Only a few specific geological and seismological studies exist to date 
concerning the identification and characterization of the seismogenic 
potential of the Cansiglio Source. Information on the location and geometry 
of this source, causative fault of the Me=6.1 1511 Bosco del Cansiglio 
earthquake, can be obtained also from several papers dealing with the 
neotectonic evolution of the Friuli region. Additional information on the 
associated earthquake may be retrieved from the "Catalogue of Strong Italian 
Earthquakes, 461 b.C. to 1990" (Boschi et al., 1997), also available from 
http://www.ingv.it/.

Peruzza et al. (1989)
These workers evaluate all the available seismological and geological 
information (historical and instrumental seismicity, as well as tectonic 
structures) in order to produce reasonable hypothesis on the seismogenesis of 
the Alpago-Cansiglio area. As regards the October 18, 1936 earthquake the 
authors calculate the epicentral location and the focal mechanisms of the 
main shock and of the strongest aftershock. They show that the earthquake 
had a right-lateral slip on a N193-striking plane, and propose to associate the 
event with one of the structures of the NNW-striking Mt. Cornetto fault 
system.

Sirovich et al. (1999)
These investigators calculate the fault parameters of the 1936 earthquake 
source using intensity data. They show that the best fitting fault plane has a 
strike ranging between N232 and N212 with a rake involving left-lateral 
reverse motion.
