Descrição: Under seismic actions heavy non-structural objects, which are usually placed at the top of existing constructions, may constitute a danger to human lives and a considerable loss for world heritage. In this contribution, safety assessment of non-structural monolithic objects is discussed through the illustration of a case study, which concerns seismic protection of eleven ancient marble decorative pinnacles placed at the top of a three-arched masonry city gate in Ferrara (ITALY). A method for assessing the safety of the underlying masonry structure under the action of seismic excitations is outlined and the amplification of the ground motions due to the presence of such structure is evaluated.
