2 Progetto Pon MASSIMO (Monitoraggio in Area Sismica di SIstemi MOnumentali) The MASSIMO project has the purpose to study and monitor the response of different types of constructions to seismic stress by different approaches Analysis of the seismogenetic sources; The surface geology, the topographic characteristics, the elastic properties of soils in relation to the monument architectural and static preservation; Monitoring and early warning products by using remotely sensed data (SAR and optical data); Earth monitoring products through aeromagnetic surveys; Monuments surveying (screening ) with proximal remote sensing instruments (laser scanner, thermal camera, sclerometer, georadar, sonic instruments, flat jack testing)
