Short summary
We performed a paleoseismological study on the active Mt. Morrone fault, which constitutes one of the most problematic structures of the central Apennines in terms of large earthquake probability. Information on historical seismicity is relatively sparse, and the paleoseismological record is only limited  to the northern portion of the fault. We investigated four trenches, and we recovered the occurrence of three events over the last 5–6 kyr, suggesting an average recurrence interval of 1800 years.
