Abstract: BIM for the seismic vulnerability of minor historic centers is a volume that combines technology and awareness to address one of the most pressing challenges of our time: protecting the fragile yet profound identity of Italy’s small historic villages exposed to seismic risk. In a country scattered with memory-rich historic centers, often neglected by urban planning, BIM transforms from an operational tool into a cultural device. The volume proposes a multilevel approach that integrates representation and drawing, digital surveying, advanced BIM modeling, GIS, and predictive analysis. At the heart of the research lies the MASON method, an algorithm capable of translating the complexity of the existing built environment into vulnerability maps and informed intervention scenarios. The case study of the village of San Rocco in Sora thus becomes an experimental laboratory for a new way of reading, interpreting, and safeguarding historic architecture. This volume is an invitation to merge technical expertise with civic responsibility, ensuring that digitalization is not an end in itself, but a tool for the conscious management and active conservation of the built heritage
