Two main shocks (<jats:italic>M<jats:sub>w<\/jats:sub><\/jats:italic> 6.2 and <jats:italic>M<jats:sub>w<\/jats:sub><\/jats:italic> 6.6) between the end of August and October caused the death of almost 300 people, and the destruction of 50 villages and small towns scattered along 40\u00a0km in the hanging wall of the N165\u00b0 striking Mount Vettore fault system, that is, the structure responsible for the earthquakes. The 24 August southern earthquake, besides causing all the casualties, razed to the ground the small medieval town of Amatrice and dozens of hamlets around it. The 30 October main shock crushed definitely all the villages of the whole epicentral area (up to 11 intensity degree), extending northward the level of destruction and inducing heavy damage even to the 30\u00a0km far Camerino town. The survey of the macroseismic effects started the same day of the first main shock and continued during the whole seismic sequence, even during and after the strong earthquakes at the end of October, allowing the definition of a detailed picture of the damage distribution, day by day. Here we present the results of the final survey in terms of Mercalli\u2010Cancani\u2010Sieberg intensity, which account for the cumulative effects of the whole 2016 sequence (465 intensity data points, besides 435 related to the 24 August and 54 to the 26 October events, respectively). The distribution of the highest intensity data points evidenced the lack of any possible overlap between the 2016 earthquakes and the strongest earthquakes of the region, making this sequence a unique case in the seismic history of Italy. In turn, the cross matching with published paleoseismic data provided some interesting insights concerning the seismogenic behavior of the Mount Vettore fault in comparison with other active normal faults of the region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/2017tc004583","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,25]],"date-time":"2017-09-25T04:52:52Z","timestamp":1506315172000},"page":"2179-2191","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["The Macroseismic Intensity Distribution of the 30 October 2016 Earthquake in Central Italy (<i>M<sub>w<\/sub><\/i> 6.6): Seismotectonic Implications"],"prefix":"10.1029","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0368-595X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Galli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento della Protezione Civile Nazionale  Rome Italy"},{"name":"Istituto di Geologia Ambientale e Geoingegneria Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche  Rome Italy"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Castenetto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento della Protezione Civile Nazionale  Rome Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4258-2451","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edoardo","family":"Peronace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto di Geologia Ambientale e Geoingegneria Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche  Rome Italy"},{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra Sapienza University of Rome  Rome Italy"}]}],"member":"13","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"ASCN [Archivio Storico Comunale di Norcia](17th cent.)
