4. Results discussion In Fig. 4 are reported the obtained results from the application of the Level 0_E evaluation on the no. 8 churches investigated. Per each parameter (hazard, vulnerability, exposition and resulting risk) the results are ported simultaneously by score and by class of valuation (High, Medium-High, Medium, Medium-Low or Low). The following observations can be pointed out: • The Italian churches are found to be more vulnerable, at higher hazard and resulting risk than the Romanian ones; the exposition score and class, on the other hand, results the same for all churches. • The higher vulnerability and risk as scores result on the Cathedral of Matera, but if they are observed from the class point of view, the Cathedral of Matera, the Church of St. Fransis of Assisi and the Church of Saints Paul and Peter presents the same vulnerability and risk classes. • The obtained hazard and the exposure scores and the classes are the same per each group of churches.
