characterized by the presence of earthquake resistant systems because of the many earth tremors happened through the centuries. Between the 15th and the 20th century the region was characterized by very strong earthquakes which modified the historical and figurative features of the buildings and submitted them to a technical and empirical analysis, studied through the seismicity of the areas and the possibility of resources or the possibility building yard. Today, little remains of this reality, not so much because of the lack of technical and building expertise that has produced it, but because of the renovation culture almost always misunderstood, and radically different from that one of the past, which proceeded in a timely fashion, replacing the irreparable damages, reinforcing the inefficient parts but without ever changing the substance of the factory.
