Knowing the location, the extent and the characteristics of any earthquake-induced environmental phenomenon is becoming an increasingly pressing need for civil protection agencies and local administrations. In particular, earthquake-triggered landslides are known for being among the most important sources of secondary hazard, as they may cause sign...

All'inizio del 2018 è stata pubblicata una nuova versione del Catalogo dei Forti Terremoti in Italia e nell'area mediterranea, denominata CFTI5Med (Guidoboni et al., 2018). La nuova versione giunge a 11 anni dalla precedente versione (Guidoboni et al., 2007) e ad oltre vent'anni dalla prima uscita (Boschi et al., 1995). Il CFTI, che è basato su una...

Ischia is a densely inhabited and touristic volcanic island located in the northern sector of the Gulf of Naples (Italy). In 2017, the Mw 3.9 Casamicciola earthquake occurred after more than one century of seismic quiescence characterized only by minor seismicity, which followed a century with three destructive earthquakes (in 1828, 1881, and 1883)...

A key element for assessing seismic hazard and risk is the availability of a comprehensive dataset on past earthquakes. Here we present the rationale, structure and contents of CFTI5Med ( https://doi.org/10.6092/ingv.it-cfti5 ), the 2018 version of the Catalogue of Strong Earthquakes in Italy: a large multidisciplinary effort including historians,...

On 21 August 1986 almost 1800 people were asphyxiated by a CO2 cloud violently released by Lake Nyos, Cameroon. Post-1986 monitoring of Lake Nyos revealed that CO2 steadily accumulates in bottom waters through recharge from soda-rich aquifers. The 1986 lake roll-over event triggered scientific research on volcanic lakes, creating “Nyos biased” inte...

L’ultima versione del Database Macrosismico Italiano chiamata DBMI15 è stata rilasciata a luglio 2016 e aggiorna e sostituisce la precedente, DBMI11 (Locati et al., 2011). DBMI fornisce un set di dati di intensità macrosismica relativo ai terremoti italiani nella finestra temporale 1000-2014. I dati provengono da studi di autori ed enti diversi, si...

The latest version of the Italian Macroseismic Database, DBMI15, has been released in July 2016, and replaces the prevision version, called DBMI11 (Locati et al., 2011). DBMI makes available a set of macroseismic intensity data related to Italian earthquakes and covers the time-window 1000-2014. Intensity data derive from studies by authors from va...

This new Catalogue (in Italian) of the volcano’s Etna historical eruptions, published in July 2014, presents the results of a historical research on written, iconographical and epigraphical sources over a period more than 2000 years. The long research work on these historical materials was supported by a parallel study of the social and the cultura...

This historical seismology study examines and supplements what is currently known from written sources and archaeological literature about the earthquakes that took place in the area of L'Aquila (central Italy), struck by a damaging earthquake on 6 April 2009 (M-w 6.3), from the ancient Roman period to the late Middle Ages (first through fifteenth...

This conference paper (in Italian) presents a summary of the effects of the great Etna’s eruption of 1669 in Catania, a city-town of about 30,000 inhabitants at that time.

This paper presents the results of a systematic historical study of the seismic, bradyseismic and eruptive activity of the Campi Flegrei caldera. The aim is to make a revised historical data available for accurate volcanological interpretation, supplying additional data and highlighting spurious previous data. The analysis begins with the supposed...

The 1224 Mt. Etna eruption is a significant event both in terms of the mass of erupted materials and because it involved the lower eastern slope of the volcano, reaching down to the sea. Nevertheless, it is unknown to current historical catalogues. According to the historical sources, only two other lava flows actually reached as far as the sea: in...

Il terremoto del 1908 causò una perdita irreparabile del patrimonio storico e artistico delle due città dello Stretto. Monumenti crollati e parti di monumenti superstiti demoliti dopo il terremoto, per lasciare spazioa nuove aree previste dai piani regolatori, portarono a un azzeramento impressionante dell’eredità storica urbana di Messina e di Reg...

Mount Etna, in eastern Sicily, Italy, is an active volcano on whose slopes are the city of Catania and several towns. The volcano, whose eruptions are noted in written sources dating back to the thirteenth century B.C., continues to hold surprises for researchers who examine its eruptive history. During extensive historical research for a new catal...
