This short paper illustrates the studies carried out on a landslide phenomenon occurred during the Spring of 2013 in the Parma Appenines. The activation/reactivation of the landslide caused the interruption of a provincial road and the disruption of few houses. No fatalities occurred. The work presented is aimed to reconstruct the process that caused the landslide activation, describes the monitoring facilities that were set up after the landslide activation and how their data can be used to develop an appropriate numerical model.
