 Atlas: The Rieti (Italy), Central Apennines, 1898 earthquake: how the study of moderate seismic events can help the ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
On June 27, 1898, an earthquake struck the Central Apennines at the southeast margin of the Rieti intermountain extensional basin, arguably rupturing a small sector of the Rieti Fault (RF) (the 25 km long NW-trending, SW-dipping normal fault that controlled the Quaternary evolution of the basin).
The macroseismic epicentre of the earthquake is, in fact, located a few kilometres east of the Rieti town, and the epicentral intensity was of VIII degree in MCS scale, corresponding to an estimated macroseismic magnitude of ca.
It is therefore a classic moderate seismic event, however the knowledge of its macroseismic effects makes it possible to prepare ourselves for more catastrophic earthquakes (M 6.5 to 7.0) that, according to available paleoseismological data, ruptured the entire length of the RF during the Holocene, and characterize the seismic potential of the area.
