We integrate paleoseismic data sets along the Mt. Vettore-Mt. Bove normal fault system rupturing at the surface in the 30 October 2016 Norcia earthquake. Through the analysis of new trenches from this work and a review of the preexisting data, we correlate events among trench sites along antithetic and synthetic fault splays. We recognize seven M 6.5, 2016 Norcia-type (or larger) surface-faulting events in the last similar to 22 kyr, including 2016. Before 2016, one event occurred in the past two millennia (260-575 CE) and possibly corresponds to the event damaging Rome in 443 or 484/508 CE. Three previous events occurred between 10590 and 415 BCE, whereas the two oldest ones date between 19820 and 16540 BCE. The average recurrence time is 3,360-3,640 years for the last similar to 22 kyr and 1,220-1,970 years for the last similar to 4 kyr. We infer a minimum dip-slip rate of 0.26-0.38 mm/year on the master fault in the central portion of the Mt. Vettore-Mt. Bove normal fault system and a dip-slip rate of at least 0.10 mm/year on the southernmost portion. We infer a Middle-Late Pleistocene inception of the long-term scarp of the investigated splays. The along-strike variation of slip rates well reproduces the trend of the 2016 surface slip; thus, the time window exposed in the trenches is representative for the present fault activity. Based on trenching data, different earthquake rupture scenarios should be also considered for local hazard assessment.
