In historical seismology, a primary task is knowledge on the seismic history of the territory, in order not only to evaluate the seismic hazard of a particular area, but also to improve risk communication towards citizens. In the present paper, a new way of risk communication was tested, exploiting the case of the big earthquake that hit the Northern Apennines (Emilia-Romagna region, Italy) in 1661 (Mw 6). A HGIS was created, based on a map of 1620 by Giovanni Antonio Magini, to systematize many different kinds of information (e.g. cultural and religious traces) collected for this event.

Abstract
In historical seismology, a primary task is knowledge on the seismic history of the territory, in order not only to evaluate the seismic hazard of a particular area, but also to improve risk communication towards citizens. In the present paper, a new way of risk communication was tested, exploiting the case of the big earthquake that hit the Northern Apennines (Emilia-Romagna region, Italy) in 1661 (Mw 6). A HGIS was created, based on a map of 1620 by Giovanni Antonio Magini, to systematize many different kinds of information (e.g. cultural and religious traces) collected for this event.File in questo prodotto:
