摘要

We reply to a comment by Messina et?al., who strongly criticized our article on the San Pio Fault, by showing that in areas of complex geology such as the central Apennines, where the current tectonic setting results from the superposition of different tectonic regimes, the equation: 'most visible active fault=major seismogenic fault' can be misleading.
