On 21 August 2017, a shallow earthquake of Md 4.0 struck the Casamicciola Terme village in the
north of Ischia volcanic island (Italy). The earthquake has the typical characteristics of volcanotectonic
events recorded at active volcanoes and occurred along the EW normal system fault
bounding the northern slope of Mt. Epomeo. The epicentral area has...
A modern approach to the assessment of seismic hazard cannot disregard the study of effects induced by
earthquakes in the natural environment. The knowledge and mapping of seismic-induced effects represent
the basis for providing a more reliable and realistic scenario in territorial planning. In recent years this has
been dramatically demonstrated...
The Ischia island is located on the northwest side of the Gulf of Naples. In historical times it was characterized
by strong seismic events and tsunami correlated to mass instability related to the volcano-tectonic dynamics
of the island itself. In particular the Casamicciola Terme village, in the northern area of the island, was heavily
hit by str...

In this article, we show why the geological model of the 21 August 2017 earthquake proposed by Nappi et al. (2018) has less uncertainty than the source model proposed by De Novellis et al.(2018). As a matter of fact, the Nappi et al. (2018) model takes into account all geophysical and geological information collected soon after the earthquake. On t...
