The seismic event, which hit L’Aquila (Abruzzo, Italy, April 6th, 2009), struck also several villages located in the vicinity. Among them, Arsita (Teramo District) suffered non- negligible damage and was included in the list of the most affected municipalities. After a brief description of the town and its territory, the paper focuses the work entrusted by the mu- nicipality to the team for the post-earthquake reconstruction plan (ENEA, as coordinator and scientific responsible; University of Chieti-Pescara “Gabriele D’Annunzio”; University of Naples “Federico II”; University of Ferrara). The activities foresaw a multidisciplinary ap- proach (hazards, vulnerability/resilience, risk/mitigation, intervention proposals/guidelines, development/sustainability, interaction/communication with resident people) involving a wide range of skills. Both on-site investigations and office work have been performed during the activity. Particular attention has been devoted to gather information through digital tools (tablet, smartphone, etc.) and organise advanced frameworks (GIS, WEBGIS and 3D virtual architectures). The paper describes in detail main steps and results of the reconstruction plan.
