In fact, from the 2009 earthquake management experience, it was possible to face the scenario that struck Italy in the la test serious event in 2016. Thanks to the activation of a series of operations, it was possibl to recover the huge historical andartistic Italianheritage constituted bymanydama edmovable goods. After the last seismic events, the technicians of specialUnits of theMinistryof culturalHeritage and Activities and Tourism (MiBACT), has carried out a survey to map the dam ge of both historical buildings and movable artistic g ods. Fr m this surv y, a damage scenario has emerged involvingabout 20.000historic l artistic a ssets andmovable archaeologists, over 4500 linearmet rs of archival assets a d 10000volumes of books assets. When possible, the artistic goods are moved from the Churches, ca talogued and hospitalized into specifi warehouses. The recovery of movable goods, promptly activated by the MiBACT, has involved their removal from the damagedbuildings and their subsequent placement in warehouses, even temporary, specially equipped and set up. These storages, managed byMiBACT, r able to guarantee the first activities of interventi n for th stabiliza tionof the artworks. In other cases, when was not possible to move th artistic works, a temporary structure has been built for the protectionof the goods (suchas frescos). © 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
