The Messina Strait, between Calabria and Sicily’s Coast, is one of the most seismically active areas of the Southern Italy. Since 1783, there have been 7 earthquakeswith M ranging between 6.0 and 7.2 They have produced wide damages and induced numerous and spectacular coseismic environmental effects (primary and secondary effects) overall along the coast where the impact was particularly catastrophic. These earthquakes caused several changes in elevation, landslides and settlements, relevantlandslides (the 1783 event triggered in Scilla, along the cliff of the M. Pac`1 a huge rock avalanche of 5 Mm3 in the areal and 3 Mm3 in the submarine zone, generating a disastrous tsunamis), ground fractures (Capo V. area, during the 1905 seismic event in Messina Reggio C., Villa S. Giovanni, during the 1908 event)liquefaction phenomena (Messina, Ganzirri and Reggio C., 1908)
