• Comprehensive study on the Church of Ss. Annunziata in Paestum, Italy. • Utilization of extensive photogrammetric survey for accurate geometric modelling. • Dynamic characterization in Abaqus environment for material modelling and local failure mechanism assessment. • Analysis under varying seismic intensities to evaluate structural behaviour and vulnerability. • Insights aid informed decision-making for preservation and restoration efforts. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the Church of Ss. Annunziata in Paestum (Italy), focusing on its historical reconstruction, current condition analysis, and dynamic characterization. An extensive photogrammetric survey employing terrestrial and aerial photography was conducted to establish an accurate geometric model of the church. Subsequently, the model was set up into Abaqus ambiance for dynamic characterization, material modelling and assessment of potential local failure mechanisms through nonlinear dynamic analysis under varying seismic intensities. The research provides valuable insights into the structural behaviour of the church and its vulnerability to seismic events, aiding in informed decision-making for preservation and restoration efforts.
