Il dissesto della rupe di Gerace: patrimonio artistico e fattori idrogeologici di rischio

The paper outlines the sequence of hydrogeological catastrophic events, mainly landslides and floods, recorded in the Gerace territory (SE Calabria). The instability hazard of the historical heritage due to main hydrogeological factors is characterised. The analysis of both past catastrophic events and present stability conditions of the town area allows to draw some predictive indications about the expected type of instability phenomena that can be activate during extreme rainfall events.
