The Observatory Claudio Ceccoli is a forensic engineering research centre that was established at the University of Bologna, Italy, in 2012. It aims to provide benefit for researchers, engineers, architects, contractors, lawyers and insurers. The main scientific objective of the centre is to promote research on building defects through a systematic study of real cases available from the Court of Bologna. The main practical objective is to develop a web-based database of all Court of Bologna cases involving defects in building structures. This paper illustrates the aims of the centre and presents results of its initial activities.
