    Description: 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 (Mw 6.3), from the ancient Roman period to the late Middle Ages (first through fifteenth century A.D.). The persistence and magnitude of earthquakes in this area has had a strong bearing on the economy and culture of the communities that resided there, a fact borne out by historical accounts. The goal of this revision is to prompt thinking about earthquakes missing from the hazard estimates as well as on return periods for destructive earthquakes in the area. It presents a critical collation of data previously scattered among historical catalogs and writings. Ten earthquakes are examined for their historical and cultural background with a view to highlighting the existence of written sources and explaining both the quality of the available data and the information shortfall. We also show the limits and uncertainty of the information available, coming as it does from tersely written texts giving patchy coverage. This state of knowledge is due either to sources being lost or in certain centuries not being produced (there is a millennium of “lost” earthquakes) and to the present state of historical and archaeological research in this field. The historical and archaeological data we present are often poor/hard to quantify. Yet they are known and hence pose the problem of how to improve the earthquake catalogs and devise new quantitative approaches to hazard estimation based on multi-disciplinary dialog.

    Description: La risposta sismica all’interno di un’area ridotta, come quella urbana, può avere un carattere ricorrente, anche a causa di terremoti diversi? La domanda non è banale e presuppone di confrontare diversi scenari di danni avvenuti in una stessa area urbana, in periodi diversi. Il tentativo di evidenziare su base storica se esiste una risposta sismica tipica dell’Aquila ci ha suggerito di localizzare a scala di edifici i danni subiti per due terremoti, ben documentati nella storia della città. Sono stati scelti gli eventi sismici del novembre 1461 (Me 6.3, come il terremoto del 6 aprile 2009 e come questo preceduto da mesi di scosse) e il terremoto del 2 febbraio 1703 (Me 6.7). Questo ultimo grande evento sismico seguì di pochi giorni altri due violenti terremoti, accaduti il 14 e 16 gennaio 1703, che colpirono l’Umbria meridionale e il Lazio settentrionale. Gli effetti all’Aquila sono classificati per il terremoto del 1461 di IX grado MCS e per quello del febbraio 1703 di X MCS. Il primo epicentro è situato nella media valle del fiume Aterno, a sud-est rispetto alla città; il secondo si trova a 12 km a nord-ovest dell’Aquila. Si tratta quindi di sorgente sismiche diverse. Per entrambi questi due disastrosi eventi i danni agli edifici importanti della città (chiese, palazzi, monasteri) sono descritti da fonti contemporanee con elevato dettaglio, elemento che consente di delineare i due scenari di danno in modo preciso, rendendo confrontabili di dati. Le due mappe consentono quindi di paragonare gli effetti urbani anche con quelli causati dal terremoto del 2009, fornendo indicazioni importanti sulla risposta sismica dell’Aquila.

    Description: Un excursus storico di oltre duemila anni sintetizza le conoscenze attestate da fonti scritte. Antiche testimonianze, annotazioni in codici medievali, ma anche dettagliate relazioni di epoca moderna e rilevazioni contemporanee consentono di delineare un quadro il più possibile completo della sismicità di quest’area, abitata fin dai tempi più remoti. Emergono diversi terremoti minori, alcuni dei quali quasi dimenticati, che tuttavia confermano un’immagine dell’attività sismica nell’area dello Stretto caratterizzata da eventi frequenti, ma dominata da rari terremoti catastrofici.

    Description: Fra i più forti eventi sismici accaduti in Italia per perdite umane e impatto economico, questo terremoto fu paragonato a una guerra perduta. Sulla base di relazioni scientifiche del tempo e documenti istituzionali è qui delineata l’immagine degli effetti nei paesi danneggiati, di cui 462 in Calabria e 240 in Sicilia. Questa grande impronta sul territorio non è solo una drammatica pagina di storia sociale del Paese, ma anche un insieme di dati preziosi per localizzare la sorgente sismica e comprenderne la dinamica.

    Description: The current Italian seismic catalogues are generally considered complete, as regards the destructive seismic events which occurred from the 17th century onwards. In fact, research performed using target methodologies still reveal earthquakes of high intensity, not yet known to the seismological tradition. This is the case of an earthquake which occurred on 14 September 1780, which caused serious damage and victims in some towns of the Tyrrhenian coast of North-eastern Sicily (I0, = VIII MCS). The information reported in an anonymous printed account was verified in the administrative records; this allowed a reconstruction of a macroseismic outline of great interest, which may make more precise the seismic hazard assessment in an area at high environmental risk due to the presence in Milazzo of an important chemico-industrial complex.

    Description: The Italian earthquake catalogue is considered to be fairly complete starting from the 17th century and for classes of earthquakes of magnitude greater than 5.5. However, dedicated historical research has highlighted the fact that even in areas believed to be well-recognised from the seismological standpoint, authoritative traces of local earthquakes that have caused damage may also emerge. In this study, we present the results of a pilot study performed for the Upper Valtiberina within the framework of the INGV research programmes in the years 1999-2001, expanded and revised in 2005. The study highlighted seven local medium intensity earthquakes, which nonetheless caused damage to buildings. Besides the results, which as a whole have allowed us to classify 18 effects in 6 sites, the research method adopted is also presented. It is a method applicable to other cases as well, where the chronological earthquake indicators are unknown, being capable of unearthing earthquakes unknown to the tradition of seismological studies and the catalogues in use. A selection of the manuscript sources used is presented in the Appendix.

    Description: The effects of earthquakes that occurred in a given area contribute significantly to the evaluation of to local seismic hazard. The information concerning historical earthquakes of the Mediterranean area covers many centuries, but the wealth of information made available by historical seismology does not appear to ha taken into account by engineering seismologists. By adopting "attenuation laws" based on data contained in the seismic catalogues, not only do we sometimes come up against the gross errors normally found jn logues, but we also lose sight of important details relating to the characteristics of urban seismic scenarios this paper we describe the results obtained from the analysis of seismic scenarios in Ortigia (old Syracuse this analysis we emphasized the qualitative and descriptive data to outline the "largest historical eve reassessed the data concerning five earthquakes that occuned in 1169,1542,1693,1757 and 1846, w reported by the Catalogue of Italian Earthquakes with an intensity greater than or equal to IX MCS epicentre of which was located within 50 km of the city. The last two of these earthquakes turned out t result of mistakes in the transmission of the news and have therefore been removed trom the list of de events. In addjtjon, we reconstructed the damage caused by the 1542 and 1693 earthquakes on a ma ancient town of Ortigia, taking into account the economic, demographic, and urbanistic conditions of t The empirical elements supplied to evaluate the local seismic response can also be of use in the preservation of historical buildings.

    Description: The particular structure of the research into historical seismology found in this catalogue has allowed a lot of information about unknown seismic events to be traced. This new contribution to seismologic knowledge mainly consists in: i) the retrieval and organisation within a coherent framework of documentary evidence of earthquakes that took place between the Middle Ages and the sixteenth century; ii) the improved knowledge of seismic events, even destructive events, which in the past had been "obscured" by large earthquakes; iii) the identification of earthquakes in "silent" seismic areas. The complex elements to be taken into account when dealing with unknown seismic events have been outlined; much "new" information often falls into one of the following categories: simple chronological errors relative to other well-known events; descriptions of other natural phenomena, though defined in texts as "earthquakes" (landslides, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.); unknown tremors belonging to known seismic periods; tremors that may be connected with events which have been catalogued under incorrect dates and with very approximate estimates of location and intensity. This proves that this was not a real seismic "silence" but a research vacuum.
