Abstract

This paper outlines the main characteristics of the seismicity recorded in Italy during 2014 and describes the status of the National Seismic Network (RSN). In that year 427 seismic stations contributed to the RSN, most of them owned by the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) and other coming from local, regional or foreign monitoring networks.
The Italian Seismic Bulletin (BSI) of 2014 contains 27433 located earthquakes, most of them belong to one of the 32 seismic sequences identified; among these the most significant are the one that began in April in Alpi Cozie (Italy­France border region) and another one in December in Tuscany, in the region between Firenze and Siena.
The minimum magnitude of completeness of the BSI in 2014 is MC 1.2, the same of the previous year.
We illustrate the seismicity of anthropic origin present in the BSI (about 240 events, almost 1% of the total) and we present the seismograms of a couple of collapse­landslide occurred in the Dolomites near Belluno, an area where these phenomena occur very frequently.
