Abstract

On November 24, 2004, at midnight (23.59 PM, local time), a moderate earthquake (Ml 5.2, Mw 5.0; focal depth 8 km; source INGV, http://www.ingv.it/terremoti/bresciano2004/mecc-focale.html) hit the Lake Garda region, within the active fold and thrust belt of the Southern Alps (Figure 1). This earthquake was felt in the whole Northern Italy, from Venice to Milan and Genoa, and abroad, for instance in Switzerland; the epicentral area includes the town of Salò and its surroundings, where where significant damage occurred and more than 200 people were left homeless. Epicentral intensity of VII-VIII in the MCS scale has been assigned in a preliminary way based on severe damage at the villages of Clibbio and Pompegnino.
