Abstract

The parametric catalogue of Italian earthquakes CPTI15 (Catalogo Parametrico dei Terremoti Italiani) represents the latest of a 45-years-long tradition of earthquake catalogues for Italy, and a significant innovation with respect to its predecessors. CPTI15 combines all known information on significant Italian earthquakes of the period 1000–2017, balancing instrumental and macroseismic data. Although the compilation criteria are the same as in the previous CPTI11 version, released in 2012, the catalogue has been revised as concerns: the time coverage, extended to 2017; the associated macroseismic data, improved in quantity and quality; the considered instrumental data, new and/or updated; the energy thresholds, lowered to maximum or epicentral intensity 5 or magnitude 4.0 (instead of 5–6 and 4.5, respectively); the determination of parameters from macroseismic data, based on a new calibration; the instrumental magnitudes, resulting from new sets of data and new conversion relationships to Mw. The catalogue considers and harmonizes data of different types and origins, both macroseismic and instrumental. For all earthquakes, the magnitude is given in terms of true or proxy moment magnitude (Mw), with the related uncertainty. The compilation procedure rigorously implements data and methods published in peer-reviewed journals. All data and methods are clearly indicated in the catalogue, in order to guarantee the maximum transparency of the compilation procedures. As compared to previous CPTI releases, the final CPTI15 catalogue shows a frequency–magnitude distribution coherent with current Italian instrumental catalogues, making it suitable for statistical analysis of the time-space property of the Italian seismicity.

Acknowledgements

CPTI15 is the result of the work of several authors. Among them, we wish to thank A. Antonucci, R. Azzaro, F. Bernardini, S. D’Amico, E. Ercolani, C. Meletti, A. Rossi, and A. Tertulliani for their contribution to the compilation and revision of macroseismic data and parameters, and their constant support throughout the compilation of the catalogue. Contributions from P. Albini, V. Castelli, C. H. Caracciolo, V. D’Amico, S. Pondrelli, and A. Rebez are also acknowledged. We thank the countless researchers, from Italy and abroad, and institutions that directly and indirectly contributed data to CPTI15. We are particularly indebted to the authors and contributors of all the previous versions of CPTI, first and foremost to Massimiliano Stucchi. We are particularly grateful to the compilers of the early catalogues of Italian seismicity for their pioneering efforts in this field, with a special reference to the memory of Daniele Postpischl. We wish to thank D. Slejko and D. Storchak for their thorough reviews. The compilation of CPTI15 has partially benefitted from funding provided by the Italian Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri—Dipartimento della Protezione Civile (DPC). This paper does not necessarily represent DPC official opinion and policies.

Funding

The compilation and maintenance of CPTI15 is funded by the Italian Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri—Dipartimento della Protezione Civile (DPC), and by Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV).
