Abstract
Abstract. Italy is frequently hit and damaged by landslides, resulting in substantial and widespread disruptions. In particular, slope failures have a high
impact on the population, communication infrastructure, and economic and productive sectors. The hazard posed by landslides requires adequate
responses for landslide risk mitigation, with special attention to the risk to the population. In 2006 the Italian Department of Civil Protection,
an office of the Prime Minister, commissioned the Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection (Istituto di Ricerca per la Protezione
Idrogeologica), a research institute of the Italian National Research Council, to carry out operational forecasting of rainfall-induced landslides. Collecting landslide information in a catalogue is a preliminary action toward landslide forecasting. The use of spatially and temporally inaccurate
landslide catalogues results in uncertain and unreliable operational landslide forecasting. Consequently, accurate catalogues are needed to
reduce the uncertainties, which are to some extent unavoidable. To this end, over the last 15 years many researchers have been involved in compiling
a catalogue called ITALICA (ITAlian rainfall-induced LandslIdes CAtalogue), which currently lists 6312 records with information on rainfall-induced
landslides that occurred over the Italian territory between January 1996 and December 2021. Overall, more than one-third of the catalogue has very
high geographic accuracy (less than 1 km2) and hourly temporal resolution. In contrast, less than 2 % of the catalogue has low and
very low geographical accuracy and daily temporal resolution. This makes ITALICA the largest catalogue of rainfall-induced landslides accurately
located in space and time available in Italy. Without this high level of accuracy, the precipitation responsible for the initiation of landslides
cannot be reliably reconstructed, thus making the prediction of landslide occurrence ineffective. ITALICA can be accessed at
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8009366 (Brunetti et al., 2023). ITALICA's information on rainfall-induced landslides in Italy places a special emphasis on their spatial and temporal locations, making the catalogue
especially suitable for defining the rainfall conditions capable of triggering future landslides in the Italian territory. This information is
fundamental for decision-making in landslide risk management.
