This paper focuses on using the integrated methodological, approach and analysis to study macroseismic damage effects in urban areas. A case study inherent seismic risk analysis of the old town centre of Potenza hilltop town has been discussed, with particular attention to the evaluation of possible local amplifying factors (stratigraphy and geomorphology) deduced from comparison with data studied with a geostatistical approach (kernel density, Moran Index, Getis & Ord index). Geostatistics have been applied to seismic damage scenario of 1980 Irpinian earthquake macroseismic data, offering a new point of view in seismic risk assessment.
