The inset indicates the exact location of the study area (the white rectangle). The coloring indicates the number of days elapsed since the Amatrice mainshock of 24 August 2016. The distribution of the seismicity is plotted along two sections, (b) and (c), parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the average strike of the entire fault system activated during the sequence. The trace of the section parallel to the fault system (b) is indicated in the map (a) by a red line, the trace referred in (c) is just perpendicular to (b) and goes through the epicentral location of the Amatrice earthquake of 24 August 2016 (shown by a yellow star).

Colors distinguish velocity models used for stations in the Norcia (blue) and Amatrice areas (red). The black rectangles show the fault planes assumed in the scenario modeling, and focal mechanism plot shows the corresponding mechanism.
