Abstract
This paper is divided into two parts: the first presents a summary of the history of
macroseismic collection data in Italy, from an initial experience in the mid-19th century,
to the beginning of the use of macroseismic postcards and their evolution in the first
decades of the 20th century; the second part analyses a number of specific aspects of
the content of macroseismic postcards. An example of the reading difficulties that these
postcards pose is illustrated together with a brief comparison between the Mercalli and
Mercalli-Cancani-Sieberg scales, which serve to interpret macroseismic postcards. Both
the historical and analytical parts of the paper, aim to improve the comprehension of the
sources and, consequently, the knowledge on Italian seismicity.
