The strongest earthquakes ever in Trentino-South Tyrol from 1000 to 2020
Historical series of the strongest earthquakes ever in Trentino-South Tyrol
This page shows the strongest earthquakes ever with epicenter in Trentino-South Tyrol, from 1000 up to present times (year 2020 included). The information refers
to a database of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. In particular,
it is the following work: Rovida A., Locati M., Camassi R., Lolli, B., Gasperini P.,
Antonucci A. 2022. Parametric Catalog of Italian Earthquakes (CPTI15), version 4.0. National
Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), https://doi.org/10.13127/CPTI/CPTI15.4.
Below the map there is also a table, indicating the date, the denomination of the area
of maximum effects and the moment magnitude. Together with the events with an epicenter
in Trentino-South Tyrol, those earthquakes not far from the regional borders have also
sometimes been included.
