The strongest earthquakes ever in Friuli-Venezia-Giulia from 1000 to 2020

Historical series of the strongest earthquakes ever in Friuli-Venezia-Giulia

This page shows the strongest earthquakes ever with epicenter in Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, 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/CPTI15.4.4

Only seismic events with a magnitude ≥ 3.5 were selected from the database.

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 Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, those earthquakes not far from the regional borders have also sometimes been included.
