- Abstract
In the last century the Amalfi Coast was affected by numerous severe floods in
conjunction with exceptional rainfall that caused major damage in terms of lost lives and economic cost. Historical documentary sources are an important source of information for reconstructing exceptional flood events occurring prior to the instrumental era. Historical analysis also provides an opportunity to extend the time scale window for flood risk studies. To study historical floods we collected all the available information concerning the period between the 16th and the 20th centuries by analysing both published and unpublished sources. The great variety of historical sources made it necessary to formulate an ad hoc scientific procedure that takes into account not only the completeness and reliability of documents related to the period, but also
the intrinsic quality of the material. Experience in historical data collection shows that not all documentary sources can provide useful information for flood characterization, but it is necessary to have a selective criteria in order to obtain the best information rather than the best dataset quality.
Analysis of the data in question allowed us to achieve a chronological reconstruction
of more than 100 floods. In this task, the level of information was decisive to carry
out spacetime identification, estimate the affected area and define type of damage
to public and private structures, and the geological effects induced. (literal)

- Abstract
- A systematic investigation of historical sources was carried out analysing both published and unpublished sources since XVI century. The great variety of historical sources made it necessary to formulate an ad hoc scientific procedure that would above all take into consideration the document's
intrinsic quality in order to minimize spurious data. In this task, the level of information was decisive: we were able to carry out spacetime identification, estimate the area affected, the type of damage to public and private structures, and the geological effects induced. On the basis of the size of the areas hit by flooding, the type of effects induced on the urban and physical environment and the recurrence intervals, we estimated the magnitude of the events. The latter measure is undoubtedly fundamental
for hydrogeological risk assessment and for estimating the return times of extreme events in the area. (literal)
