Following the success of its first edition, the Advanced Training Course in Monuments and Earthquakes returns for the 2025–2026 academic year, promoted by the Department of Structures for Engineering and Architecture (DIST) in collaboration with the Interdepartmental Center for Cultural Heritage Engineering (CIBeC) at the University of Naples Federico II.
The specialization course in Engineering for Cultural Heritage has reached its 19th edition: this course is open to graduates (bachelor’s and master’s degrees) in all Engineering or Architecture degree classes.
We are pleased to announce an important new milestone in the growth of the Interdepartmental Engineering Center for Cultural Heritage (C.I.Be.C.): the launch of our official LinkedIn page! This step allows us to open an additional channel of communication and collaboration with all of you—professionals, researchers, students, and companies in the field.
The “10th National Conference on the History of Engineering – 6th International Conference,” held on June 13-14, 2024, at the historic Engineering campus in Piazzale Tecchio, Naples, was a significant opportunity for scholars and professionals worldwide to exchange ideas. Organized by the Italian Association of History of Engineering (AISI), this event has consistently promoted research and the dissemination of engineering history, highlighting its vital role in modern society.
The consolidation and restoration of the Grotta di San Biagio, a place of worship dating back to the V-VI century A.D. located at the base of the hill of Varano in Castellammare di Stabia nearby Villa Arianna, is among the interventions that the Archaeological Park of Pompeii is carrying out with the collaboration of the Interdepartmental Center of Cultural Heritage (CIBeC) of the University of Naples Federico II.
The specialization course in Engineering for Cultural Heritage has reached its 18th edition: this course is open to graduates (bachelor’s and master’s degrees) in all Engineering or Architecture degree classes.
The first edition of the specialization course in Monuments and Earthquakes has ended successfully. The final activities included a visit, organized by the director of the C.I.Be.C. Prof. Luciano Rosati, at the excavation sites of the Ancient Theater of Naples, an amazing example of a Roman structure dating back to the 1st century BC.
The research activities of the C.I.Be.C. receive a new impulse from the stipulation of a technical-scientific agreement with the Archaeological Park of Ercolano, under the scientific coordination of Prof. Salvatore Sessa, as part of the collaboration activities already in place with the Federico II University.
The C.I.Be.C.’s courses are enriched with a new specialization course in Monuments and Earthquakes, open to professionals in the cultural heritage sector interested in exploring aspects related to seismic vulnerability and the protection of historical structures.
AISI, in collaboration with the Italian Philhellennic Society and C.I.Be.C. (Interdepartmental Engineering Center for Cultural Heritage) of the University of Naples Federico II, has organized a round table on the theme “Archaeology, Territory, Tourism, Relationships between Technicians and Institutions: the Cilento Case” for 15 October 2022 .
