About Archivio Storico Macrosismico Italiano

The Italian Archive of Historical Earthquake Data (ASMI) provides access to data on more than 6500 Italian earthquakes in the period 461 B.C. to 2020, deriving from more than 430 seismological studies. It can be searched by earthquake or by data source, with data presented as texts, tables of earthquake parameters and macroseismic intensities, and interactive maps showing epicentres and intensity distributions.

ASMI gives access to different studies and alternative data on the same earthquake, and is used for collection and comparison of data for the Italian Macroseismic Database (DBMI) and the Parametric Catalogue of Italian Earthquakes (CPTI). It is part of the European Archive of Historical Earthquake Data (AHEAD) portal.
