I terremoti nella storia d’Italia
The ShakeMap Atlas of Historical Earthquakes in Italy: Configuration and Validation
Italy’s archives dealing with historical earthquake data, particularly with regard to intensity, have been published and are constantly updated. In a new paper, scientists from INGV Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia adopt the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) ShakeMap software to calculate maps of strong ground shaking of 79 historical earthquakes with magnitude greater than or equal to 6. These events occurred between 1117 and 1968 C.E. The resulting maps are published in the INGV ShakeMap, and in the Italian Archive of Historical Earthquake Data.
