1. Context ANSFISA has embarked on a path to promote safety (which also underlies resilience) for road infrastructure managers. The activities to promote safety and verify the work of the operators on the existing bridges are articulated on the different levels. The digitalization of processes and tools aimed at verifying the state of risk and securing infrastructures is the first step to be taken. The processes of Digitization and Building Information Modeling ( BIM ) combined with correct procedures for finding and organizing information support Managers, Professionals, and Administrations; providing not only application tools, but also structured information to evaluate and control the conditions of infrastructure assets throughout the entire life cycle and to efficiently arrange, integrate and visualize information relating to: • state of conservation; • possible actions; • maintenance management; • any design (ordinary maintenance, repair or local interventions, improvement interventions, adaptation interventions, extraordinary maintenance, seismic adjustment, reinforcement, replacement).

2. "Digital" risk assessment and management The National Agency for the Safety of Railways and Road and Highway Infrastructures (ANSFISA) was established with the so-called Genoa Decree, that is, pursuant to Article 12 of Legislative Decree no. 109 of 28 September 2018, converted with amendments by Law no. 130 of 16 November 2018. Without prejudice to the tasks, obligations and responsibilities of the owner and managing bodies in the field of safety, the Agency shall promote and ensure the supervision of the safety conditions of the national rail system and of road and highway infrastructures. It is now internationally consolidated, both at a technical-scientific and regulatory level, that "safety" cannot be achieved in a certain and absolute way (non-existence of the so-called "zero risk", a concept now unanimously considered outdated), but that it constitutes the result of a more general process of "risk assessment and management". The ultimate objective ( Genoa Decree ) is that all infrastructure managers and transport system operators develop, apply and maintain a Safety Management System , to: • type of risk identification; • consequent risk evaluation and classification; • risk control measures implementation; • interventions planning.
