    Notes: Abstract This paper describes the problems concerning the relation between intensity and magnitude, which are substantially different quantities by nature. In consideration of the necessity “to translate” magnitude values into intensity values, andvice versa, to find magnitude values for historical earthquakes, we have searched for a correspondence that may exist between intensity and magnitude, hypothesising that magnitude values were distributed as a known function. Therefore, we have analysed two distribution functions, first the Gaussian distribution, then a box function, of which the goodness of fit has been estimated by the χ2 test. In conclusion, the probability distribution of magnitude vs intensity seems better described by a Gaussian curve.

    Notes: Several seismogeological effects of earthquakes on the environment have been collected by means of the ING macroseismic procedure. The fast and easy collection of information about ground and hydrological effects constitutes a complementary instrument in assessing the effects on human structures and the environment, and, ultimately, establishing intensity values. In this paper the distribution of seismogeological effects within intensity values has been verified, using data from three moderate Italian earthquakes; the density of the same effects are then discussed in comparison with isoseismal maps.

    Notes: Abstract The city of Rome is subjected to moderate seismic risk due to both local and external seismicity. Up to now, the maximum intensity felt has never exceeded VIII MCS. The 1 November 1895 (I o = VII) and 31 August 1909 (I o = VI) earthquakes demonstrate that small local events can also cause damage in a large old city. In the present work, we have re-evaluated the intensity values of those two events by means of automatic processing. A comparison between the present results with geological evidence and previous studies is shown, especially for the historical centre of Rome. For the first time, the 1909 earthquake instrumental magnitudeM L = 3.6 has been calculated from original recordings.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this paper is to define the macroseismic field of the 5 May 1990 Potenza earthquake, analysing about 3000 questionnaire forms together with the results of the direct inquiries carried out in the field. The study evidences the seismic vulnerability of the Potenza district and of the whole of southern Italy in general, due to the low resistance characteristics of the old constructions and a lack of seismic prevention. Besides, geomorphological failure increases hazardous situations at the earthquake's occurrence. This earthquake provided a good test for checking and improving the ING macroseismic data collection procedures.

    Notes: Abstract On October 10, 1995, an ML= 4.8 (ING) earthquake occurred in the region of Lunigiana (northwestern Italy). The shock was felt over a large area and produced significant damage. We performed a macroseismic survey and damage zonation and assessed a maximum intensity VII MCS in the epicentral area. The damage pattern, that we investigated in detail for some of the villages in the most heavily damaged area, emphasises the role of surface geology in amplifying the effects. Topographic effects and near-surface geology are largely responsible for broadening the damage area. Given the moderate size of the earthquake, many of the macroseismic observations, including rotations of objects and the propagation of visible waves in the ground, are suggestive of amplification phenomena.

    Notes: Abstract We attempt to put right an algorithm for the objective evaluation of seismic intensities by questionnaires. For its investigation, the National Institute of Geophysics in Rome uses, a macroseismic questionnaire composed of 79 quesitons, distributed into 10 degrees of the Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg (MCS) scale. This algorithm makes use of the weighted mean of the number of given answers concerning each degree. This kind of weighted mean seems to be suitable for avoiding the phenomena of the effects of superimposition.

    Notes: Abstract Within the framework of a study of the seismicity of the Aniene Valley (Central Italy), we analysed the medieval earthquakes of Subiaco (1216, 1227, 1299), the largest events reported for the area. Our main goal was to investigate some doubtful events reported in earthquake catalogues and, as such, currently utilised for seismic hazard estimates. A careful screening of the oldest available sources and their filiation pattern up to the present pointed out the uncertainty on the date and nature of these phenomena. A multidisciplinary approach based on the joint analysis of archaeological, geomorphologic and historical evidence allowed us to propose new interpretations concerning these events and their significance for the assessment of seismic hazard in the Aniene Valley. The main conclusion is that the dates of the 1216 and 1227 events are fairly unsupported. In particular, the 1216 earthquake could be dated back to between AD 1159 and 1181.

    Notes: Abstract The border area between Italy and Slovenia has been chosen for a proposed project on border earthquake's assessment (BEA). Attempts at the unification of macroseismic practice among the countries have been rare and not very successful, due to the different and often incompatible local traditions for the derivation of intensity data. With the publication of the new EMS-92 scale, the idea was born to try to unify the procedures in data collection on both sides of the border. The pilot project was proposed, consisting mainly of the preparation for eventual strong earthquakes in the future. A special civil engineering form for damage assessment was designed to be used in the damaged area. The path of this idea is presented.
