In this work we present the result of a study aimed at examining the Italian
earthquake sequences that occurred in the area of the central Adriatic sea
with the purpose of understanding whether some of them were accompanied by
tsunami effects. The motivation for this research was the update and
enrichment of the Italian Tsunami Catalogue. The result was that evidence
was found for two new cases of earthquake-induced tsunamis: these are the
August 1916 Rimini and the October 1930 Ancona events.
The bulk of the present research consisted in collecting all the available
data on the earthquakes that affected the selected area in the past century
and in identifying those potentially capable of generating tsunamis. During
the study all the available material was gathered, which includes specific
monographs and scientific papers, articles available in contemporary
chronicles and in local and national newspapers. The final result of this
research will improve our knowledge of the tsunamigenic activity of the
central Adriatic sea and contribute to the assessment of the tsunami hazard
and risk along these coasts, that especially in the peak season form one of
the most densely populated areas of the Italian peninsula with flat and
large beaches and water front resorts crowded of tourists. |
