The Authors provided a freely accessible database of investigations for an area affected by Emilia earthquake in 2012. The data are very useful, although they are located in only one municipality. My suggestion is to improve the details on the study area in terms of:

- Insert the areas affected by liquefaction

- few sentences on geological setting are necessary

- Present a geological cross-section of the study area

- Figure 2 should be made of 2 maps, one for point investigations and another for linear, as the latter are not visible

- Several typos are present in the manuscript, please check

- In the conclusions, provide more comments on how you used or will use these data in the future.

The authors present a geotechnical database for soil liquefaction in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Such studies are valuable especially for carrying forth investigations in the future. The database can be used in diverse studies. Thus, the study is meritorious. However, the serious concern from my side is that the authors do not clearly state the problem. They need to refer to some standard publications that address soil liquefaction issues after major earthquakes. Based on the shortcomings of those studies, they can better define the problem and proceed with their database. Also, a dissection of the database is required to justify the novelty of the work. For instance, they could easily use some statistical inference to tell the audience about the uniqueness of the data. Implications can be also networked with the database that is prepared. In its current form, the paper looks more like a report. Please flesh up to give life.
