A landslide is defined as the ‘movement of a mass of rock, earth or debris along a slope’. The causes are complex and often combined. In addition to the amount of water or snow, deforestation and fires also cause landslides. Alpine and Apennine areas of the country, but also coastal areas, are generally exposed to the risk of landslide movements, due to the nature of the rocks and the slope, which can render the slope quite unstable.
