Abstract

Pomarico is a very small town in Basilicata, South Italy, historically landslide prone. The latest main landslide started on 25th of January 2019, on the northern east side of the hill, rapidly evolving and causing, on January 29th, the collapse of the main road of the town as well as of the overlooked buildings and serious damages of several buildings of the town. This work introduces the main features of this landslide and the earlier results of the studies on this phenomenon. The main geological characteristics of the site and the morphological features of the landslide are presented. Moreover, the interpretation of the complex failure mechanism as well as an analysis of the singularity of the triggering rainfall event are shown. Finally, this work focuses on the terrestrial radar monitoring system, installed after the event, and its preliminary outcomes.
