Very often, such masonry towers exhibit unique peculiar morphologic and typological characteristics, which might affect their different structural behaviors under horizontal loads. For this reason, an accurate knowledge of the dynamical parameters of structures is definitely useful for seismic assessment and for the design of risk mitigation interventions. In this work, the opportunities provided by dynamic identification techniques for the non-destructive evaluation of heritage structures are discussed with a focus on different bell towers, located in the Ferrara Province (Italy). All of them were stricken by a long seismic sequence (Emilia Romagna, North-East of Italy, May–June 2012 seismic sequence), and are investigated in detail in order to have an insight into their dynamic behavior. Furthermore, the experimental investigations and the operational modal analysis results are presented, and they are useful for defining the Finite Element (FE) model of the towers with a continuum approach. The monitoring system consists of several elements properly connected. The positioning of the instrumentation has been conditioned by many operative problems due to the limited accessibility of the structure, not only to the main access but also to reach the top. However, it has been possible to identify with a certain confidence the first three frequencies of the towers and their corresponding mode shapes. The results carried out after the updating procedure may be considered very good. The material data values estimated in this way will constitute an important reference for the evaluation of the state of the building.
