IFFI Project - Inventory of Landslide Phenomena in Italy

The IFFI project (Inventory of Landslide Phenomena in Italy), carried out by ISPRA and the Regions and Autonomous Provinces, supplies a detailed picture of the distribution of landslide phenomena within Italy. As of today the inventory has recorded to date 614 799 landslides affecting an area of about 23,000 km2, or 7.5% of the national territory. The data is updated 2015 for Calabria, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Piedmont, Sicily, Tuscany, Valle d'Aosta and the Autonomous Province of Bolzano; 2014 to Liguria, Emilia-Romagna and Basilicata. For the remaining regions the data is updated to 2007.

The main products and services produced by the IFFI project are as follows: the online cartography service making it possible to visualise landslides and query the main parameters involved, and the Report on landslides in Italy (Rapporti ISPRA, 78/2007), which supplies a summary of data on landlsides on both regional and national scale.
