Description:
The Amatrice earthquake (Mw 6.0, Italy) occurred on August 24th 2016, and started a long seismic
sequence in Central Italy, severely affecting four Italian regions (Lazio, Abruzzo, Umbria and Marche)
and causing 299 fatalities and about 30.000 homeless. It was followed by two mainshocks of Mw 5.9
and Mw 6.5 two months later, the latter being the largest earthquake recorded in Italy in the last 40
years.
Since the early hours from the first mainshock, several Italian Institutions were involved in the field to
collect seismic data and to carry out geophysical, geomorphological, geological, geotechnical surveys,
with the final goal of studying the site effects of the epicentral areas. In this paper we focus on the
Amatrice municipality, where the impressive amount of data can increase the understanding of
correlation between seismic recordings and geological/geophysical properties of the ground.
