Cascading landslides are sequences of multiple landslides that commonly involves significant volumes of material and exhibit variable velocity up to several m/s. The impact of these processes is generally significant so that they can claim victims and be responsible of significant losses. Considering the complexity of the process, their mitigation involves the understanding of causeeffect relations between the initial triggering event and subsequent cascading processes as well as the development of methodological framework for their analysis. On this basis, this work aims to analyse the characteristics of the cascading landslide event of Morino-Rendinara, in the L’Aquila province, applying a procedure that, comprising multiple methods, is capable of providing data depicting mechanism and kinematics of the system, anatomy of landslides and prospective susceptibility scenario.
