| Abstract: | This chapter illustrates the studies carried out to interpret the landslide phenomenon that affected the hill where the Cathedral of Agrigento (Girgenti) and the entire diocesan area stand, producing subsidence of the bearing soil and damage to the superstructures of the buildings. The interpretation of the landslide phenomenon made it possible to rationally address the design of landslide risk mitigation interventions and, consequently, the execu-tion of structural consolidation works on the building. | ||||
