Real estate damages were huge and 47% of buildings were completely unusable. In order to cope with the urgencies, as indicated by the Region, campaigns have been organized of survey. Here is presented the survey related to the medieval town of Brittoli, located on the foothills of the Gran Sasso, led by a team of the Faculty of Architecture, using various methods. The produced material, along with the other six municipalities, provided support for the Reconstruction Plans of Municipalities in the Homogenous Area 5.
