Abstract
For the seismic hazard evaluation of the region including the southern Calabro-
Peloritanian Arc and southeastern Sicily, the determination of the macroseismic virtual intensity
distributions has been carried out, characteristic of the seismogenic zones that fall within the area in study,
starting with the structural framework of the region and from the analysis of the observed intensity effected
through suitable filters. The macroseismic parameters, derived from such virtual distributions and used for
seismic hazard evaluation, are not only a reference for eventual subsequently deeper knowledge referable to
the need for a better characterization of the reference modelling, but distinguish themselves as an essential
instrument for the definition of seismic hazard scenarios correlated to seismic events that take place in
single seismogenic zones.
