According to several studies, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, produce variations in the absolute<br />

value of the local geomagnetic field intensity. To detect possible effects related to seismic activity in<br />

central Italy, INGV installed a network of four magnetometers in a region extending from 41 to 43 N<br />

and 12 to 15 E, since 1989. Total geomagnetic field intensity was synchronously sampled at the<br />

magnetometer sites and averaged on a daily basis. Observed averaged values were then differentiated<br />

with respect to the data recorded at the permanent nearby Geomagnetic Observatory of LAquila (42 23<br />

N, 13 19 E).The study area is characterized by active faulting and seismicity, and by historical<br />

destructive earthquakes. In the search of potential significant magnetic field variations of tectonic origin,<br />

data were recorded for about 16 years only with some interruptions due to temporary instrumental<br />

failures. This data set represents a long series of geomagnetic total field intensity measurements that is<br />

valuable to study the secular variation in a tectonically active area. Some anomalous variation of the<br />

differential geomagnetic field intensity are discussed in relation to the seismic activity for the whole<br />

dataset until 2006.<br />
