Seismic improvement interventions on the church of San Rocco in Casalmaggiore (CR)

Seismic safety of places of worship, restoration of FEC heritage and shelters for art works (Recovery Art) (Mission 1, Component 3, Investment 2.4)

Italy's Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for an anti-seismic preventive action plan in order to significantly reduce the risk on worship places and thus avoiding the potential restoration cost after disasters, as well as the permanent loss of many assets.

The action plan has three lines of actions: the protection of places of worship against seismic risks; the restoration of the heritage of the Fund for places of worship (FEC) and the construction of warehouses as shelter for art works in case of catastrophic events.

The investment also envisages the creation of the National Functional Centre for the Protection of Cultural Assets from Human and Natural Risks (CEFURISC), allowing for a more synergistic use of existing technologies and environmental systems for monitoring, surveillance and management of cultural sites.

The investment is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan by EUR 800 million.

The seismic improvement interventions on the church of San Rocco in Casalmaggiore are part of this investment.
