Eucentre is a non-profit private law foundation whose mission is to conduct research and provide training and services in earthquake and safety engineering 
Eucentre promotes science, research and innovation for the benefit of the community, offering targeted methodologies and concrete solutions for prevention, safety and resilience. It collaborates with institutions and companies to disseminate competencies for the common good.
Shake-tables
Other test systems
Eucentre carries out research activities in earthquake engineering and risk reduction through laboratory testing and numerical analysis, aiming to improve the seismic performance of structures and soils and to develop innovative seismic retrofitting techniques.
The Foundation promotes diverse and high-quality training activities aimed at academic and professional contexts, with constantly updated and innovative programs and initiatives designed to meet the evolving needs of the sector and society 
Eucentre ensures communication aimed at informing institutions, professionals, and citizens about ongoing activities and projects, with the goal of disseminating useful and accessible content and knowledge. It contributes to promoting a shared and informed culture of prevention and resilience.
I graduated cum laude in Civil Engineering from the University of Pavia and completed a PhD in Structural Engineering at the Milan Polytechnic/University of Pavia consortium. I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture at the University of Pavia.
He is an advisor to the Industrial Products Department at the Eucentre Foundation in Pavia.
He has over 25 years’ experience conducting theoretical and experimental research in the field of seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete structures, base seismic isolation, and experimental methods for structural engineering. He designed the experimental equipment for the Eucentre Foundation laboratories, including the largest vibrating table in Europe, a multi-axial vibrating table and one of the world’s largest dynamic simulators for 3D testing of seismic isolation devices, as well as a hybrid testing system. He has coordinated numerous national and international scientific research projects and is the author of over 150 scientific publications.
