Two independent active faults, capable of generating medium-sized earthquakes in theSan Vito lo Capo peninsula, northwestern Sicily (Italy) have been identified as a result of detailedfield studies. In western Sicily, instrumental seismicity is low; in fact, except for the 1968 Beliceearthquake (Ms = 5.4), historical records indicate that this area is relatively quiescent. Most of theseismicity is in the offshore sector of the Sicilian Maghrebian Chain, which is characterized byseveral medium- to low-magnitude events. The main shock of the 2002 Palermo seismic sequence(Mw = 5.9) represents the largest earthquake felt in the area in recent years. The deformationpattern characterizing the most recent faults mapped in northwestern Sicily includes a grid ofhigh-angle faults consisting of major east-west-striking right-lateral and north-south-strikingleft-lateral features. This fault grid is related to a regional transcurrent right-lateral shear zone,here named the UEKA shear zone, bounded to the north by the Ustica-Eolie fault and to thesouth by the Kumeta-Alcantara fault. The UEKA shear zone accommodates the regional straininduced by the current stress field acting in the area, which, as emerges from both structuraland seismological data, is characterized by a NW-SE-striking main compression
