Short summary
Trenches were excavated along the Fiandaca Fault providing data for relocating buildings damaged by the 2018 Mt. Etna earthquake. The paleoseismological results revealed 3 surface faulting events occurred in: 2018, 1894 and an unknown one in the Early Middle Ages. To verify a possible increase in seismicity, fault scarps were analysed conceptualizing a kinematic model and obtaining throw rate growth in the last 2 kyrs.
