The source included in the Database is mainly based on the work of 
D'Addezio et al. (2001) on the Aremogna-Cinque Miglia fault. These 
workers found a recurrence interval in the range 2140-5080 years. 
Two candidate historical earthquakes that may have been generated 
by this fault occurred in 801 A.D. and 1349 A.D. If none of these 
events ruptured this fault, and the true recurrence interval is in the 
lower part of the estimated range, this source could hold a 
significant potential for producing a large earthquake in the near 
future.


OPEN QUESTIONS

1) Are the Aremogna and Cinque Miglia scarps part of a single 
seismogenic source? Or could they behave independently?

2) When did the last surface faulting earthquake occur? In 1349 
A.D., 801 A.D. or even earlier? If none of these earthquakes occurred 
on the Aremogna-Cinque Miglia source, could the most recent 
earthquake generated by this source be another known historical 
earthquake?

3) The 7 May 1984, Valcomino (Abruzzo) earthquake occurred on 
the Barrea source, very close to the Aremogna-Cinque 
Miglia fault. What are the spatial relationships between the Barrea 
and Aremogna-Cinque Miglia sources? Is the boundary between 
these sources controlled by the E-W Sangro Valley Fault, proposed as 
the northern termination of the Barrea source by Boncio et al. (1998)?
