Hazard describes the long-term expected shaking: it is not a forecast.

Why the ground rarely shakes here

Tramatza sits in one of the most stable areas of Italy: far from the boundary between the Eurasian and African plates, on ancient, rigid crust that hardly accumulates tectonic stress any more.

That is why earthquakes here are rare and almost always weak: a small geological privilege.
