IFFI Project

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 registered almost 485,000 landslide phenomena affecting an area of around 20,721 sq km, or 6.9% of the national territory.
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.
On 13 and 14 November a national workshop titled “The IFFI project – Inventory of Landslide Phenomena in Italy: methodology and results” was held in the ISPRA auditorium in Rome to communicate and disseminate information on landslides. It saw the participation of the leading names in the academic and scientific world and of the technical departments of the Environment and Land Defence General Secreteriats of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces.
