Journal Article
The Italian Archive of Historical Earthquake Data, ASMI
2025
Overview
ASMI, the Italian Archive of Historical Earthquake Data (https://doi.org/10.13127/asmi, Rovida et al., 2017), is a data collection distributed online that currently provides seismological data on more than 6600 earthquakes that have occurred in the Italian peninsula and surrounding areas from 461 BCE to the present, based on more than 460 seismological data sources. ASMI is the Italian node of AHEAD, the European Archive of Historical Earthquake Data, which is, in turn, the European node providing data on historical earthquakes to EPOS ERIC, the European Plate Observing System, a European Research Infrastructure Consortium. ASMI distributes earthquake parameters, sets of macroseismic intensity data, and other details about earthquake effects, along with the bibliographical reference of the data source and, if possible, the data source itself. ASMI's web portal allows users to query the data by earthquake or by data source and to download the earthquake parameters and macroseismic intensities and represent them on interactive maps and tables. ASMI is updated regularly with new data on past and recent earthquakes. ASMI is the basic source of data for the Italian Macroseismic Database (DBMI) and the Italian Parametric Earthquake Catalogue (CPTI). This article describes the archive content and structure, its main features and functionalities, and its potential seismological research applications.
