Abstract: | The Italian Apennines are seat of extensional deformation, concentrated along the inner part of the mountain belt due to the opening of the Tyrrhenian back-arc basin during the late Miocene and the following rolling back subduction of Adriatic plate with an extension velocity of about 3 mm year−1 (D’Agostino et al. 2008; Faccenna et al. 2004). Apennines chain is a zone of high seismic hazard (http://zonesismiche.mi.ingv.it; “Mappa di pericolositàsismica del territorionazionale”; D’Amico et al. 2013a) and it has been affected by a number of earthquakes in the past century suffering intensity X or higher several times in the past centuries (Boschi et al. 2000; CPTI Working Group 2004). The most recent examples are the 1980, M = 6.9, Irpinia events (Pino et al. 2008; Secomandi et al. 2013); the 1997–1998 Umbria-Marche (Caccamo et al. 2007) and the 2009 L’Aquila (D’Amico et al. 2010a, 2013b) sequences. |
