This study investigates the vibrations at the Castello Svevo-Normanno in Aci Castello (Catania), focusing on its historical and cultural significance. The research aims to analyze vibration levels and frequency distribution to achieve two objectives: protecting historical artifacts and structures through preventive vibration analysis and exploring the use of kinetic energy for powering autonomous systems. The study specifically focuses on the indoor context to understand its unique vibrational characteristics. Measurements were recorded along the X, Y, and Z axes, with detailed analysis of the Z axis using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Power Spectral Density (PSD). The results revealed consistent vibration patterns across all axes, with the Z axis significantly influenced by environmental factors such as wind and sea movement. These findings provide valuable insights for designing optimized energy harvesting systems, electromechanical converters, and monitoring devices suitable for operation in this specific historical context.
