This work presents the Differential SAR Interferometry and pixel-offset analysis on the event landslide that struck Montescaglioso town (Matera, southern Italy) on December 3rd, 2013. The event occurred after adverse weather conditions that produced a ground displacement of several meters, causing a severe emergency situation. The analysis has shown the presence of two main directions of motion_ a major and a minor movement along the South-SouthWest and South-SouthEast directions. The pixel-offset results are well in agreement with both the magnitude and the deformation mechanisms that have been identified and mapped during field observations.
