“…We concluded that "future archaeological research will cast light on this fundamental topic". Further data and updated conclusions on this issue can be found in Galadini et al [2001]. The fact that we did not define a macroseismic epicentre also counters the criticism (reported in the last part of the comment) about the use of the Otto Von Freising's source.…”

“…We showed that the uncovered structures were affected by damages con-.&tent with the effects of the 1117 earthquake. In the case of the Sm Lorenzo chirch, the chronology of the event is defined within a very narrow time span (see also Galadini et al [2001]), while the chronology of the damaging event of the San Martino church is less precise and can only be related to the 12th century. In no case it is uncertainty of "centuries".…”

“…All the studies on the 1117 earthquake (Magri and Molin 1986;Guidoboni 1984;Guidoboni and Boschi 1989;ENEL 1986;Boschi et al 1997Boschi et al , 2000Galadini et al 2001;Galli 2005;Guidoboni et al 2005;Guidoboni and Comastri 2005;Guidoboni et al 2007) interpret it as a complex, not yet fully explained seismic sequence, on the basis of the wide area from which damage is reported. In spite of the fact that many records are available for an earthquake of that period, most of them report damage to single monumental buildings in many places of Northern Italy, which cannot be interpreted in a straightforward way.…”

The Mw 5.7 earthquake that occurred on 12 May 1802 is the only one with Mw ≥ 5.5 located west of Lake Garda in the centralnorthern part of the Po Plain, Northern Italy, and the strongest event located in the seismic zone 907 of the ZS9 seismogenic zonation of Italy. Current parametric earthquake catalogs locate the event not far from important cities (e.g., Milan) and to sites where nuclear power plants were to be built in the 1980s or could be built in a near future. Although the earthquake parameters seemed sufficiently well constrained, a detailed investigation of documentary sources was performed, in repositories storing the documents of the Napoleonic departments to which the area affected by the earthquake belonged at that time. In the surviving archival series, we found the officers' correspondence on all the administrative aspects raised by the earthquake. The newly collected records allowed the authors to significantly increase the number of macroseismic intensity data, including new observations in the most damaged area. The results have been then interpreted in terms of both Mercalli-CancaniSieberg and EMS98 macroseismic scales. The P. Albini (B) · A.

Bassini 15, 20133 Milan, Italy e-mail: albini@mi.ingv.it earthquake parameters were derived applying two different methods in order to get two independent estimates. Earthquake location is confirmed, although the still scarce data available in the area to the east of the epicenter do not permit to reduce the uncertainty to a minimum. According to the Boxer method, the magnitude is now slightly higher, and the source model shows a good agreement with the tectonic setting of the area.

“…But the more different sources (or -later-archives) we include in our data base, the more precise our earthquake data will become. Excellent examples of the analysis of historical data are the publications of Galadini et al (2001) about the Veronese earthquake of 1117 (data files numbers 1084, 1559 and 1779-1782 in BASE), the work of Mucciarelli and Stucchi (2001) about disaster scenarios or, for the general approach, e.g. Hammerl andLenhardt 1997 andGisler et al (2004).…”
