    A revision of the 1783–1784 Calabrian (southern Italy) tsunamis (2006)
    Copernicus
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-12-13
    Description: Southern Italy is one of the most tsunamigenic areas in the Mediterranean basin, having experienced during centuries a large number of tsunamis, some of which very destructive. In particular, the most exposed zone here is the Messina Straits separating the coasts of Calabria and Sicily that was the theatre of the strongest Italian events. In 1783–1785 Calabria was shaken by the most violent and persistent seismic crisis occurred in the last 2000 years. Five very strong earthquakes, followed by tsunamis, occurred in a short interval of time (February–March 1783), causing destruction and a lot of victims in a vast region embracing the whole southern Calabria and the Messina area, Sicily. In this study we re-examined these events by taking into account all available historical sources. In particular, we focussed on the 5 and 6 February 1783 tsunamis, that were the most destructive. As regards the 5 February event, we found that it was underestimated and erroneously considered a minor event. On the contrary, the analysis of the sources revealed that in some localities the tsunami effects were quite strong. The 6 February tsunami, the strongest one of the sequence, was due to a huge earthquake-induced rockfall and killed more than 1500 people in the Calabrian village of Scilla. For this event the inundated area and the runup values distribution were estimated. Further, the analysis of the historical sources allowed us to find three new tsunamis that passed previously unnoticed and that occurred during this seismic period. The first one occurred a few hours before the large earthquake of 5 February 1783. The second was generated by a rockfall on 24 March 1783. Finally, the third occurred on 9 January 1784, probably due to a submarine earthquake.

    Investigation on tsunami effects in the central Adriatic Sea during the last century – a contribution (2007)
    Copernicus
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-01-10
    Description: In this work we present the result of a study aimed at examining the Italian earthquake sequences that occurred in the area of the central Adriatic sea with the purpose of understanding whether some of them were accompanied by tsunami effects. The motivation for this research was the update and enrichment of the Italian Tsunami Catalogue. The result was that evidence was found for two new cases of earthquake-induced tsunamis: these are the August 1916 Rimini and the October 1930 Ancona events. The bulk of the present research consisted in collecting all the available data on the earthquakes that affected the selected area in the past century and in identifying those potentially capable of generating tsunamis. During the study all the available material was gathered, which includes specific monographs and scientific papers, articles available in contemporary chronicles and in local and national newspapers. The final result of this research will improve our knowledge of the tsunamigenic activity of the central Adriatic sea and contribute to the assessment of the tsunami hazard and risk along these coasts, that especially in the peak season form one of the most densely populated areas of the Italian peninsula with flat and large beaches and water front resorts crowded of tourists.

    Tsunami: a movie for the tsunami risk reduction in Italy (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Italy is a country well known for the seismic and volcanic hazard. As a matter of fact the first seismological and volcanological observations were done in since the Roman times. However, a similarly great hazard, although not well recognized, is posed by the occurrence of tsunami waves along the Italian coastline. This is testified by a rich catalogue and by field evidence of deposits left over by pre- and historical tsunamis, even in places today considered safe. This observation is of great importance since many of the areas affected by tsunamis in the past are today touristic places. The Italian tsunamis can be caused by different sources: 1- off-shore or near coast in-land earthquakes (e.g. 1627, 1783 and 1908 events); 2- very large earthquakes on distant sources in the Mediterranean (e.g. the 365 Crete subduction zone earthquake); 3- submarine volcanic explosion in the Tyrrhenian sea; 4- submarine landslides triggered by earthquakes and volcanic activity (e.g. 2002 Stromboli landslide). The consequence of such a wide spectrum of sources is that an important part of the more than 7000 km long Italian coast line is exposed to the tsunami risk, and thousands of inhabitants (with numbers increasing during summer) live near hazardous coasts. In order to reduce this risk and following the emotional impact of the december 2004 Sumatra earthquake and tsunami, we developed an outreach program consisting in talks given by scientists and in a movie, both exploring the causes of the tsuanami waves, how do they propagate in deep and shallow waters, and what are the effects on the coasts. Hints are also given on the most dangerous Italian coasts (as deduced by scientific studies), and how to behave in the case of a tsunami approaching the coast. These seminars are open to the general publics, but special programs are developed with schools of all grades. In this talk we want to present the movie used during the seminars and scientific expositions, that was realized from a previous 3D version originally developed for science festivals.

    A new version of the European tsunami catalogue: updating and revision (2007)
    Copernicus Gesellschaft GMBH
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: A new version of the European catalogue of tsunamis is presented here. It differs from the latest release of the catalogue that was produced in 1998 and is known as GITEC tsunami catalogue in some important aspects. In the first place, it is a database built on the Visual FoxPro 6.0 DBMS that can be used and maintained under the PC operating systems currently available. Conversely, the GITEC catalogue was compatible only with Windows 95 and older PC platforms. In the second place, it is enriched by new facilities and a new type of data, such as a database of pictures that can be accessed easily from the main screen of the catalogue. Thirdly, it has been updated by including the newly published references. Minute and painstaking search for new data has been undertaken to re-evaluate cases that were not included in the GITEC catalogue, though they were mentioned in previous catalogues; the exclusion was motivated by a lack of data. This last work has focused so far on Italian cases of the last two centuries. The result is that at least two events have been found which deserve inclusion in the new catalogue: one occurred in 1809 in the Gulf of La Spezia, and the other occurred in 1940 in the Gulf of Palermo. Two further events are presently under investigation.

    Tsunamis in the Aeolian Islands (Southern Italy): a review (2007)
    Elsevier Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The Aeolian Islands, located in the south Tyrrhenian Sea to the west of Calabria and to the north of Sicily, constitute the Aeolian Volcanic Arc, characterized by a relevant volcanic activity with an established tsunamigenic potential. According to the documentary sources that are available for the Aeolian tsunamis, and that cover unfortunately only about the last 100 years, Stromboli is responsible for the majority of the events. Some cases are also known to have occurred at the islands of Salina and Vulcano. In terms of intensities, the most destructive events are those originated by the Stromboli volcano, reported to have produced severe destruction to boats and houses, and to have even caused injuries and fatalities. In this work, we focus on the historical events, and discard the paleotsunami occurrences that were probably associated with the ascertained flank collapses of the volcanic cones. We also neglect the recent destructive tsunamis of 30 December 2002, which were caused by a series of mass failures at the Sciara del Fuoco, since observations and analyses are of such an amount that deserve to be illustrated in devoted papers. The bulk of the present research consisted in collecting all the available data on the historical cases (the first in order of time is the July 1916 Stromboli tsunami) with the purpose of casting more light on their generation mechanism and on their effects, and consequently of contributing to the studies on assessment of tsunami hazard and risk in the Aeolian Islands and in the southern Tyrrhenian sea.

    The new catalogue of the Italian tsunamis (2007)
    Springer Netherlands
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: A new Italian tsunami catalogue (ITC) is presented here. It contains 67 events, covering the period from the tsunamigenic Plinian eruption of Vesuvius (79AD) until today. It is the result of an intense work of scrutiny of the original sources of data, and integrates and updates the tsunami catalogue by Tinti and Maramai (TMC) published in 1996. With respect to the TMC catalogue, six new events have been added and six have been eliminated, while the 61 events common to both catalogues have been all re-examined and re-evaluated. The ITC fits the criteria adopted for the catalogue of tsunamis in the European region in the framework of the EU projects GITEC (1992–1995) and GITEC-TWO(1996–1998). It is in the form of a digital database, that was implemented through the Visual FoxPro 6.0 DBMS with the main purpose of building a rigorous and easy-to-use working tool for scientists as well as for people involved in hazard and risk reduction in coastal areas. Through the main catalogue screen, the user is allowed to browse the database and to get all the information concerning a selected event (occurrence date, cause, detailed description, references, etc.). Furthermore, by means of functional buttons, the user can perform data extractions according to several key combinations (date, generation, sub-region, tsunami intensity, cause, etc.) and also access the related database of the references containing about 230 entries. In addition to data in the form of text, the ITC also includes a gallery of images documenting tsunami damage and a unique set of analogue tide-gauge records. A further section of statistics provides space and time distribution of the events, tables and histograms. The catalogue is available at the INGV web site http://www.ingv.it/italiantsunamis/tsun.html and can be freely downloaded.

    Assessing the hazard related to tsunamis of tectonic origin: a hybrid statistical-deterministic method applied to southern Italy coasts (2007)
    Vinay K. Gupta editor
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: Italy is one of the countries of the Mediterranean Sea most affected by tsunamis. Catalogues of Italian tsunamis show that Italian coasts were attacked by large tsunamis in the past that had catastrophic effects, causing thousands of victims and severe damage, though the cases of tsunamis associated with volcanic activity and submarine slides cannot be neglected, most tsunamis were the results of coastal and submarine earthquakes. Therefore, assessing the occurrence probability of tsunamigenic earthquake is an important contribution to the global evaluation of tsunami hazard. Improving a methodology used for a preliminary evaluation of tsunami hazard in Italy more than one decade ago, this paper applies probabilistic seismic hazard techniques focussing on Calabria and Sicily, that are among the most active seismic and tsunamigenic regions in Italy. The estimated tsunami activity, expressed in terms of the number of expected events in a 10,000-year period with run-up heights exceeding a given threshold value, is compared with the information deducible from the most recent Italian tsunami catalogue
