The project is aimed to improve the reconstruction of the seismo-tectonic structure of the area interested by the last seismic events of the Central Italy by means of geological interpretation of seismic reflection profiles. The project was build thanks to the collaboration with the ENI spa (the Italian oil Company), in the framework of the academic agreement between University of Perugia and ENI for the Master degree in Petroleum Geology.
