The crustal seismic activity in southern Italy during the last three centuries has been analyzed in order to confirm or disprove the evidence of a northward migration of earthquake epicenters from Calabria towards southern Apennines and Irpinia that we have found in a previous work. The results suggest such a migration to be statistically significant at a velocity of about 13 km/yr. This, in turns, stands for the existence of stress pulses propagating northward along the Apennine axis. Copyright 1995 by the American Geophysical Union.

Abstract
The crustal seismic activity in southern Italy during the last three centuries has been analyzed in order to confirm or disprove the evidence of a northward migration of earthquake epicenters from Calabria towards southern Apennines and Irpinia that we have found in a previous work. The results suggest such a migration to be statistically significant at a velocity of about 13 km/yr. This, in turns, stands for the existence of stress pulses propagating northward along the Apennine axis.
