The paper describes the research activities conducted on the 13th century Rognosa tower in San Gimignano (Siena, Italy), the historic town inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List in 1990. A structural nonlinear analysis of the tower has been performed via the freeware finite element code NOSA. The finite element mesh of the tower has been generated using a three-dimensional digital model of the tower and the surrounding buildings. The geometry data has been acquired by means of a time-of-flight laser scanner and then processed into the open source software MeshLab and other geometry processing tools. The behaviour of the tower, subjected to its own weight and time-dependent loads modelling the seismic excitations, has been investigated.
