The seismic safety of two medieval masonry bell towers in Italy is investigated. A vibration-based procedure is used to investigate the dynamic features of monuments dealing with the uncertainties due to the mechanical characteristic of the material. The seismic assessment is carried out with nonlinear static analysis of the tower under multimodal distributions of lateral loads. A displacement-based version of the capacity spectrum method based on the inelastic demand spectra is finally used to evaluate the seismic performance of the towers at the different limit states.
