Foreword

Thirty years ago, in 1985, the compilation of the "Catalogo dei Terremoti Italiani dall’anno 1000 al 1980" (Catalogue of Italian Earthquakes from the year 1000 to 1980) in the framework of the “Progetto Finalizzato Geodinamica” was completed and published by Daniele Postpischl (Postpischl, 1985a). The Working Group that authored the catalogue had the goal of verifying the information on Italian earthquakes listed in different available catalogues, in particular the ENEL (1977) one, and compile a new, state-of-the-art catalogue. At the conclusion of that work, which had appeared as preliminary with respect to the initial goal, the entire, almost forgotten subject area of historical seismology had emerged and “the first concrete advancements in the still long course of the research, towards the development of final products” were represented by the catalogue and the monographs on large earthquakes collected in the “Atlas of isoseismal maps of Italian earthquakes” (Postpischl, 1985b).

The possibility of having final products was rapidly abandoned, as testified by the long process that has led to the current version of the Italian Parametric Earthquake Catalogue, which inherited that epoch. Through years the possibilities of improving the knowledge on earthquakes already known to the seismological tradition have been - and still are - manifold, and new research strategies have developed.

The new version of the Catalogue, after thirty years, is a further important contribution to the advancements of the understanding of the seismicity of the Italian territory, the definition of seismogenic processes, the identification and characterization of active structures and the improvements of seismic hazard assessment.

The first version of the Parametric Catalogue of Italian Earthquakes (Catalogo Parametrico dei Terremoti Italiani, CPTI99; CPTI Working Group, 1999) was published in July 1999. It aimed at unifying and homogenizing, by using the same parameterization procedures for all the events, the information on Italian earthquakes since then produced by different investigators or reported by different catalogues (NT4.1, Camassi and Stucchi, 1997; CFTI 1 and 2, Boschi et al., 1995; 1997).

In 2004, the second version CPTI04 (CPTI Working Group, 2004) was published as the catalogue to be used in the framework of the Italian seismic hazard assessment MPS04 (MPS Working Group, 2004; Stucchi et al., 2011). CPTI04 was indeed new only as concerns the 1981-2002 portion, the remaining portion being the same as CPTI99 with the exception of the conversion of Ms to Mw with empirical relationships. Some experimental and/or partial version were then released within INGV or to specific research projects.

The third published version, named CPTI11 (Rovida et al., 2011), was released in December 2011. Together with a remarkable update of the input data, both macroseismic (collected in the 2011 release of Italian Macroseismic Database DBMI11; Locati et la, 2011) and instrumental, the most important innovations with respect to previous versions regarded the catalogue structure, consisting of three sets of earthquake parameters, i.e. macroseismic, instrumental, and preferred ones, and the inclusion of records related to many fore- and after-shocks. Nonetheless, for time constraints only studies contributing macroseismic data published before 2007 were taken into account and neither the empirical conversion relations for homogenizing instrumental magnitudes to Mw nor the calibration used to assess parameters from macroseismic data - except the experimental application of the method by di Bakun e Wentworth (1997) to a few offshore earthquakes - were updated.

Thanks to the improved methodologies developed in the framework of some European projects and, mostly, to the wealth of new macroseismic data published in the last five years, together with revised calibrations of instrumental magnitudes, a new important update of the catalogue, as well as a new release of the companion macroseismic database DBMI, has been released as CPTI15.


1. Introduction

The new version of the Italian Parametric Catalogue CPTI15 (Catalogo Parametrico dei Terremoti Italiani) represents a significant innovation with respect to the previous ones, which are then outdated. Although the general compilation criteria are the same followed for the previous CPTI11 version, the catalogue content has been in-depth revised as concerns:

  • the time coverage, extended from 2006 to the end of 2014
  • the associated macroseismic database (DBMI15; Locati et al., 2016), completely updated;
  • the considered instrumental data, new and/or updated;
  • the energy thresholds, lowered to 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 of the Boxer method;
  • the instrumental magnitudes, resulting from new sets of data and new conversion relationships.

The catalogue covers almost the same area as CPTI11 (Figure 1), i.e. the entire Italian territory together with some neighbouring areas and seas, and counts 4584 earthquakes in the time period 1000-2014. The catalogue considers and harmonizes as much as possible input data of different type and origin.

The selected magnitude is moment magnitude (Mw), and for all the earthquakes the related uncertainty is provided. All the data and methods considered are clearly indicated in the catalogue, in order to guarantee the maximum transparency of the compilation procedures. As CPTI11, CPTI15 is not declustered, and contains all the foreshock and aftershocks available and known within the considered intensity and magnitude thresholds.

Figure 1. Map of the epicentres of the earthquakes listed in CPTI15, by Mw classes. The border of the new areal coverage is shown together with that of CPTI11 (dashed).

The catalogue contains earthquakes with maximum intensity greater than or equal to 5, together with those of instrumental magnitude equivalent (according to the adopted methods and conversions) to Mw 4.0 or larger. A few earthquakes with Mw < 4.0 are also included in the catalogue for the following reasons:

  • for the earthquakes in the Etna volcanic region, according to the adopted conversions (see below), epicentral intensity 5 corresponds to Mw 2.6;
  • for the earthquakes in the Phlegrean volcanic region, according to the adopted conversions (see below), epicentral intensity 5 corresponds to Mw 3.1;
  • with the exception of some earthquakes in the Etna area and those assessed as fake, all the earthquakes listed in CPTI11 are included in the new version, even if new data or the new calibrations (or both) result in Mw < 4.0.

Figure 2 shows the catalogue content by bins of 0.5 magnitude units.

2. Structure

As in CPTI11, data are organized in three sections, plus the general parameters (identifiers, origin time, epicentral or most affected area):

  1. default parameters;
  2. macroseismic parameters;
  3. instrumental parameters.

The structure of the catalogue file is shown in Appendix 1.

The codes in the field “Sect” indicate four different geographical portions of the catalogue and identify the earthquakes of the Etna and Phlegrean volcanic areas (for which specific energy thresholds and parameterizations were adopted), and the deep subduction earthquakes of the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea and Calabrian Arc.

The origin time generally derives from the study or catalogue indicated in the field “MainRef”.

Epicentral areas were revised and recompiled with homogeneous criteria, and the related field is compiled for all records.

2.1 Default parameters

Default parameters include the main reference to primary input data, i.e. the macroseismic study, the instrumental catalogue, or the parametric catalogue from which the epicentral location was determined.

2.1.1 Default location

The type of default location is indicated in the field “TLDef” and it is macroseismic (code “MM”) or instrumental (“II”) as available in the primary data, otherwise it is selected between the two possible alternatives (“MI” means the selection of the macroseismic location, “IM” the instrumental one). In the latter case, the macroseismic determination of the epicentre is preferred for earthquakes up to 1984, and the instrumental for later earthquakes. There are several exceptions that are related, for example, to earthquakes located at sea or close to the coast, for which it is generally selected the instrumental location. The macroseismic location is conversely preferred in areas where the coverage of the seismic network was in the past scarce. However, selections were as much as possible made taking into account the reliability of the available data. In general, for earthquakes located in bordering countries the epicentre proposed by the corresponding national catalogue (marked with “PC” in the field “TLdef”) was preferred, with the exception of French earthquakes, for which the macroseismic data contained in the SisFrance (BRGM-EDF-IRSN/SisFrance, 2014) database were processed.

Macroseismic data of 84 earthquakes in DBMI15 were not considered reliable enough to be parametrized (e.g. those related to aftershocks); additional 26 records correspond to earthquakes for which neither macroseismic nor instrumental data are available, although they are well attested by the reference study.

Figure 3. Type of default epicentral location in CPTI15. MI = macroseismic (alternative to instrumental); IM = instrumental (alternative to macroseismic); II = instrumental (only option); MM = macroseismic (only option); PC = from parametric catalogue; NP = not determined.

The hypocentral depth (field “DepDef”) is compiled only when the selected epicentre is instrumental and it is provided by the reference catalogue.

2.1.2. Default epicentral intensity

Epicentral intensity is provided for 3424 earthquakes for which macroseismic data were processed with the Boxer method (2922 records, see Section 2.2), or from the reference parametric catalogue (421 records) when provided. For 81 earthquake of the Etna area, epicentral intensity is derived from the study referenced for macroseismic data, instead of having been calculated by Boxer.

2.1.3. Default magnitude

Default magnitude is assessed from macroseismic or instrumental data, according to the availability and following the procedures described in the following.

If both a macroseismic and an instrumental magnitude estimates are available for the same event, unless the instrumental magnitude is a genuine moment magnitude, the default magnitude is the average of the two values, weighted with the inverse of the square of the associated uncertainties. In such cases, the uncertainty is estimated as the square root of the inverse of the sum of the weights.

For records derived from catalogues of bordering countries, magnitude is obtained from epicentral intensity through the empirical relation described in the following (Equation 2), except for the Swiss catalogue ECOS-09 (Fäh et al., 2011), from which Mw values and related uncertainties were adopted. For 45 earthquakes an epicentral location was adopted either from instrumental data or from a catalogue, but no magnitude estimates were found in the literature.

Figure 4 shows the proportion of each magnitude type in the catalogue.

Figure 4. Types of default magnitude in CPTI15 (InsO = instrumental "genuine" Mw; InsC = proxy instrumental Mw; Mdm = macroseismic, from intensity data; MIo = macroseismic, from epicentral intensity; Mpc = from another parametric catalogue; Wmim = mean of macroseismic and instrumental values; NP = not parametrized).

2.2 Macroseismic parameters

Macroseismic data supporting CPTI15 are collected in the Italian macroseismic database DBMI15 (Database Macrosismico Italiano, version 2015; Locati et al., 2016), containing 122’701 intensity data related to 3212 earthquakes. Data derive from 185 studies, databases, reports, and bulletins published up to 2016 and listed in Appendix 2. The number of earthquakes with macroseismic data nearly doubled with respect to the previous version of the catalogue and database (from 1681 to 3212 earthquakes, corresponding respectively to the 53% and 70% of the earthquakes in the catalogue).

For each earthquake the reference macroseismic study has been selected among all the available ones, as described in Locati et al, (2016), which are collected, archived, and made available - when possible - through the portal of the Italian Historical Macroseismic Archive “ASMI” (Archivio Storico Macrosismico Italiano). Selected data generally derive from studies which are more recent than those considered for the previous versions DBMI11 and CPTI11, and include 54 new studies published between 2008 and 2016. Such new studies provide data on 1243 earthquakes, out of which 325 were not contained in CPTI11, 722 were not supported by intensity data, and 146 have an updated study.

2.2.1. Macroseismic location

Parameters of earthquakes with macroseismic data were mostly assessed by using the Boxer method (Gasperini et al., 1999; 2010).

A macroseismic epicentre was determined for 3005 earthquakes. Among the location methods available in the 4.0 version of the Boxer code, we selected “method 0” (Gasperini et al., 2010), which determines the epicentre as the barycentre of the data points with the highest intensities. Such a choice was driven by the verified stability of the method even with poor intensity distributions.

For 63 earthquakes with epicentres likely located offshore or in coastal areas the location “method 4” was preferred. Such method calculates the hypocentral location (latitude, longitude, and depth) and the expected epicentral intensity according to the relation by Pasolini et al. (2008), minimizing the sum of the square of the residuals (see Gasperini et al., 2010). For 34 earthquakes out of these 63, the macroseismic epicentre is selected as the default one.

The uncertainty associated with the epicentral coordinates, as calculated by Boxer with both “method 0” and “method 4” is available for 2029 earthquakes, i.e. with enough intensity data.

For 33 earthquakes the location by Boxer resulted inconsistent with the intensity distributions, and the epicentre was modified, in general either assuming it as coinciding with the point of maximum intensity or excluding from the processing one or more high-intensity data points (assumed to be outliers).

For 79 earthquakes in the Etna area the location proposed by the reference macroseismic study, based on observed coseismic surface faulting (see Azzaro et al., 2000), was preferred to that derived from the available macroseismic data points.

In addition to the 86 earthquakes with unreliable intensity data, for 96 earthquakes with macroseismic data, in any case included in DBMI15, macroseismic parameters are not considered as they are inconsistent with the available and reliable instrumental determinations.

2.2.2. Macroseismic magnitude

The majority (90%) of the 3004 macroseismic magnitudes are calculated with the Boxer method, 1614 with the isoseismal method and the new calibration described in the following, and 1096, related to poor intensity distributions, with the new Io-to-Mw relation (Equation 2).

For parametrization purposes, macroseismic data with intensity expressed as non-numerical codes ("HF", "SD", "D", "HD") were converted to numerical values as in DBMI15 and described in Locati et al. (2016), with the exception of “felt” (“F”), which has been calibrated as a separate intensity value (see section 2.2.3). For the 20 earthquakes for which the magnitude was derived from a non-numerical epicentral intensity the converted numerical value was rounded to the closest half degree (F = 4.0, HF = 5.0, SD = 5.5, D = 6.5, HD = 7.5).

The uncertainty associated to the macroseismic magnitude, with 0.10 as a minimum value, is always shown in the catalogue. The uncertainty associated to magnitudes derived from epicentral intensity through Equation 2 was assumed equal to 0.46, corresponding to the standard deviation of the distribution of the individual earthquakes in the calibration dataset.

For earthquakes in the Etna volcanic area, macroseismic magnitude was calculated with the empirical relationship between Io and ML by Azzaro et al. (2011), specifically calibrated for the area. The same relationship was applied also to the earthquake in the Phlegrean volcanic area, for which a specific relationship is not available in the literature. The ML values obtained from Io were then converted to Mw, by using the relationships by Tuvè et al. (2015), and Petrosino et al. (2008) respectively for the Etna and Phlegrean volcanic areas respectively. Earthquakes belonging to such areas (Figure 5) are marked in the field “Sect” of the catalogue (Appendix 1).

2.2.3. Boxer calibration

The calibration of Boxer for calculating magnitude from macroseismic data was updated with respect to that used for CPTI11 (the same used for the 1980-2002 portion of CPTI04). Such new calibration derived from a dataset of 345 earthquakes with Mw between 2.8 and 7.1, selected among those with both macroseismic data (30138 data points, with intensity between 2 and 11 MCS) and instrumental magnitudes, either Mw or proxy (Figure 6). Earthquakes deeper than 30 km and earthquakes with less than 10 intensity data were not included in the calibration dataset, as well as some earthquakes with partial or incomplete intensity distributions (e.g. earthquakes at the border or at sea).

Figure 6. Magnitude and intensity distribution in the dataset used for calibrating Boxer.

Instrumental magnitudes used in the calibration were derived as described in the following section, and they include both moment magnitudes derived from moment tensor solutions and proxy values in order to ensure both a magnitude (or intensity) and temporal coverage as wide as possible. Sixteen intensity classes, i.e. those with intensity between 2 and 9 plus intermediate uncertain values and “felt” as an independent class, were calibrated to be used by Boxer in the formula by Sibol et al. (1987):

Mi = ai + bi log2 (Ai) + ci Io2 (1)

where M is magnitude, Ai is the area of the i-th isoseismal, Io is epicentral intensity, and ai,bi, ci are the coefficients shown in Table 1.

Table 1. Coefficients obtained through the calibration of Boxer.

From the same calibration dataset a new empirical relationship between epicentral intensity Io e moment magnitude Mw was derived:

Mw = (0.4667 ± 0.0191) * Io + (1.8267 ± 0.1571)     (2)
std = 0.11; R2 = 0.99

Equation 2 was applied also to epicentral intensity provided by other parametric catalogues, e.g. those of neighbouring countries, that were used in the lack of intensity data.

The calibration dataset was used also for deriving new coefficients (a, b), and the reference depth (h) of the relationship by Pasolini et al. (2008), used by Boxer location “method 4”

a = 0.00289 ± 0.00021
b = 1.24802 ± 0.01918
h = 7.44523 ± 0.27574

2.3 Instrumental parameters

2.3.1. Instrumental location

Twenty-six catalogues, databases, and studies listed in Appendix 3A provided an instrumental location for 1725 earthquakes in the time-period 1904-2014.

When more than one instrumental determination of the epicentre was available for the same earthquake, the selection was generally performed according to the following temporal priority scheme:

  • ISC (International Seismological Centre) Bulletin from 1963 to 1980;
  • CSTI1.1 (Catalogo strumentale dei Terremoti italiani; CSTI Working Group, 2005) from 1981 to 1996;
  • CSI1.1 (Catalogo della Sismicità Italiana; Castello et al., 2006) from 1982 to 2002;
  • INGV Bulletin from 2003 to 2012;
  • ISIDe (Italian Seismological Instrumental and parametric database) from 2012 to 2014.

The exceptions to the shown criteria are manifold. As an example, the ISC locations were preferred to others also in the period 1981-2012 (end of the Bulletin) for deep events in the Tyrrhenian Sea and for many earthquakes outside the coverage of the Italian seismic network (e.g. Central Adriatic Sea, Ionian Sea, Sicily Channel, Western Tyrrhenian Sea). Similarly, data from local catalogues and bulletins, such as the Bulletin of the OGS (Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e Geofisica Sperimentale) for the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region (NE Italy) or different instrumental catalogues for the Etna area (Patané et al., 2004; Distefano e Di Grazia, 2005; Barberi et al., 2015), as well as the instrumental catalogue of France (SI-Hex; Cara et al., 2015) and Slovenia (Živcic, 2009, for event after 1973), were selected in the respectively covered areas and time windows.

2.3.12. Moment magnitudes from moment tensor solutions

Following the criteria of Gasperini et al. (2012), all moment magnitude estimates provided by moment tensor catalogues were considered (Table 2), resulting in 740 Mw values for earthquakes between 1976 and 2014.

Totali 1976-2014 740

Table 2. Moment tensor catalogues considered for moment magnitude and related time coverage, together with the number of values adopted in CPTI15.

When different catalogues provide alternative Mw estimates for the same earthquake the different Mw values were combined and homogenized according to Gasperini et al. (2012). As a result, Mw estimates from moment tensor solutions, ranging from 3.9 to 6.8, are available for 494 earthquakes, representing the 11% of the catalogue (see also Figure 4). The uncertainty associated to Mw estimate was determined according to Gasperini et al. (2012), as well. The complete list of catalogues providing magnitude estimates is given in Appendix 3B.

2.3.3. Proxy moment magnitude

Lacking moment magnitude from moment tensor solutions, other types of instrumental magnitude of different origins were considered and converted to Mw, resulting in 1400 magnitude estimates.

For the main portion of the catalogue, in the time period from 1981 to 2014 different types of local magnitude provided by the CSTI1.1 (CSTI Working Group, 2005) and CSI1.1 (Castello et al., 2006) catalogues, and the Seismic Bulletin and ISIDe database of INGV were considered. Magnitudes from such catalogues were selected, converted to Mw, and combined according to Gasperini et al. (2013).

For the period between 1963 and 1980 Ms and mb values from the ISC Bulletin were mainly selected, and they were complemented with estimates from the catalogue by Margottini et al. (1993). Ms and mb values were treated and converted to Mw according to Lolli et al. (2014; 2015). Mw values derived from mb and Ms estimated by ISC were considered also in the period 1981-2012, either combined, through the average weighted with the inverse of the square of the uncertainty, with values derived from ML or preferred to them in case of earthquakes that are deep (mainly in the Southern Tyrrhenian sea area) or located out of the coverage of the Italian seismic network. The criteria above were not applied in the lack of the determination by one (or more) dataset in the period of its validity, or determinations with verified low reliability.

In the time period from 1972 to 1980 Wood-Anderson (WA) ML determined either by Monte Porzio observatory in Rome and contained in the ING Bulletin, or by Trieste station and published in Sandron et al. (2015) were also considered. The first ML WA values were converted to Mw by adding a fixed offset of 0.22 magnitude units (Lolli et al., 2016), for the latter the conversion proposed by Sandron et al. (2015) was adopted. Proxy Mw derived from ML WA were combined with those derived from ISC, when both available.

Lacking any other determination, ML values from the PFG catalogue (Postpischl, 1985a) were used considering them as equivalent to Mw, as deduced from the comparison with ISC data (Lolli et al., 2016). A few mb and Ms estimates from Margottini et al. (1993) were considered also for earthquakes occurred before 1963.

Table 3 summarizes the used datasets, their overall temporal validity, the provided magnitude type, and the relevant conversion to Mw.

Table 4. Priority scheme followed in the selection of instrumental magnitude. Magnitudes other than Mw from moment tensor solutions (priority 1), are also combined with macroseismic estimates in the assessment of MwDef.

In addition, moment magnitudes derived by Bernardi et al. (2005) for 12 earthquakes with epicentres in Switzerland and by Pino et al. (2008) for the 28 December 1908 earthquake (Messina straits) were considered.

As for earthquakes in the Etna volcanic areas, apart from Mw from moment tensor solutions, instrumental magnitudes were selected from the available local catalogues and specific conversion relation as summarized in Table 5.

3. What is new with respect to CPTI11

As already mentioned, the new CPTI15 version of the catalogue represents a significant evolution with respect to the previous one, as far as both input data, macroseismic and instrumental, and parameters determination are concerned.

The time coverage of the catalogue was extended from 2006 to the end of 2014, with the addition of 275 earthquakes, 35 of them supported also by intensity data from macroseismic field surveys.

In the common time-period (1000-2006) CPTI11 and CPTI15 contain 3182 and 4298 earthquakes, respectively.

Fifty earthquakes in CPTI11, listed in Appendix 4, are not anymore in CPTI15 either because they turned out to be fake (32), not supported by reliable data (8), or for errors in the original data or in the compilation of CPTI11. As decided by the compilers of the related section, 3 earthquakes of the Etna area with intensity < 5 are not included in the catalogue.

As a result, CPTI15 contains 1192 more earthquakes than CPTI11. Most of such a difference is due to the lowering of the energy thresholds to intensity 5 and Mw 4.0, which accounts for the addition of 757 events to those in CPTI11. The remaining 435 earthquakes, with higher intensity and/or magnitude mostly derive form new historical macroseismic studies (e.g. Camassi et al., 2011; Molin et al., 2008, Castelli et al., 2016; Azzaro and Castelli, 2015; Guidoboni and Ciuccarelli, 2011), and parametric catalogues (Živcic, 2009; Fäh et al., 2011). In addition, 50 depth earthquakes in the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea area, not considered by CPTI11, were added.

The 3129 earthquakes in both CPTI11 and CPTI15, show differences in both location and magnitude.

Differences in epicentral location (Figure 7) are mainly due to the updated macroseismic input data, as macroseismic epicentres are computed with the same method used for CPTI11. An exception is represented by 21 earthquakes, for which the macroseismic epicentre in CPTI11 was determined with the method by Bakun and Wentworth (1997), and in CPTI15 is substituted by an instrumental determination (4 cases), or a Boxer “method 0” (6) or “method 4” (11) solution. Other significant differences are due to new instrumental solutions and, at a lesser extent, to the substitution of macroseismic epicentres with instrumental ones.

Figure 7. Main differences in between the epicentral locations (≥ 30 km) in CPTI15 (coloured squares) and in CPTI11 (black dots).

Differences in magnitude values may be due, apart from the differences in input data, also to the different parameterization of macroseismic data or the different conversions of the instrumental values, but also to a different combination of the two different data types.

Figure 8 shows the Mw differences between CPTI15 and CPTI11, according to the Mw type in CPTI15 (left: mean, from macroseismic data, from epicentral intensity; right: observed instrumental and proxy Mw).

As a general trend, Mw values in CPTI15 are lower than those in CPTI11, especially for small earthquakes. As for macroseismic magnitudes, it is clear the effect of the many values (about 882) now derived from intensity distributions and resulting in wide magnitude ranges instead of being clustered around the values obtained from the linear Io-Mw conversion. Macroseismic determinations also account for the variations observed for high magnitudes. Such differences are due to the substitution of some solutions from the method by Bakun and Wentworth (1997) for large offshore earthquakes with determinations by Boxer (homogeneous with all the rest of catalogue), or to the new intensity distributions, sometimes remarkably different form previous ones. Significant variations, again mainly towards low values, derive also from the adoption of the solutions proposed by the new Swiss catalogue ECOS-09 (Fäh et al., 2011), which is updated with respect to the version considered by CPTI11.

Instrumental magnitudes higher than 5.5 are substantially equivalent in the two catalogues, probably as a result of the few changes in the considered magnitude type for large earthquakes. For low magnitude values some differences are present, especially as far as proxy Mw are concerned. This probably results from the new homogenization and combination criteria adopted. Differences in low values of Mw from moment tensor solutions are due to the corresponding datasets, previously not considered.

Figure 8. Comparison between CPTI15 and CPTI11 magnitudes. Magnitudes are shown according to their type in CPTI15. Left: Wmim = mean of instrumental and macroseismic determinations; Mdm = macroseismic, from intensity data; MIo = macroseismic, from epicentral intensity; Mpc = from parametric catalogue. Right: InsO = instrumental, Mw from moment tensor solutions; InsC = instrumental proxy Mw.

Figure 9 shows the distributions of magnitudes in CPTI11 and CPTI15 by classes of 0.25 magnitude units. The differences in low magnitude values shown in Figure 8 result in a much more homogeneous distribution of magnitudes from 4.50 to 5.25 in CPTI15 than in CPTI11.
