This work compares the disaster waste management policies carried out in Italy, after two recent earthquakes (Mw 6.3 L’Aquila; Mw 5.86 Emilia-Romagna) and the Mw 6.46 1976 Friuli earthquake. Special attention is paid on the positive experience of building waste management in the town of Venzone, Friuli-Venezia Giulia (north-eastern Italy), which historic buildings were almost completely damaged. Indeed, it is possible to recognize that, more than 40 years after that event, the recycling program conducted by the Municipality allowed to fully recover the cultural heritage; additionally, this choice avoided significant environmental impacts, considering the alternative forms of disaster waste disposal.

Abstract
This work compares the disaster waste management policies carried out in Italy, after two recent earthquakes (Mw 6.3 L’Aquila; Mw 5.86 Emilia-Romagna) and the Mw 6.46 1976 Friuli earthquake. Special attention is paid on the positive experience of building waste management in the town of Venzone, Friuli-Venezia Giulia (north-eastern Italy), which historic buildings were almost completely damaged. Indeed, it is possible to recognize that, more than 40 years after that event, the recycling program conducted by the Municipality allowed to fully recover the cultural heritage; additionally, this choice avoided significant environmental impacts, considering the alternative forms of disaster waste disposal.Pubblicazioni consigliate
