ABSTRACT

The definition does not take into consideration only civil, military or religious tangible assets, but even other kind of assets, the so-called “intangibles”. Therefore, at present, there is an increasing need to rationalise this issue, providing a methodological approach usable not only by government agencies, but also by the private industry, which has to face-at a reduced scale-the concern related to the criticality of its own infrastructures in different contexts among those considered until now.
