PurposeThis paper aims to contribute to the discussion of the experimental campaigns on Cultural Heritage buildings. By adopting integrated procedures it is possible to limit the invasiveness of the destructive techniques leading to reliable results. The purpose is the proper definition of the structural system, which represents the starting point of the following analysis's phases, not treated in this work. A methodology based on normative references and acknowledged non-destructive and partial destructive strategies has been conceived. The latter aims to an accurate comprehension of the structural information.Design/methodology/approachAn integrated approach for the structural assessment of cultural heritage buildings is presented. The methodology defines an interdisciplinary procedure based on normative references, non-destructive and minor-destructive techniques. A funnel-shaped workflow is developed to characterize the structural system of the buildings. The non-destructive campaigns are widely extended. Then, in-depth analysis concerning partial demolitions and minor-destructive tests are performed. The dynamic identification of the building is executed to detect its global response. The final validation of the assumed mechanical values is obtained by comparing the experimental modes coming from the ambient vibrations and the analytical modes of the structural modelling.FindingsThis research belongs to the Protocol signed between the Municipality of Florence and Department of Earth's Science and Department of Architecture of the University of Florence for the seismic vulnerability assessment of relevant and strategic buildings.Research limitations/implicationsThe descripted methodology is targeted for monuments and special buildings where the use of destructive techniques is not possible or unrecommended.Social implicationsSocial implications are related to the conservation of Heritage buildings. The latter deals with: (1) risk assessment of the targeted buildings towards different hazard sources (e.g. earthquakes, floods); (2) knowledge path developed through non-invasive diagnostic campaigns oriented to the conservation of the manufact. Furthermore, the paper encourages towards the recognition of non-destructive techniques and ambient vibration tests for the achievement of higher knowledge levels.Originality/valueThis paper defines a funnel-shaped procedure defining hierarchical roles between the different available strategies. The originality of this contribution is firstly related to the methodological flowchart. It is targeted to limit the invasive tests and consequently achieving accurate levels of knowledge. Secondly, some novelty can be found in the adoption of improvement parameters from a regional database adopting a Bayesian approach.

Della vita istituzionale e pubblica di Averardo Serristori sappiamo molto, al contrario resta alquanto sconosciuta la dimensione della vita privata familiare. Obiettivo di questo studio è stato quello di indagare la ricca corrispondenza conservata nell'archivio di famiglia per mettere in luce le strategie di Averardo in ambito familiare, come si rapportava con la moglie Alessandra e i figli Lodovico, Camillo, Bartolomeo, e Antonio, il fratello Tommaso e la cognata suon Laudomia, e quali erano gli argomenti trattati nelle missive; in definitiva si intende conoscere la vita privata di questo importante ambasciatore fiorentino al servizio di Cosimo I de Medici per completarne la biografia.
