The Italian legislation regarding the consolidation of brick buildings and the technical regulation for constructions in seismic area were framed in a system, in Italy, just since 1986. Actually two laws were passed: the decree 1/24/1986 regarding Technical rules for construction in seismic areas. Interventions on existing buildings and the decree 11/20/1987 titled Technical rules for the planning and the testing of the brick buildings and for their consolidation . Therefore both these laws are also applied to the Architectural Heritage with historic-artistic and environmental value. About the architectural heritage the Recommendations concerning the interventions on the monumental heritage with a specialistic typology in seismic areas (6/17/1987) were elaborated by a national committee. This paper shows how in the restoration praxis many difficulties arise trying to apply to the cultural wealth all those rules regarding buildings in seismic areas.
