This dataset, maintained by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), is the fourth generation of the Italian Parametric Earthquake Catalogue series, first released in 1999. It provides macroseismic and instrumental parameters for earthquakes in Italy and surrounding areas with maximum intensity I ≥ 5 or magnitude Mw ≥ 4.0, covering the period 1000-2020. The catalogue lists 4894 events, about 70% of which have parameters derived from macroseismic datapoints in the Italian Macroseismic Database DBMI15. Where available, both macroseismic and instrumental parameters are given, alongside a set of preferred values combining the two, including weighted-average magnitudes and a selection between macroseismic and instrumental epicentres.The Italian Parametric Earthquake Catalogue (CPTI, Catalogo Parametrico dei Terremoti Italiani) represents the most extensive and reliable source of parameters for earthquakes in Italy and surrounding areas. CPTI15 is the fourth generation of the CPTI series, the first dating back to 1999 (CPTI99), and provides the most advanced and updated sets of macroseismic and instrumental data and parameters for Italian earthquakes with maximum intensity I ≥ 5 or magnitude Mw ≥ 4.0 in the period 1000-2020. The catalogue lists 4894 events, 70% of which have parameters based on the macroseismic datapoints provided by the Italian Macroseismic Database DBMI15. If available, both macroseismic and instrumental parameters are provided, together with a set of “preferred ones”, which consist of a selection between the macroseismic and the instrumental epicentres, and the weighted average of the macroseismic and instrumental magnitudes.
