After the Italian earthquakes of May 2012, an extensive research program has been performed to assess the state of preservation of the tallest historic tower in Mantua, Italy. The paper summarizes the information provided by visual inspection and dynamic tests, clearly highlighting the poor structural condition and the high seismic vulnerability of the upper part of the tower. Subsequently, the permanent dynamic monitoring system installed on the tower, with structural health monitoring and seismic early warning purposes, is described and the results of the first months of monitoring are presented and discussed.

Abstract
After the Italian earthquakes of May 2012, an extensive research program has been performed to assess the state of preservation of the tallest historic tower in Mantua, Italy. The paper summarizes the information provided by visual inspection and dynamic tests, clearly highlighting the poor structural condition and the high seismic vulnerability of the upper part of the tower. Subsequently, the permanent dynamic monitoring system installed on the tower, with structural health monitoring and seismic early warning purposes, is described and the results of the first months of monitoring are presented and discussed.File in questo prodotto:
