In fact, Italy is reach ofmanyartistic goods which arenot only allocated into Museums.

Still today Churches are the place where some of the most important artistical works are kept: paintings, frescos, sta tues, altars andothermany sacredobjects. During the emergency phase, a big recognition work has beencarried out by the Civil Protection Department, as well as by a ll the Institutions which have been part of the recognition phase after earthquakes, collectinga database through the “Schede AeDES”whichhas been successivelydigitalized by the “Ministeroper i beni e le a ttività culturali e per il Turismo ” (MiBACT), able to gives for each building, the level of damage and the rela ted real situation of intervention.
