1 Seismotectonic map of the Calabrian Arc and eastern Sicily. Faults are mainly normal (barbs on downthrown block) and Pleistocene–Holocene in age. Crustal seismicity (H < 35 km) since 1000 AD (Postpischl 1985; Boschi . 1995) and focal mechanisms of instrumental earthquakes (Gasparini . 1982; Cello . 1982; Anderson & Jackson 1987; Amato . 1995) are shown. Numbers refer to fault segments: 1, Cittanova; 2, Sant’Eufemia; 3, Scilla; 4, Galatro; 5, Serre. The events of the 1783 earthquake sequence are represented as black dots. Boxes indicate the locations of Figs 8 and 9. Inset shows kinematic slip indicators on fault segments 1 and 2.
