Gardiola landslide (Germanasca Valley, Salza di Pinerolo (TO), Piedmont)

The Gardiola landslide is a complex slide activated on 14-16 October 2000 located in the central part of the Germanasca Valley, in Salza di Pinerolo municipality (TO, Piedmont – northern Italy). This landslide consists of several sector with different kinematic: a portion reactivated during 2000, characterized by prevalent translational movement, and a low rotational component due to the foot erosion operated by the Germanasca torrent. A portion on the left side of this sector, that present a rotational component, was identified as the mainly active sector of the landslide during a survey in 2003.

At the slope scale, the Gardiola landslide is included in a more extensive gravitative event, a quiescent event reported in the IFFI catalogue (IFFI project, Piedmont Region), extended from 1450 m to 1200 m asl. In the opposite side of the valley, in front of the landslide, was identified another quiescent landslide, extend from 1600 m asl to the bottom of the valley, at 1180 m asl.

Starting from March 2004, a permanent topographic monitoring network has been installed on the landslide, with a robotic total station located on the opposite side of the valley. The landslide was monitored from March 2004 to April 2009.

Supplemental Information: You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details). Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view.
