Abstract
In this paper lessons are extracted from the comparison between the very
different consequences that similar earthquakes had on the neighbouring towns of
Norcia and Amatrice during the 2016 seismic crisis of central Italy. It was found that
the differences in damage were essentially due to the strengthening of most houses in
Norcia done during the previous decades. This is also likely to lead to a much faster
recover of the economy and livelihood in Norcia, as Amatrice needs to be entirely
rebuilt.
