Summary The Northern Apenninic arc belongs to the deformation zones surrounding the
Adriatic plate, which behaves as a rigid block. It is a NE-verging fold-and-thrust belt, which …

We defined a seismogenic model for central Italy based on three layers of sources and
computed the relative seismic-hazard maps. One layer is constituted by individual structures …

The Quaternary geodynamic evolution and the tectonic processes active along the Central
and Northern Apennines thrust fronts and in the adjacent Padane-Adriatic foredeep domains …

Movements on low-angle normal faults (LANF) are not predicted by traditional Anderson–
Byerlee frictional fault mechanics. Our investigations centre on three normal fault systems …

New seismic reflection data reveal that the south‐eastward prolongation of the Apennine
thrust front in the central Adriatic Sea is most likely located in a more external position with …

We present an overview of the seismogenic source model of the Adriatic domain included in
the latest version of the DISS database (http://diss. rm. ingv. it/diss/) and in the European …

In this paper, the relatively deep (up to 90 km) seismicity of central Italy is considered in
comparison with the upper crust seismicity at the outer front of the Apennine fold-and-thrust …

We have retrieved the stress tensor orientation in the Italian region, applying the FMSI
technique (Gephart, J., 1990b. FMSI: a FORTRAN program for inverting fault/slickenside and …

The present‐day stress field and its recent tectonic evolution in the Northern Apennines are
reconstructed from borehole breakout analysis and focal mechanisms of crustal earthquakes …

On 3 July 1987, a seismic sequence, with a mainshock of ML 5, took place in the offshore
Adriatic, close to the coast of Porto San Giorgio (PSG), Italy. We present an accurate …
