The study of historical earthquakes is very often the place to start in designing critical facilities. For this reason, accurate investigations on ancient events have been performed in all those countries in which the knowledge of the maximum level of hazard could directly affect the realization of important manmade structures. Italy is the most seismic area among the European industrialized co…
