    Description: Fear and its corollary, the need for reassurance and protection, are feelings as old as humankind, that every culture had to learn to cope with in its own way. There are positive ways of coping, by developing mechanisms (beliefs, behaviours, rules, rituals, myths, scientific theories, theological explanations to name a few) that help to accept/explain/set in context the fear, thus keeping it in check; and there are negative ways, by which one strives to forget, as soon and as well as possible, whatever it was that made one afraid and needing reassurance. Each way has its pros and cons, the ultimate choice being, most often, dictated by circumstances as well as by the general cultural outlook of the involved parties. This paper studies the “spiritual strategies” adopted by the communities that experienced the great Italian earthquakes of 1703, trying to determine whether they simply followed well-established patterns or whether they presented some elements of novelty.

    Description: Most of the ancient town of Tindari (NE, Sicily) was settled on a plateau the most surficial layer of which was made of unconsolidated material. Ongoing excavations at the archaeological site at Tindari uncovered a large portion of the decumanus which suffered deformations preliminarily assigned to coseismic effects. An analysis of the local dynamic response through the simulation of strong seismic shaking to the bedrock and modelling of spectral ratios of the bedrock-soft soil was carried out to verify the susceptibility of superficial terrains of the promontory to coseismic deformations. To perform this simulation the finite element method (FEM) was used. Four accelerometric recordings of three earthquakes of medium-high magnitude, recorded on rocky sites, were chosen to simulate the seismic shaking, using a constitutive law for the materials composing the promontory layers both of linear-elastic type and of elastoplastic type. The analysis of the linear-elastic field allowed the definition of the frequencies for which the spectral ratios of the accelerations recorded the highest amplifications; in particular the frequency range 31.5–37.2 Hz can be combined with deformation of the paved floor of the decumanus. The analysis in the elastoplastic field highlighted the zones of promontory more susceptible to suffer plasticization process. The results show that the topmost layer of the decumanus is the most susceptible to suffer plasticization. Therefore, the performed analysis lends greater support to the hypothesis that the deformations were produced by seismic shaking.

    Description: The tectonic deformation of the Lipari-Vulcano complex, one of the most important active volcanic areas of Mediterranean region, is studied here through the analysis of ten years (1996-2006) of GPS data from both 3 permanent and 13 non-permanent stations. This area can be considered crucial for the understanding of the Eurasia-Africa plates interaction in the Mediterranean area, and, in general, this work emphasize a methodological approach, already applied in other areas worldwide (e.g. Shen et al., 1996, El-Fiki and Kato, 1999) where geodetic data and strain parameters maps of critical areas can help to improve our understanding of their geodynamical aspects. In this framework, this study is aimed at providing a kinematic deformation model on the basis of the dense geodetically estimated velocities of the Lipari-Vulcano complex. In particular, the observed deformation pattern can be described by a mix between 1) the main N-S regional compression and 2) a NNE-SSW compression with a small right-lateral strike slip component acting along a tectonic structure N°40W trending located between the two islands. This pattern was inspected through a simplified synthetic model.

    Description: At the start of the Eighteenth century, in Italy and Europe, there is a flourishing journalistic industry whose main products are printed gazettes and monographic pamphlets addressed to a comparatively wide public of general readers. In previous centuries, journalistic sources of a kind where available too, mainly as handwritten newsletters, but these were meant only for a restricted clientele (diplomats, merchants and suchlike) wealthy enough to afford to pay in order to keep abreast of foreign occurrences thanks to an European-wide network of professional “informers”. During the second half of Seventeenth century an “information revolution” occurred as the target of the information market widened and became more popular; the invention of the earliest newspapers allowed the general public to get access to information on events outside its immediate range of knowledge. Among the many momentous consequences of this historical process there is one that holds great interest for the purposes of historical seismology, namely the enhancement of the chances of retrieving contemporary and reliable testimonies on seismic events. This paper focuses on the journalistic coverage of the great Italian earthquakes of 1703, analysing it systematically and checking its informative content. The results of the study points out the originality of the informative contribution to be drawn from journalistic sources and also helps discovering how much the information derived from these sources influenced the building up of the image of the 1703 earthquakes by later historical and seismological studies.
