Figure 1 shows the shakemap computed by INGV using data of the Rete Accelerometrica Nazionale e Rete Accelerometrica Italia Settentrionale, for the peak ground acceleration (PGA) in %g.

 This map was produced automatically using the data recorded by the seismic stations near the epicenter – (red triangles in Figure 1 – see also the archive for more maps http://shakemap.rm.ingv.it/shake/archive/2012.html ).
